Why WhatWattage?

Our inspiration came from wanting to better understand our Mac's power usage and battery health. Many users want to optimize their device's battery life and understand their power consumption patterns, but macOS doesn't provide detailed power metrics in an easily accessible way.

WhatWattage fills this gap by providing comprehensive power monitoring right in your menu bar, helping you make informed decisions about your device usage and charging habits.

Privacy & Security

WhatWattage respects your privacy. The app does not collect any personal data or send information to external servers. All power monitoring happens locally on your device, ensuring your usage patterns remain private.
