Juicy

What it does

Juicy replaces Apple's basic battery warnings with beautiful custom alerts at any percentage, complete with screen glow and sounds you can't miss. It also packs charge limiting, per-app energy insights, iPhone and iPad battery health, temperature tracking, and a themeable menu bar icon. One lightweight native Swift app instead of stacking AlDente, coconutBattery, and AirBuddy. Pay once, own forever. Featured twice by Apple as "Apps We Love".

Who it is for

Juicy is for Mac users who want more control over their battery experience—whether you're a remote worker hopping between cafes, a professional giving presentations, or anyone who wants to extend their MacBook's battery lifespan. It's also for users who want to monitor battery health across multiple Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Magic Mouse, Keyboard, Trackpad) from one menu bar app.

Why it matters

macOS only alerts you at 10% and 5%, and on macOS Tahoe it nags every minute. Juicy lets you set custom alerts at any level (e.g., 3%, 20%, 80%) with beautiful notifications and screen glow. It also provides battery health tracking, temperature warnings, lifecycle alerts, and charge limiting to protect battery lifespan. By consolidating features from multiple apps into one, Juicy saves you money and menu bar space.

Launch signal

Juicy launched on Product Hunt and was featured twice by Apple as "Apps We Love." It has thousands of users and positive reviews on the App Store. The app is built by indie developer Dominik Sobe and is available as a free 3-day trial with no credit card required, then a one-time purchase of $14.99 (Pro) or $24.99 (Lifetime).

Brand and naming

The name "Juicy" is playful and memorable, evoking the idea of getting the last bit of battery life. The brand positions itself as the battery app Apple should have built, with a focus on beautiful design and native macOS integration. The tagline "The Battery App Apple should've built" reinforces this positioning.
