Thermal Measure tells you exactly how hard your device is working, before it starts slowing down. Your phone quietly manages its own temperature in the background. When things heat up during gaming, charging, or heavy use, system begins throttling performance to protect the hardware. Thermal Measure surfaces that information clearly, so you always know what's going on. REAL-TIME MONITORING The main dashboard shows your device's current thermal state: Cool, Warm, Hot, or Critical, updated as frequently as every 5 seconds. Battery level and charging status are shown alongside, giving you the full picture at a glance. HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Unlock Thermal Measure Pro and put your thermal state right on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Five widget sizes available: small, medium, and three Lock Screen variants, so you can check in without ever opening the app. STAY AHEAD OF THROTTLING Enable notifications and get alerted the moment your device's thermal state escalates. No more wondering why your phone feels sluggish. You will know before it affects you.
