Juicy

The battery app Apple should've built.

macOS battery alerts are predefined, ugly, and impossible to customize. You cannot choose when they fire, how they look, or what sound they play. They interrupt your flow with pop-ups you never asked for, and there is no built-in health tracking, temperature monitoring, or charge limiting. For anyone who actually cares about their battery, it is not good enough.

Juicy replaces all of it, and four other apps, with one beautiful, native menu bar app.

Custom Battery Alerts That Actually Work

Set alerts at any percentage you want: 3%, 5%, 15%, 20%, 80%, whatever fits your workflow. Each alert fires a native-style notification pill that slides out of the notch, a screen glow effect you physically cannot miss, and a custom sound. You will grab your charger. That is the point.

Juicy also auto-dismisses the default macOS battery pop-ups that interrupt your flow, so its alerts are the only ones you see.

Charge Limiting and Battery Care

Cap charging at any percentage to keep your battery in the healthy 50-80% range. Sailing Mode prevents micro-charging churn. Automatic Discharge brings the level back down to your limit while plugged in. Need a full charge before a flight? One tap in the menu bar overrides to 100%. Your MagSafe cable even turns green the moment Juicy holds at the limit.

Battery Health and Temperature Tracking

Real-time health percentage, cycle count, temperature warnings, voltage monitoring, and Apple service recommendations, all from the menu bar. No need to open System Information or install coconutBattery.

Per-App Energy Insights

See exactly which apps are draining your battery. A live snapshot of what is running now, plus 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day history with sparklines. Smart callouts flag when an app misbehaves so you can quit it before your battery tanks.

Multi-Device Battery Tracking

AirPods, iPhone, iPad, Magic Mouse, Keyboard, Trackpad, and your Mac, all ranked by battery level with color-coded bars in a unified "Now Display." Per-device low-battery and fully-charged alerts so nothing dies mid-call or mid-presentation.

iPhone and iPad Battery Diagnostics

Plug in an iPhone or iPad (or connect over Wi-Fi with Pro) to see its real battery health, cycle count, temperature, and full lifetime stats right inside Juicy. No extra app required.

Power Flow Visualization

A live, animated diagram showing the watts flowing between your adapter, battery, and Mac in real time.

Themeable Menu Bar Icon

A compact iPhone-style battery icon with percentage inside, smart color coding, and themes. Saves space over the default macOS battery icon and looks better doing it.

One App Replaces Four

Juicy combines what AlDente (charge limiting), coconutBattery (health tracking), iStat Menus (system monitoring), and AirBuddy (device tracking) each do separately, in a single app that uses under 0.1% CPU.

Written entirely in native Swift. Optimized for Apple Silicon (M1 through M4). Compatible with Intel Macs. Privacy-first: all data stays local, no cloud syncing, no tracking. Not Electron.
