Battery Autopilot

MiniWatts is an iPhone battery, charging, and thermal monitor built with Apple's private iOS APIs. It reads the phone's power-management sensors to show charger input, power reaching the battery cell, heat-related power, temperature sensors, and USB Power Delivery information, with Power, Thermal, Adapter, and History views. It also provides Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a charging Live Activity, and a floating Picture-in-Picture meter that can keep recording while another app is open or the screen is locked. MiniWatts is distributed as a sideloaded IPA because its private API usage prevents App Store distribution. It requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later, includes no network code, and can be installed using tools such as Sideloadly, AltStore, SideStore, or Xcode. Sensor availability and meanings vary by iPhone model; wireless charging input current, battery health, and cycle count are unavailable, while discharge power and charging holds may be estimated or inferred. The project is licensed under Apache 2.0.

MacTap is a macOS menu-bar app that turns one, two, or three knocks on a compatible MacBook chassis or the desk beneath it into keyboard shortcuts and other mapped actions. It supports left- and right-edge layouts, configurable sensitivity and actions, presets such as Daily, Coding, Capture, Media, and Focus, and per-application overrides. Tap classification runs on-device, with gesture mappings stored locally and nothing uploaded. It requires macOS 14.6 or later and a MacBook whose motion sensor is exposed as an SPU HID device, including M2-and-later models and M1 Pro, Max, or Ultra systems; some M1 models, including the original M1 Air, are unsupported. The app requires Accessibility permission for actions to send shortcuts, is distributed as a signed and notarized macOS app, and is licensed under the MIT license.

Status Trio is a native macOS app that combines Wi-Fi, battery, and volume information into one configurable status icon shown in the menu bar, the Dock, or both. Its popover reports Wi-Fi signal and network state, battery percentage and charging or Low Power Mode status, and volume level or mute state; controls are available from the icon. The app supports configurable icon sizes, connection-state rendering, language selection, launch at login, and event-driven monitoring with a low-frequency polling fallback. It is built with Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit for macOS 15 or later. It reads status through public macOS frameworks, does not use App Sandbox or require a network entitlement, and includes no telemetry or analytics; location access is optional and requested only for displaying the current Wi-Fi network name. It can be built from source or installed from an official GitHub release; the project is licensed under Apache License 2.0 and maintained by lingyired.

System Data Unpacked is a macOS menu bar and windowed app that inventories the contents of macOS System Data and lets users review or delete items individually. It uses category-specific storage probes to measure simulator runtimes and devices, Xcode data, package-manager stores, developer tools, logs, virtual machines, Docker data, snapshots, application data, project build folders, and other large folders; a final catch-all probe reports large paths not claimed by another category. Each result includes its measured size, category, safety level, and available reclaim action. Safe items can be deleted, review items are moved to the Trash first, and manual items show the relevant command or settings path. Before deletion, the app displays the exact operations and can batch compatible root actions through macOS authorization prompts. It records scan and deletion history locally, provides filtering, age and growth information, optional low-space and growth notifications, a JSON command-line inventory, and an opt-in weekly automatic cleanup for Safe items. The app makes no network requests except an optional daily GitHub update check, requires macOS 14 or later, and is distributed as a signed and notarized macOS app or through Homebrew. Current versions are proprietary; versions through 0.3.7 remain MIT-licensed.

omarchy-pods is an Omarchy bar panel and bundled Linux daemon for AirPods. The daemon handles Apple’s AirPods protocol and publishes device state, while the panel displays per-pod and case battery levels, charging and in-ear status, supported listening modes, adaptive noise level, Conversation Awareness, One-Bud ANC, ear detection, and case-lid state when available. It selects the displayed controls from the capabilities reported by the connected device, supports AirPods earbuds and AirPods Max, and omits functions handled elsewhere in Omarchy, such as volume, audio-output selection, Bluetooth connection management, and input controls.
