CoconutBattery is the strange name of a very powerful MacOS app (sorry Windows users, no CoconutBattery for you) that displays live battery information for your Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Using this tool, you can quickly and easily find out the age of your devices and their batteries, how many times the battery has been recharged, current battery health and much more.
There are two versions of CoconutBatteryApp, a free version that gives you access to basic information, and a Plus version that costs €12.95 (about $14) that gives you in-depth information with advanced features such as the iOS Battery Lifetime Analyzer, gives. Viewers for iOS and macOS, Wi-Fi support (so the device doesn’t even need to be physically connected to the Mac to show you the current status), and more.
I highly recommend that you support the developer and get the Plus version. I’ve had the license for a few years now and am pleased with how regularly this app is updated.
