Battery DNA — your Mac’s power profile

A small menu bar companion for charge state, cycle context, and the story your battery tells over time. Part of our Crazy apps line — playful utilities, not enterprise fleet tooling.

What you get

Battery DNA keeps the essentials visible without opening System Settings — ideal when you’re debugging drain, travel days, or just curious how your pack is aging.

Menu bar pulse

Percentage, charging state, and quick cues stay in the tray — same Nigents dark aesthetic as our other Crazy apps.

Health & cycles

Surface maximum capacity and cycle count in plain language so “is this normal?” has a faster answer.

Experimental

Built for makers and curious users. Not a replacement for Apple diagnostics or service — just a clearer daily lens.

Install

Open the disk image, drag Battery DNA.app into Applications, then eject the volume.

  • If Gatekeeper blocks the download: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open anyway.
  • If needed: xattr -cr ~/Downloads/BatteryDNA-1.0.0.dmg then open again.
  • Rebuild locally with your MacAppsBundle packaging script after changes.
