Which Macs does Juicy support?

Juicy works on MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac models running macOS 15.0 Sequoia or later. It supports Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs as well as Intel based Macs.

Can I set battery alerts at any percentage?

Yes. Alerts can be set from 1 to 100 percent, with no cap on the number of thresholds. Each alert can have its own sound and screen glow setting.

What does Juicy cost?

Juicy has a full featured 3 day free trial with no credit card required. The Pro License is $14.99 as a one time payment with one year of updates, and the Lifetime License is $24.99 with lifetime updates. Both paid licenses cover up to 2 Macs.

Is Juicy available through Setapp or the Mac App Store?

Yes. Juicy is available as a direct download, on Setapp, and on the Mac App Store. Direct and Setapp versions include advanced features that Apple's App Sandbox does not allow, such as auto-dismiss for default macOS battery alerts and direct Low Power Mode control.

Is battery data private?

Yes. Juicy processes battery data locally on the Mac with no cloud sync, so app energy data and device battery data stay on the device.

Does Juicy drain the battery it monitors?

Juicy is optimized for Apple Silicon and uses less than 0.1 percent CPU.

Juicy: Custom battery alerts and health stats for Mac

What is Juicy?

Juicy is a macOS menu bar battery app for MacBook users who want earlier warnings and more visibility than the stock battery icon gives them. It lets users set battery alerts at any percentage, add screen glow or sounds, cap charging between 50 and 100 percent, and inspect battery health, device levels, per-app energy use, and power flow. It runs on macOS 15.0 Sequoia or later, supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and offers a 3 day free trial with one time licenses.

Why Juicy works

macOS treats battery as a tiny percentage until it becomes an emergency, which is exactly when a call, cafe session, or demo has the least room for surprise. Juicy turns battery state into chosen alert thresholds, device health, charge caps, and live drain data in the menu bar, so the user gets a specific next move instead of a warning after the damage is already done.

Juicy features

Custom battery alerts. Users can add as many alert thresholds as they need from 1 to 100 percent, with screen glow and custom sounds per alert. Each alert fires once when the battery crosses its threshold, so it does not repeat like the stock macOS warning.
Charge limit and battery care. Charging can stop at any target from 50 to 100 percent, with 80 percent as the default for long term battery health. Sailing Mode, Heat Protection, Sleep Prevention, Automatic Discharge, and a one tap top up to 100 percent are built in.
All device batteries in the menu bar. AirPods, iPhone, iPad, Magic Mouse, Keyboard, Trackpad, and the Mac are ranked by battery level with color coded bars. Users can add low battery and fully charged alerts per device.
Per-app energy insights. The menu bar panel shows which apps are draining the Mac right now, with 24 hour, 7 day, and 30 day history plus callouts when an app starts using more energy than usual.
Live power flow. A live diagram shows watts moving between the adapter, battery, and Mac. It works with any adapter or USB-C or MagSafe cable, so users can spot a weak charger, cable, hub, or heavy load.
iPhone and iPad health reports. Plug in an iPhone or iPad over USB to see real health, cycle count, temperature, capacity in mAh, lifetime stats, and a one tap report export without installing an app on the device.

Who Juicy is for

MacBook users working from cafes with no outlet who need early alerts before their screen dies.
Founders and consultants giving client demos who want 25 and 15 percent warnings before a pitch goes black.
Desk based MacBook owners who stay plugged in all day and want a hard 80 percent ceiling instead of an automatic black box.
Apple device users carrying AirPods, iPhone, iPad, and Magic peripherals who want one menu bar view of every battery.
