App Tamer 2.1 makes El Capitan cooler, quieter and more power efficient - Published on 10/08/15

St. Clair Software delivers an update today for App Tamer, its Macintosh utility that manages applications to deliver more efficient CPU usage, increased battery life and quieter operation. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This version delivers compatibility with El Capitan and improves support for a number of applications.

Denver, Colorado - St. Clair Software today is pleased to announce the availability of a free update to its App Tamer utility for Mac OS X. App Tamer 2.1 delivers compatibility with Yosemite and improves its support for a number of applications. Changes include:

* Compatible with El Capitan
* Updated support for NetNewsWire, the App Store app, Go for Facebook, Leaf, Reeder and Fluid browsers
* Improved "Show in Finder" so that it works with system daemons and other non-application processes
* Refined the logic that detects when App Tamer is having trouble monitoring Chrome's download activity
* The AppleScript command for turning autostop on and off now returns the old setting as its result

More about App Tamer:
Some Mac applications, especially web browsers, continue running tasks or animations even when they're supposed to be idle in the background. This can consume valuable processing power, reducing battery life and producing heat that increases fan noise. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses these applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This frees your CPU and reduces power consumption.

App Tamer comes pre-configured to automatically manage Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Spotlight, Time Machine, Word and many other apps when they're in the background. And customizing it for other applications is just a mouse click away.

Pricing and Availability:
App Tamer will operate on any Macintosh running Mac OS X version 10.7 or higher. You can try App Tamer free for 15 days. A license to continue using it after the trial period is $14.95 (USD). If you bought App Tamer 2.0 this update is free. If you purchased App Tamer 1.x after July 1, 2013 the update is also free. If you purchased your license before that date you can upgrade for $7.95 (USD).
