Battery health

Your battery, honestly.

macOS buries your battery's real condition three menus deep and rounds off the interesting parts. Pulse puts the whole story on one screen, with a verdict in plain English at the top.

The number Apple buries

Maximum capacity as a percentage of the battery's original design, next to the cycle count — the two numbers that actually determine whether a battery is healthy, aging, or due for service. Pulse reads them straight from the hardware and says which.

The live story

Current charge, time to full or empty, the adapter's real wattage, temperature and voltage. Useful when a Mac “won't charge” and the answer turns out to be a 5-watt phone brick.

History that means something

A charge-history chart built from per-minute samples shows the rhythm of your battery's life — the overnight drains, the all-day-on-power stretches — so changes stand out instead of hiding in the moment.

Under the hoodRead directly from the system's power management on device. History samples roll up locally; nothing leaves the Mac.

Get the verdict on your battery.
