Why consider Airway

Fan control designed around the menu bar.

Airway is intentionally focused: direct fan modes, live readings, reusable presets, and automation without keeping a separate control window open.

Airway is a good fit if

You want fewer steps between heat and action.

Full fan controls should live in the menu bar.
You want presets included in the trial and paid license.
You use both a desktop Mac and a MacBook.
You prefer a one-time purchase over a subscription.

Know before downloading

A focused independent app.

Airway supports macOS 14 and later on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Direct hardware control depends on the fans and SMC capabilities in your specific model. The app is distributed directly because fan access requires a privileged helper that is not compatible with App Store sandboxing.
