Got Unruly Applications?

Some applications, like web browsers and older apps, continue running tasks or animating ads even when they're idle. That uses valuable CPU time, which leaves you with:

  • Less CPU time for the application you're using
  • Reduced battery run-time
  • Increased heat
App Tamer's Application Manager

Tame Them with App Tamer

Find the culprits and get them under control. With App Tamer, you simply do this:

  1. Launch App Tamer and click on Details
  2. Sort your running applications by average CPU usage
  3. Click the checkbox next to apps that need to be tamed
  4. Save battery and CPU time

App Tamer will automatically pause those applications whenever you're not using them, reducing their CPU use to zero.

Preferences give you total control

AutoStop Does All The Work

Unlike some utilities that let you manually stop processes, App Tamer's unique "AutoStop" feature handles the details for you. It 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

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. There's even an App Tamer menu in the menubar to make fast changes and check the status of the apps you're running.

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 a beautifully simple yet revolutionary App! But don't tell Apple that I can put off upgrading my Macbooks for another year ;)
- Marko Turner
It's "just working". Thank you so much. Love the product. Love the support.
- Gregory Morse
A) the user interface is completely intuitive, B) it seems to work perfectly and instantaneously, and C) I did independent confirmation with my usual tool (top from the command line) and astonishingly, Safari was sitting there firmly fixed at 0 %CPU. That is awesome!!! I am absolutely going to be telling everyone I know to go buy this immediately!
