Your Mac's charger wattage, live in the menu bar

Wacchi keeps two numbers in the menu bar: the watts your Mac is drawing from its charger right now, and below it the most that charger can give. It doesn't drop to 0W when you stop charging at 80%, because it reads what comes in to the whole Mac rather than into the battery. Open the menu to see the charger's name next to what it is actually giving, so a 96W charger stuck at 60W points you at the cable or the port. Records nothing. A free, open-source WattsConnected alternative.
Hi Product Hunt! Wacchi is a free, open-source take on WattsConnected: two numbers in the menu bar, the watts your Mac is drawing from the charger now and the most that charger can give. Handy for spotting a cable or port that holds a charger back. macOS 14+, Apple silicon, `brew install --cask piro0919/tap/wacchi`. Feedback welcome!
