Questions
Is there a free trial?
No. BatteryBud needs a license to run, and this page shows what it does. If it doesn't work on your Mac, email us within 14 days. We'll fix it or refund you.
Which devices does it show?
This Mac and your other Macs, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, AirPods and Beats (each bud and the case), and Bluetooth keyboards, mice and trackpads connected to your Mac. An Apple Watch shows through its iPhone, once that iPhone is added.
How does it read my iPhone or iPad?
Connect it to your Mac with a cable once, tap Trust, and turn on "Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi" in Finder. After that you don't need the cable. A locked iPhone that isn't charging can drop off Wi-Fi, and BatteryBud then shows the last level and when it last saw the device.
Does it track battery health?
Yes, for Macs, iPhones and iPads. BatteryBud records maximum capacity and charge cycles and charts them over time, and you can set an alert for when capacity drops below a level you pick. Accessories like AirPods and keyboards don't report health.
What about AirPods connected to my iPhone?
Connected to your Mac, AirPods report exact levels. Connected to something else, or in their closed case, BatteryBud picks up their Bluetooth broadcasts while they are near your Mac. Most carry exact levels too, and the rest come in 10% steps.
What happens after the year of updates?
BatteryBud keeps working. Every version released during your year is yours to use for good. If you want newer versions, a renewal adds another year for $9, or the price in your currency. It starts when your current year ends, so renewing early costs you nothing.
How many Macs can I use it on?
One Mac at a time. Deactivate it in Settings or the customer portal, and you can move the license to another Mac as often as you like.
Why isn't BatteryBud on the Mac App Store?
Reading an iPhone or iPad needs access that the App Store doesn't allow. BatteryBud is signed with an Apple Developer ID, notarized by Apple, and updates itself.
Does my battery data leave my Mac?
No. Levels, history and health stay on your Mac. If you sync Macs, they talk to each other directly over your local network, encrypted with your sync code. The privacy page lists everything the app sends.
