UnPlugged

UnPlugged is a handy little app that really helps when you're using your MacBook or other mobile devices on the go. We all know how important battery life is, especially when you're out and about without a power source. You find yourself constantly checking the battery percentage and deciding what to do next. Luckily, there are plenty of apps in the App Store that can help you keep an eye on your battery life.

Why Choose UnPlugged?

This lightweight app is super versatile! It lets you know how much battery you have left and whether your charger is plugged in or not. It works with OS X’s Notification Center and Growl, which means you'll get alerts right when you need them. The best part? You can set how often you want to be notified.

Customizable Notifications

UnPlugged allows you to customize notifications for two different battery stages. For instance, if your battery drops from 0% to a user-defined value (like 50%), you can get alerts as frequently as every 1% to 25%. After reaching that value, say from 50% to 100%, it keeps notifying you too. This way, you're always in the loop about how much juice your device has left!

Alerts When You Need Them

The app also gives you options for notifications based on what your battery is doing—charging or discharging. If you'd like, it can even let you know when your battery is fully charged! This feature helps prevent overcharging and keeps your device healthy.

Smart Notification Management

If you're busy working on something specific, UnPlugged lets you turn off notifications while that app is running. You can tweak this setting along with everything else from the Preferences window under the Notification tab.

User-Friendly Features

This app also has a menu bar item for quick access to your current battery info and preferences. Plus, it can start up automatically when you log into your computer! Choose between using the app itself or going through Growl or Notification Center for notifications.

Your Battery’s Best Friend

In short, UnPlugged is a great tool for anyone who wants desktop alerts about their MacBook's battery status. If keeping track of your battery life sounds good to you, this app could be just what you're looking for!
