Battery Beggar is a menu bar app that gives your MacBook's battery a voice.
It monitors your charge and reacts with personality-driven commentary at key thresholds — 50%, 25%, 15%, 10%, and 5%. Plug in the charger and it notices. Unplug at a bad time and it has thoughts.
Choose from five personality packs:
- Anxious — spiraling, catastrophizing, asking if you have a plan
- Default Dramatic — theatrical, dry, and opinionated
- Matter of Fact — just the numbers, no nonsense
- Passive Aggressive — polite on the surface, clearly annoyed underneath
- Stoic — Marcus Aurelius energy for your battery life
Reactions appear as text in the popover, system notifications, or spoken aloud — your choice.
Battery Beggar also works as a clean, lightweight battery utility with no personality required. See your charge, power state, and time remaining from the menu bar.
No account. No data collection. No internet connection. Everything stays on your Mac.
Designed for MacBook. Requires macOS 13 or later.
