Hot
Displays macOS CPU thermal throttling, temperature, scheduler limit, available CPUs, and system thermal pressure with color-coded alerts. Offers real-time sensor graphs and at-a-glance hardware health feedback for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs from the menu bar.
The project seems no longer developed. Last version, 1.9.4, released in July 2024, can be still downloaded from Github

What is Hot?
Hot is macOS menu bar application that displays the CPU speed limit due to thermal issues.
Differences between the Intel and Apple Silicon versions
On an Intel machine, Hot will display the CPU temperature, CPU speed limit (throttling), scheduler limit and number of available CPUs. By default, the menu bar text will be colorized in orange if the CPU speed limit falls below 60%.
On Apple Silicon, these informations are not available. Along with the CPU temperature, Hot will display the system's thermal pressure. The menu bar text will be colorized in orange if the pressure is not nominal.
A graph view for all sensors may also be displayed on Apple Silicon.
