About this app

OVERHEATING & PERFORMANCE THROTTLING
Is your phone overheating and displaying throttled performance when you play graphically demanding games or put other types of heavy load on your CPU and GPU? Then you need a phone temperature monitor and thermal app!

Thermal Monitor helps you to track and manage the overheating and thermal throttling behavior of your phone by displaying a thermal status indicator and phone temperature monitor in a low-key and unintrusive floating status widget, and in a system notification. You can also toggle the temp widget warning/alarm on - or listen to a verbal warning - to never miss out on important thermal status changes when your device is overheated, even when focusing on your favorite game.

If a device is put under heavy load or high ambient temperatures, the operating system will automatically be managing this state by applying thermal throttling and toggle between necessary throttling levels to limit and reduce additional heat. In extreme conditions, the device will shut down! So be preapared to take action; use a phone temperature monitor to track the device/core temp and throttling status, configure your device and apps to run your CPU and GPU cooler (lower screen resolution, lower graphics settings, close other apps etc), or maybe even invest in a specific GPU cooler or cooling pad/case.


KEY FEATURES
• Thermal guardian and heat monitor displaying the current overheating and thermal throttling state
• Minimalistic, low-key and unintrusive floating (always on top) thermal status indicator and live temp widget
• Tweak floating temp widget position, opacity and size (minimize visual intrusion or maximize status awareness)
• Smallest app size, RAM and battery usage (when compared to app sizes and memory footprint of all similar top chart apps)
• Enable verbal thermal throttling updates (audible warning when throttled/overheated)
• Optimized and designed for games and other tasks leading to highly affected GPU/CPU temperature
• Status bar heat indicator icon and live temperature monitor info in notification
• Quick settings tile for accessible and convenient toggle on/off
• Displaying phone temperature in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit
• No ads or unnecessary permissions
• No internet requirement


PREMIUM FEATURES
• Configure what content to show in the floating overheating and throttling status widget (throttling level indicator, ambient temp sensor or battery temp, battery level, thermal headroom trend)
• Toggle between thermal throttling level or current device temperature in status bar icon
• Increased temperature monitor precision (adds one decimal in temp widget degrees value and status bar icon to show even the smallest changes)
• Visual floating temp widget warning/alarm on thermal status change and above specified throttling level or phone temperature (i.e. when throttled/overheated)
• Configure foreground and background color and opacity to match all apps, themes, tastes and games you play
• Tweak heat monitor status update interval (maximize refresh rate to optimize for precision or minimize for even less impact on battery life)


Please note that you can always rely on the overheating and throttling info provided by the operating system and shown in the temperature monitor, even though many phones do not allow a temperature app direct access to scan the onboard GPU or CPU core temp sensor nowadays. The Thermal Monitor MO (modus operandi) is therefore to fall back to the battery temp sensor unless there are any other relevant thermometer or temp sensor available (battery temp can still be a good heat indicator, but your operating system will internally anyway use the CPU core temp sensor and GPU core temp sensor to toggle and tweak any thermal throttling during an overheating event).


Stay cool!

Very happy to now be able to move floating icon into the cutout area. I really respect and appreciate the attitude this app takes towards permissions. The top 2 apps above this wanted: Bluetooth NFC, permission to delete apps, sync info, advertising info, WiFi permission, and 10 other *absurd*, nonessential permissions that were just appalling! I can't imagine all the info they were harvesting. NONE of the permissions were required for app functionality!

Thank you so much for sharing! The cutout issue was something that took us a while to figure out but super happy we finally did 😊 Glad that you mention the permission situation. We'll stay focused on offering the best app possible, without any hidden agenda.

Cannot reposition widget away from right edge of screen. It does go up & down very well. Option of customizing widget would be of value, but for a no-cost app not too bad. Wish list : put the temp display in the notification bar. Update : Was able to relocate the thingy to left side, appears to go only to left or right edges, nothing in between 🍺

Good to hear repositioning worked! 🙂 But yes, designed to stick to edges. Temp in notification is there but you maybe mean as numer icon when notifications are not expanded?

Please update, the battery percentage is not realtime there is a 1% descrepancy while charging.. for example.. my phone is at 60%.. then it will read only 59%.. hows that even possible? .. please update this good app. follow up: Im using the floating widget and comparing to the default OS battery level indicator located on upper right corner of my phone... Im running at android 12.. Its always -1% it will eventually be at the right level, it seems just delay not realtime. maybe thats it.

Thanks for your update!! Any battery status changes will be picked up and displayed by the app as soon as they are reported by the operating system (for some other parts of the app, there is a 20 second refresh interval, to preserve battery power). Double checking code, this is clearly either OS delaying message delivery or a device specific issue.
