Launched this week
Juicy replaces Apple's basic battery warnings with beautiful custom alerts at any percentage, complete with screen glow and sounds you can't miss. It also packs charge limiting, per-app energy insights, iPhone and iPad battery health, temperature tracking, and a themeable menu bar icon. One lightweight native Swift app instead of stacking AlDente, coconutBattery, and AirBuddy. Pay once, own forever. Featured twice by Apple as "Apps We Love".

@sobedominik Congrats on a new lauch Dom!
The landing page looks amazing like always :)
Movydick: And The Oscar Goes To...
Very good idea + very good execution. If only I had a Mac lol Does it also deal with unused applications still running in the background that might impact battery life?

@amineaouraghone it does actually! Juicy has a way to analyze each app on your Mac and flag the ones that are acting up.
The "impossible to ignore" framing is the part I like, and it's worth naming why it works: most apps fighting to interrupt you are serving themselves, but a battery alert interrupts you for your own goal — not losing work — so the aggression is aligned instead of extractive. That's a different category from a nag, and it's why the 10%/5% system alerts fail: not urgent enough at the moment that actually matters to you. My real question is the charge-limit side. Third-party charge limiting on the Mac has historically meant going below the public API (SMC-level), which is exactly the thing that breaks on an OS point-release or behaves differently across Apple Silicon generations. Is Juicy using something Apple now exposes officially, or maintaining the lower-level path — and how much of your support load is "it stopped limiting after I updated macOS"?
Replaced my usual stack of AlDente and coconutBattery with Juicy this week and the custom alerts at 50% actually feel polished instead of janky, plus the per-app energy insights showed me a Chrome tab was secretly murdering my battery.

@kamile1170180 🙏 happy to hear Kamile! :)
Love that the alerts use screen glow instead of just a banner, makes the 20% warning feel intentional rather than punishing. Nice move bundling all those tools into one native Swift app instead of the usual stack of utilities.

@aynur1896015 appreciate it Aynur
I think this is a great product! Dominik has been responsive to questions and issues that have come up when going to the beta version of new Mac OS. He has been helpful in pointing me in the right direction. The product is comprehensive and well laid out, and it works! That's the big thing! I will certainly recommend this to all the people I know using Apple products. Juicy gets my vote for Product Hunt.
