thermalmonitordDisabler

November 22, 2024 ยท View on GitHub

A tool used to disable thermalmonitord to prevent throttling and screen dimming when iOS devices overheat. You can also disable OTA and UsageTrackingAgent with this.

Works on all versions from iOS 15.7 (possibly) to iOS 18.2 Beta 2. Thermal throttling may be unable to be completely disabled on A15+ devices.

Running the Program

Download the latest version from releases based on your system, and run thermalmonitordDisabler.app or thermalmonitordDisabler.exe.

To execute the code, follow these steps:

Requirements:

  • pymobiledevice3
  • Python 3.8 or newer

Note: It is highly recommended to use a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv .env # only needed once
# macOS/Linux:  source .env/bin/activate
# Windows:      ".env/Scripts/activate.bat"
pip3 install -r requirements.txt --ignore-requires-python # only needed once
python3 gui_app.py

Note: It may be either python/pip or python3/pip3 depending on your path. You need to have usbmux service running to run this on Linux.

Find My should be turned off to use this tool.

iPhone battery will be displayed as an unknown part/unverified in Settings after disabling thermalmonitord.
