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".
I like the focus on staying native, lightweight, and local instead of adding another resource-heavy background app. Has building Juicy uncovered any surprising patterns in how different Mac models or Apple Silicon generations age from a battery health perspective? Congrats on the launch! 🔋
So sick and tired of my MacBook Air shutting down when I don't see the low-battery warning on the built-in screen because I'm working on a larger, external display. The screen glow, larger notification, and sound from Juicy now make sure this never happens again. Incredible attention to detail, Dominik!
@mrtoner thank you Don!!!
Respect for keeping it native Swift instead of Electron. A battery monitor that eats 200MB of RAM just to tell you your battery's low would be a little embarrassing haha
Finally a battery app that doesn't feel like a workaround. The custom alerts at 50% saved me from a dead phone on a hike, and I love seeing the energy hog culprit apps right in the menu bar.
I would like to inform you that I really liked the app!!! I have used some apps like this before, I paid for them and now I switched to yours. I come here just to suggest a "polishing" on the Menu Bar icon, it is using a space that I think is unnecessary for the size of the icon... It leaves a lot of space on the sides.
Stopping by to leave some more feedback... The connected devices have to be reviewed because my MX Master 4 moude has 45% battery (both in settings, logitech options and airbuddy) and in Juicy it has 34%. Another thing that happened is that a device called 69n_ble appeared with 90% battery (and it looked like it was still being charged...) and I have no idea what it is! I was like “what the fuck is this?”, after a while it disappeared.
appreciate Nim! yeah luckily they have not done it (yet) hehe more space for Juicy to grow!
