Description

••• Bring back audible battery notifications to your Mac! •••

BattMan is a little application living entirely in your menu bar and monitoring the status of your battery and power.

BattMan will:

• Display a User Notification to inform you that the system switched from one power source to another (e.g. when going from power supply to battery).

• Display a User Notification to inform you that the battery is low. You can configure the thresholds for both remaining time and remaining percentage and the User Notification will be displayed for whichever comes first, giving you plenty of time to find the power supply, save your work or do a proper system shutdown.

• Use several different icons in the menu bar to indicate battery and charging states. With one quick glance of an eye you'll instantly know whether the battery is fully charged or at a low level, or if there's a power supply connected to your computer.

• Display, in a sub-menu, all information about the battery that the system provides, such as: battery health, current capacity, voltage, charging or draining current, battery temperature and more.

• All notifications can be accompanied by an audible alert. These can also be turned off whenever you need to.

• Provide you with a quick access menu to quickly disable or enable notifications or audible alerts, without the need to open BattMan Preferences window. Ideal for meetings and other cases where you want to avoid distractions.

• Save a history of your battery condition each day you're using it. Perfect for keeping an eye on how the battery performs!

NOTE: Although there's no reason for BattMan not to run on a desktop Mac, it's really only useful on portable computers.

Handy, Simple, and Provides Overlooked Functionality

For some reason Apple doesn't provide direct means to notify the user when wall power has been disconnected. That's unfortunate, since it's much more likely to happen accidentally than the opposite condition (how often is the power cable inadvertantly connected?), and more importantly, the lapse of mains power has more urgent consequences than the reverse. Until I found BattMan I used ControlPlane with a custom script to notify me on unplugging, but that's now no longer necessary since BattMan has an option to notify about both plugged-in and unplugged transitions. It also provides for notifying when discharging goes below a selected threshold, which is which I why I sought something like it. I wish it allowed for notifications above 30% capacity or 30 minutes - I would go for 50% - but it still provides basically what I need. Well crafted and the price is right, I happily recommend it!

Doesn’t open

Guess i should’ve expected that from an app that hasn’t been updated since 2015. Enjoy my $1

Developer Response ,

I'm sorry you're not happy with the application. Are you sure it doesn't open at all? It should display a small icon in the shape of the battery in your menu bar.

Could you provide more details: your OS version and the hardware you're running it on to the support email?

Also, if you're really not happy with the application - I understand. You can always request a refund from Apple.

Thanks!
