Description
Apple Vision Pro owners - stop messing up your hair to check your AVP battery level! Get this app to check your AVP's battery level from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Battery Monitor allows you to easily check the battery levels of your visionOS, iPadOS, and iOS devices from your other Apple devices. AVP owners understand the frustration of needing to put on their AVP to check its battery level. Install Vision Pro Battery Monitor and stop messing up your hair!
Battery levels are shared automatically between all devices in your iCloud account where the app is installed. Simply install and launch the app a device in your iCloud and its battery information will show up on other devices where the app is installed. The app currently supports the following platforms:
- visionOS
- iOS
- iPadOS
- macOS
- (watchOS support coming soon!)
The app also provides a variety of Home Screen widgets to see battery levels at a glance without needing to launch the app. (more widget styles coming soon!)
Please note that due to privacy reasons, Apple only provides battery levels in 5% increments, so the app will always display battery levels rounded to the nearest 5%. Battery information is typically updated every 10 minutes, but can sometimes be up to 30 minutes stale due to device power considerations. We don’t want the app monitoring your battery to drain your battery!
What’s New
Version 1.5
The app now shares real device names across devices. See you later, generic "Apple Vision Pro" and "iPhone" names!
Ratings and Reviews
Nice but some suggestions…
Nice app but may I suggest rethinking where you put the last updated dates? Looking from my iPad, you’ve got a date/time displayed immediately below the Vision Pro on the initial device list view which seems to imply how recent the status is but that of course isn’t true. That’s when the app was launched and last looked. Devices like the Vision Pro that aren’t available are or course out-of-date.
There is that icon on the device entry to indicate that the status is old and you can click through to see when the device status was last updated but may I suggest that you put this date/time on the front view for each device? And I would move the date/time that the app last looked up or down into a corner, away from the device list.
Lastly, I suggest changing or at least providing an option to display the date/time has “human readable” time elapsed (as it’s sometimes referred to). In other words, show “now”, “a few minutes ago”, “three hours ago”, “two days ago”, etc. instead. Much easier to interpret quickly than a full date/timestamp.
Cheers!

Suggestions
Need ability to rename device (eg it’s just iPhone or IPad), on MacOS battery status is not shown
Developer Response ,
Hey DavinciHDR - thanks for the feedback! The app will display actual device names in a future release, we're just waiting on the entitlement approval from Apple.
We also noticed issues recently with the display of macOS battery levels. We'll get that fixed ASAP.
