Which app is draining your Mac, in watts and minutes saved

WattMate sits in the Mac menu bar and shows which app is draining the battery right now, in watts, and how many minutes you get back if you quit it. 2 minutes after you quit, it measures again and prints what really changed. Apple silicon, macOS 14+.

@vitalistar How do you work out the watts per app? Is it measured directly, or estimated from CPU and GPU use? Curious how close it gets on an M-series Mac
@dan_kondziela Thanks Dan! I measure the Mac's total from the battery and split it per app with the kernel's per-process energy counter (ri_energy_nj), not CPU %. Graphics has no per-process energy counter, so I divide that part by GPU time
showing minutes remaining makes way more sense to me than percentages👍 congrats on the launch!
@kseniya_starodubova1 Thanks! That's why I went with minutes
