APPS WE LOVE

Cloud Battery

See battery levels for all your Apple devices in one place.

Can’t remember the last time you charged your iPad and Apple Pencil? Cloud Battery shows the levels of all your Apple devices and notifies you when it’s time to plug them in.

What we love: Download Cloud Battery on every iPhone, iPad, or Mac connected to your iCloud account to see, from any of those devices, the battery level of each. You can also check the level of any paired Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Pencil, Magic Trackpad, or Magic Keyboard.

Tweak colours (and the app’s incredibly handy widget) in the Settings menu (left); view the status of all your Apple devices.

Quick tip: Set up notifications to be alerted when a device’s battery dips below a certain level. Got a pair of AirPods? Tap to see the battery level of both left and right.
