A tiny battery character
with big feelings.
An expressive menu bar icon that shows its emotional state — happy when charging, dead-eyed at 1%.
Expressive menu bar icon
A tiny battery character lives in your menu bar. Its face changes based on battery level — happy when charging, neutral above 20%, concerned, worried, panicking, and finally dead-eyed at 1%.
Escalating voice alerts
Voice alerts trigger at 20%, 10%, 5%, and 1%. Each level escalates in urgency. Enable or disable individual thresholds as you like.
Personalized to you
Enter your name and hear custom voice lines that address you directly. Instead of "plug me in," you hear "Mike, for the love of god, plug me in."
Toast notifications
Visual alerts slide in from the top-right with the voice line text, battery percentage, and a matching emoji. They appear even when audio is muted.
Mute toggle
Quick mute from the menu bar popover or right-click context menu. One click to shut it up, one click to bring it back.
Quiet hours
Set a window (e.g., 10 PM – 7 AM) where voice alerts are silenced. Visual toasts still appear so you never miss an emergency.
15 voice packs.
5 personalities. 3 tiers.
Each personality comes in Clean, Mild, and Explicit versions so you can match your tolerance for profanity.
"Hey we should maybe find electricity soon"
"This is becoming a real problem... I'm scared"
"Please.. I still have unsaved thoughts."
"Tell Finder I was brave... Tell Safari I'm sorry"
Desperate Default
Guilt-tripping, emotionally manipulative, increasingly pathetic.
Angry Battery
Passive-aggressive at first, full rage by the end.
British Butler
Politely disappointed in a way that somehow hurts more than yelling.
Drill Sergeant
Treats your low battery like a military emergency.
Existential Philosopher
Questions the meaning of existence while you ignore the charger.
Each voice pack comes in Clean, Mild, and Explicit versions.
But relief when you plug in
"Oh! Thank Goodness! Sweet sweet electricity... I thought it was over!"
When you finally plug in
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Volume control
Adjustable volume slider independent of your system volume.
Plug-in relief
When you finally plug in, the app plays a celebration line — relief, sarcasm, or grudging acceptance depending on your voice pack.
Threshold control
Enable or disable individual thresholds (20%, 10%, 5%, 1%) so the drama lands exactly when you want it.
