What it does

  • One switch in the menu bar. Filled icon. on. Outline icon: off. "Turn On For" starts a timed session. The icon style is a setting.
  • While on, closing the lid does not sleep the Mac. Running processes and network connections carry on.
  • While on, closing the lid locks the screen (setting, on by default), so the Mac does not open without a password.
  • While on with the lid closed, it drives the fans from the CPU temperature (setting, on by default). macOS keeps a closed MacBook's fans near their lowest speed even when the chip is hot; ClamDown raises them along a curve: lowest speed up t
  • On battery, it switches on Low Power Mode for the battery profile (setting, on by default) and puts your previous value back when it switches off.
