Battery
Honest battery health, read straight from the hardware.
A dashboard of what your battery is actually doing: charge, health, cycles, temperature, and power flow — plus a quick-glance popover in the menu bar, an optional keep-awake timer, and charge alerts.
Interactive illustration with sample values.
What it does
- Charge level, charging state, power source, and time remaining
- Design capacity versus current maximum capacity, cycle count, and condition
- Live voltage, amperage, and wattage
- Battery temperature
- Power adapter details
- Menu bar popover for a quick look
- Keep awake for a chosen duration, released when it ends, when you quit, or when you turn the module off
- Alerts when the charge reaches levels you choose
- Access
- Opt-in actions
- Where you find it
- Own windowMenu bar
- Permissions
- None to read the battery. Notifications only if you turn on charge alerts. Desktop Macs simply show that no battery is present.
Deliberate limits
- Keep awake and charge alerts are off until you turn them on, and neither changes how the battery charges.
- Charge limits are not available yet; they stay research-gated and off by default.
- Never asks you to disable System Integrity Protection.
Private beta
Help shape a calmer way to look after your Mac.
A small group of testers is using MacUtilityHub before its public release. See what the beta includes and what it needs to run.
