Battery Remaining For Mac

Starting with macOS Sierra 10.12.2, Apple removed the "time remaining" estimate indicator from the Macbook menu bar. The primary reason for this change was that the estimate often proved to be wildly inaccurate; the new Intel processors the laptops were equipped with switched between low and high-frequency modes very often, making it difficult to calculate an estimate.

Nevertheless, many Macbook users feel that the lack of a battery time indicator is a big issue, as it's difficult to figure out how long you can keep using your laptop based on the battery percentage alone. While it is sometimes inaccurate, it is still useful if you perform similar tasks every day.

Battery Remaining, true to its name, brings back the battery time indicator. It is displayed in the menu bar at all times, without you having to click anything. There is nothing to configure, as you simply have to launch the app to view the timer and close it for the indicator to go away.

Quite a few of these applications have been created following Apple's decision to remove the indicator, which means you have lots of other options. Battery Remaining is intended for users who want something lightweight that doesn't require configuration.
