Batteries
See your iPhone, iPad and AirPods battery on your Mac
Mac$8.99 once
The verdict
Your iPhone dies in your bag while you work, because nothing on the Mac tells you it is down to 8%. Batteries shows the charge of your iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Beats and other Bluetooth devices in the menu bar and a widget, and warns you when one runs low. iPhones and iPads need a one-time Finder setting and the same Wi-Fi network, and the widget refreshes only about once a minute.
Get it if
You carry an iPhone, iPad and AirPods and keep finding one of them flat.
Skip it if
You only care about AirPods, whose battery already shows in the Mac's Bluetooth menu.
What it helps you do
- Check your iPhone battery from the Mac
- Get alerts before AirPods die
- See every device's charge in one widget
- Track Bluetooth keyboards and mice too
