With the app I was able to quickly tell that my battery was actually doing really well considering its age, and it was hitting about 80% of its designed capacity. I first came across coconutBattery a few years ago after discovering that my 2010 MacBook Pro’s battery was potentially dying, I figured a third-party app to easily keep tabs on the cycle count would be a good idea. With the battery menu bar option, iStat Menus provides seven different styles to pick from, (I’ve stuck with the default). Once installed, iStat Menus will add different icons to your menu bar, all of which can be enabled and disabled at will. What we care about today with iStat Menus is the ability to see detailed info on your battery’s current state. Want to watch your memory and memory usage live? You can do that with iStat Menus. The app allows users to add different bars and graphs to their menu bar to help keep an eye on different services and components. IStat Menus has long been a staple in a pro user’s OS customization toolkit.
Let’s take a look at some alternative third-party apps that can bring this feature back and make you feel back at home in your own system. A feature long used by macOS customers all around, the removal of the time remaining may line up with the iOS battery experience but it will leave some users a bit frustrated.
