App Tamer tames applications that are chewing up excessive CPU time and battery life on your Mac. Its unique "AutoStop" feature will stop an application when you switch away from it, and then automatically restart it when you click back to it.

Some applications, like web browsers and older apps, continue running tasks or animating ads even when they're idle. That uses valuable CPU time. Find the culprits and get them under control.

With App Tamer, you simply do this:

•Launch App Tamer and click on Details
•Sort your running applications by average CPU usage
•Click the checkbox next to apps that need to be tamed
•Save battery and CPU time

Limitations: 15-day trial.
