Hey Product Hunt! π I'm Tejas, the maker of Biryani Battery Reminder.
This started with a very personal problem: I kept leaving my laptop plugged in at 100% for hours, or letting it drain to nothing β both of which quietly kill a battery over time. The built-in Windows warnings are easy to ignore, so I wanted something that would actually make me want to look.
So I gave it a personality. A little cast of emoji characters nudge you to plug in when you're low, unplug when you're topped up, and it auto-switches to Power Saver when you're running dry, then restores your normal plan once you charge. There's also a battery-health tab that compares your current capacity to the original design capacity, so you can see how much your battery has actually aged.
It's 100% local, collects nothing, has no ads, and is fully open source (AGPL-3.0). Built for Windows 10 & 11.
I built this mostly for myself and figured others with the same bad habit might enjoy it too. Would love your feedback β especially on the notifications and what battery features you'd want next. And yes, more biryani puns are on the roadmap. ππ

The battery-health dashboard comparing design capacity to current capacity is such a thoughtful touch, most tools just tell you a percentage without context. Love that it stays fully local too.

@yunusp3tmΒ Yeah, that was what annoyed me too, I wanted to know how bad the degradation actually was, not just get a percentage. I made sure the app itself stayed small, minimal, and completely local, so it doesn't drain your battery just running it. And no ads, simply because I find them annoying myself. I'm so glad you found it useful! If you run into any issues or have suggestions for more features, do feel free to share, and if you know anyone else who'd enjoy it, feel free to spread the word. Thanks so much for trying it out! π

Finally a battery app that does not nag me with ads or upsells. The emoji alerts are weirdly charming and the health dashboard actually helped me realize my old laptop is holding way less charge than I thought. Genuinely useful little tool.

@barypkcΒ I'm so glad you liked it. I built it with that exact purpose in mind. And the "wait, my battery's actually that worn?" thing, I had the same reaction myself. If you run into any bugs or think of a feature you'd want, let me know, always looking to improve it. And if you know anyone else who'd find it useful, feel free to share it around ππ
