App Tamer provides you with a solution for limiting the usage of CPU resources on your computer. By reducing the CPU usage for some of your running applications you can extend the runtime of your battery and quickly improve the performance of your computer.
By clicking the app's icon from your Menu Bar you reveal a list of all running programs and their correspondent CPU usage values. The utility allows you to set a CPU usage limit for any of the running apps. Once the programs reach the indicated limit, App Tamer slows them down or shuts down the utilities.
You also have access to a built-in search tool that helps you immediately find the app or process you wish to access.
The only issue I have with this program is that you need to install an additional tool in order to use App Tamer. However, completing this task takes just a few moments and you can immediately start working with the program.
Other than that, not much more can be said about this application. It does exactly what's being said on the homepage of the developer, works great, and immediately improves your Mac's performance.
Hence, you should give App Tamer a try if you wish to reduce CPU usage on your Mac. In addition, it comes with a fair price.
