whyhot

Run the whyhot macOS heat diagnostic without installing Rust:

npx whyhot

Or install it globally:

npm install --global whyhot
whyhot

This package contains the official precompiled whyhot binaries for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. It has no runtime dependencies, install scripts, telemetry, or binary downloads.

whyhot is read-only: it explains likely heat sources but never kills a process automatically.
