The Last 5% is an iPhone app that automatically sends your current location and a custom message to a chosen contact when your battery drops to 5%. It’s designed for those everyday moments when your phone is about to die before you can send one last update like “I’m here” or “My battery is dying.” Simple, lightweight, and now available in English for global users.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 The Last 5% came from a very unglamorous habit of mine: being way too optimistic about my phone battery. I’ve gone out thinking “8% should probably be fine,” and then ended up with a dead phone before I could send a quick update or tell someone where I was. It’s not a huge life problem. Just a small, surprisingly annoying one that kept happening. So I made The Last 5% — an iPhone app that automatically sends your location and a custom message to a chosen contact when your battery hits 5%. It started as a Japanese-only app, and I recently added English support and made it free so more people can use it. I’m not a traditional engineer, so I built this with a lot of help from AI. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
