Battery Medic 1.2 is available. Requires macOS 12 or later; battery readings need a MacBook with a built-in battery. Supports Apple silicon and Intel. Get Battery Medic ↗.
Know your battery better.
- Open Battery Medic. First launch shows the battery panel; later, click its menu-bar icon or reopen it from Finder.
- Check charge, power source, cycle count and available capacity estimates.
- Choose Battery details to expand available capacity, voltage and power readings. Choose Refresh for a fresh reading.
Capacity is a battery-reported estimate, not a diagnosis. Readings vary by Mac and macOS. Missing information is omitted or marked unavailable. Battery Medic does not repair batteries, restore capacity or set charge limits.
Choose your menu-bar information
Open Settings using the gear. Choose Show battery percentage or Show time estimate. Time appears only when macOS supplies an estimate; external power may show AC and missing estimates may show a dash.
Set optional battery alerts
- In Settings, choose Allow notifications and approve macOS permission.
- Set a low-battery or charged-to threshold.
- Keep Battery Medic running. Low alerts require battery power; charged-to alerts require external power.
- Use Send test alert to check your configuration. macOS notification settings and Focus can affect presentation.
