Wattagio For Mac

Wattagio is a user-friendly and low-key macOS utility designed from the ground up with a single purpose in mind: to help you keep track of your Mac's battery health and monitor the amount of energy used by your apps.

With the help of Wattagio, you are able to get the most out of your computer's battery by radically reducing the power usage and thus the number of recharge cycles needed to keep your Mac up and going.

Once launched, Wattagio adds a status item to the menu bar which displays the battery's time until empty, current state of charge, temperature, cycle count, condition, and state of health.

From Wattagio's status bar menu you can also quickly toggle your Mac's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios on and off, as well as enable Airplane mode for drastically decreasing the computer's power consumption.

In this menu, you also get to see the current CPU system, user, and idle load, together with the apps which use the most significant energy amount.

Wattagio's Battery Health tab displays the percentage of the original capacity the battery still holds, as well as the number of charge cycles it has gone through, while at the same time being able to get exact numbers on the current charge, full charge capacity, and design capacity, among other interesting info.

When switching to the Energy tab, you are presented with a list of the top seven apps according to their energy consumption during the last 24 hours, 2 hours and since the last charge.

With the help of this information, you can decide what apps you should and what apps you shouldn't run while your Mac isn't connected to a power outlet.

It's also important to mention that Wattagio also comes with a feature designed to automatically quit applications that have been inactive for a preset amount of time, or only the ones you select within the app's preferences.

Even though it did a stellar job during the test period and we haven't found any bugs severe enough to report on, having the choice of also tracking the battery health of iOS devices connected to your Mac would make Wattagio even more powerful.

In a nutshell, if you care about the lifetime of your Mac's battery and you want to keep a close eye on its health, using Wattagio to monitor your apps' energy consumption can make a big difference in the amount of total usage time.
