What it does ⚡

🔋

Menu bar battery monitor

Icon, percentage text, or both. Replaces Apple's built-in battery indicator with something that actually has a point of view.

🎭

Personality packs

Choose from dramatic, matter-of-fact, or other personality packs. Each threshold gets multiple unique lines so it never says the same thing twice.

📣

Notifications + voice

Get notified when thresholds hit. Turn on voice mode and your Mac will literally tell you how it feels. Out loud.

🔒

Fully local & private

No account. No data collection. No analytics. No server. Everything stays on your Mac. We don't even know you exist.

⏰

Launch at login

Set it and forget it. Battery Beggar starts quietly in your menu bar every time you boot up. No Dock icon, no fuss.

🎨

Or just a clean utility

Turn off personality entirely and Battery Beggar becomes a minimal, no-nonsense battery monitor. Your call.

The five stages of battery drain 🎥

Each threshold unlocks a new level of commentary.

50% "We are still fine. Let us not get reckless."
25% "This is where responsible adults notice outlets."
15% "I would like less courage and more electricity."
10% "Battery is low enough to become a personality trait."
5% "We are one bad decision away from silence."
😌
Power restored. I will remember this kindness.
