APP TAMER 2.1 – EFFICIENTLY MANAGE YOUR CPU CYCLES, SAVE ENERGY, AND MORE.
App Tamer tames your processor-monopolizing apps and keeps them from chewing up excessive CPU time and battery life. Powered by a unique AutoStop feature, App Tamer stops each application when you switch away from it — when you return to that app, it restarts automatically!
App Tamer is built around an attractive and clear user interface, designed for managing all your running applications with minimum distraction or frustration. With helpful displays, you can monitor the average percentage of your processor(s) being used by each app, or access a graphical history or your CPU usage. Easily enable AutoStop for any application, or limit it to a certain amount of CPU time.
Don’t waste time trying to manage CPU usage on an app-by-app basis — liberate your Mac with App Tamer!
APP TAMER DOES ALL THE WORK
Unlike some utilities that let you manually stop processes, App Tamer automatically handles the details for you. It slows or pauses an application when you switch away from it, then automatically restarts it when you start using it again. Just set it and forget it – App Tamer quietly saves battery and CPU power while you work (or play).
BUT YOU’RE IN CONTROL
You choose which apps to manage. Automatically stop them when you’re not using them, or just slow them down so they don’t use more than a certain amount of CPU.
App Tamer’s preferences let you tune its behavior to your needs, whether you’re frugally conserving battery power or feeding every last CPU cycle to Starcraft.
ROAD WARRIORS TAKE NOTE!
Recovering even a small percentage of your CPU time can translate into significant battery savings. Stopping an application that’s consuming 5% of your CPU can translate into 20 or 30 minutes of additional battery runtime.
WHAT ABOUT APP NAP?
Apple knows a good thing when they see it. Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks introduced App Nap, a feature that ‘s similar to App Tamer. But to activate it you have to hide or completely cover an application’s windows, making it not-so-automatic. And App Nap doesn’t work at all with behind-the-scenes applications like Spotlight and Time Machine.
App Tamer gives you control. Let’s say Spotlight is overheating your Mac and making the fans rev up like a fighter jet. Just select it and tell App Tamer to keep its CPU usage below 25% – done!
