WhoIsCooking
A Mac menu bar temperature monitoring app that identifies the heat sources of AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, and supports scheduling tasks onto efficiency cores to reduce temperature.
Timeline (last 90 days)
WhoIsCooking is a Mac menu bar app that displays chip temperature in real time and identifies the main AI agent currently generating heat.
WhoIsCooking is priced at a one-time purchase of 5 US dollars, with no subscription and no bundling.
WhoIsCooking offers a "one-click cooling" feature that can schedule busy workloads onto Apple Silicon's efficiency cores.
WhoIsCooking's one-click cooling essentially adjusts the scheduling policy of the relevant processes so that the system treats them as background workloads, thereby naturally falling onto efficiency cores for execution.
WhoIsCooking's scheduling change is probabilistic, not 100% enforced.
Pushing workloads onto efficiency cores causes those tasks to execute more slowly; this is a physical trade-off that the app cannot eliminate.
WhoIsCooking currently only covers heat source identification for agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, and broader background process monitoring is not within the scope of its promotion.
WhoIsCooking targets Mac developers who heavily use AI coding agents, especially users of Apple Silicon machines.
