Juicy - Mac Battery App

Overview

Juicy is a macOS menu bar utility designed to replace default macOS battery warnings with fully customizable alerts. It allows users to set notification thresholds at any percentage level with screen glow effects, custom sounds, and persistent banners. Beyond alerts, Juicy provides charge limiting, real-time power flow diagrams, per-app energy insights, and battery health tracking for connected Bluetooth devices.

What it does

• • Replaces default macOS battery warnings with custom threshold alerts, screen glow, and distinct audio cues
• • Enforces charge limiting between 50% and 100% to prolong long-term MacBook battery health
• • Monitors connected peripherals like AirPods, Magic Mouse, iPhone, and iPad batteries from one menu bar dropdown
• • Displays live power flow metrics, per-app energy consumption history, and diagnostic battery health reports.

Who it's for

• MacBook Users
• Remote Workers & Digital Nomads
• Content Creators & Streamers
• Power Users

Why it works

• Replaces multiple separate Mac utilities like AlDente and coconutBattery with a single native Swift app
• Offers one-time pricing with perpetual licenses rather than forcing continuous recurring subscriptions
• Processes all battery and energy consumption data locally on device with zero cloud telemetry or tracking
• Runs with less than 0.1% CPU consumption optimized specifically for Apple Silicon hardware.

Founder story

Juicy was created in 2026 by indie developer Dominik Sobe (founder of HelpKit) through Seven Degrees Labs LLC. After repeatedly losing work when his MacBook died suddenly due to easily ignored stock macOS battery warnings, Sobe built Juicy as a native Swift utility to provide unmissable custom alerts and comprehensive battery health tracking.

Alternatives

• AlDente
• coconutBattery
• AirBuddy
• Battery Indicator

Comparison overview

• Juicy combines charge limiting, custom alert thresholds, screen glow, and multi-device battery monitoring into a single native Swift app.
• Traditional utilities like AlDente focus primarily on charge thresholds or hardware stats alone, requiring users to install and manage separate applications.
