Quiet battery carefor your MacBook.

静かに見守り、無理なく長持ち。

Your MacBook battery wears down a little with every full charge. Battery Sensei watches the details: warns before shutdown, holds a healthier charge limit, and shows which apps drain power, how cycles add up, and whether capacity is aging normally.

Lives in your menu bar. Speaks only when it matters.

What it does

Everything your MacBook battery needs.Nothing noisy.

静かな警告

Low-battery alerts, your way.Zen, regular, or hard to miss.

macOS shows a percentage. Sensei reads what that number means, so you get the right nudge before your MacBook dies. Use the three presets, or set your own thresholds and dismiss times.

Charge limitwith Travel Mode

Charge limit80%

Travel Mode tops up to 100% just for the trip

Lithium-ion batteries age faster when they sit at 100%. Pick a cap (80% is the gentle default); Sensei holds it in the background. Flying tomorrow? One tap tops up to 100%, then your cap returns after the trip.

A calm line for every charge. See your daily rhythm, spot unusual dips, and understand battery behavior at a glance.

Charging that yields to heat

When the battery passes your chosen temperature, Sensei pauses charging until it cools — less heat each cycle, so your capacity lasts longer.
