If you own multiple Apple devices like an iPhone, iPad, AirPods, or Apple Watch, in addition to your Mac, keeping track of the battery levels for each device can become a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, there’s a simple and convenient solution to monitor the battery of all your devices directly from your computer: AirBattery.
This cleverly designed tool integrates into the macOS menu bar and detects all Apple devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac, displaying their battery levels effortlessly.
Once the app is installed, a small battery icon will appear in the menu bar. By clicking on it, a dropdown list will show the real-time charge status of your iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch, and other devices, including their exact battery percentage.
In short, I found this tool very useful for quickly determining which device needs to be charged first.
The tool also allows you to:
- Display the battery percentage directly in the menu bar, next to the icon.
- Trigger an alert when a device reaches a critical battery level (20% by default).
- Show battery levels in the macOS Dock instead of the menu bar.
- Detect your devices via Bluetooth for cellular iPhones and iPads, even without Wi-Fi.
In brief, it’s perfect for never being caught off guard with a dead battery again!
