Which battery app
fits your devices?

We recommend AllMyBatteries if you want a battery list you can check anywhere and keep expanding. It syncs your list through iCloud to iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Custom devices and Shortcuts bring more batteries into that list, while notifications help you plan charging. We recommend this combination for everyday use with multiple devices; it does not cover every battery-related task.

Choose at a glance

Battery apps solve different problems. Some tell you which devices need charging, some make AirPods connections and controls easier, and others focus on Mac battery health and charge limits. Start with your needs, then compare the tools.

Prices checked on November 4, 2026. US$ means US dollars. Paid prices are from direct website purchases or the US App Store. Regional pricing, promotions and checkout taxes may change the amount you pay.

Scroll the table horizontally. Device coverage lists the main types documented publicly. Automatic collection for a particular model still depends on connections, permissions and product editions. Custom entries use readings you supply manually or through Shortcuts. Nearby discovery, local-network collection and iCloud sync are different capabilities. Missing public documentation does not mean a feature is unsupported.

Why multi-device users choose AllMyBatteries

02 · Custom devices + Shortcuts extend the list to almost any device type

Manual entry works too

Almost any battery-powered device can be added as a custom entry. Cameras, game consoles or electric cars can be listed even without built-in automatic collection. Record their levels manually and set scheduled charging reminders.

If you can obtain a reading through Shortcuts, a device API or another service accessible to Shortcuts, you can also update those entries with the result. For an electric car with an accessible battery API, for example:

1. Add a custom device in AllMyBatteries.
2. Get its battery percentage through Shortcuts.
3. Pass the result to AllMyBatteries' “Manually modify device battery level” action, and configure a Shortcuts automation if needed.

The device then joins your list, syncs through iCloud and appears in your chosen widgets. If you have a way to get a battery reading, you may be able to connect it to AllMyBatteries without waiting for built-in support.

Extensibility means adding entries and connecting data you provide. Custom devices do not read their own batteries automatically; automation depends on the source, permissions and execution conditions. Android Helper must run on the same Wi-Fi as the collecting device. Device types and connection requirements.

04 · Five notification types turn the list into charging reminders

You do not need to keep opening the list to check every device. AllMyBatteries lets you configure reminders per device:

Alerts for each device

AllMyBatteriesLow battery

AirPods · 20%

AllMyBatteriesCharging target

iPhone · 80%

Low batteryCharging targetScheduled reminderNot charged in a whileNot updated in a while

• Low battery: Set a threshold, such as 20% for headphones, to spot devices that need charging before leaving home.
• Charge target reached: For devices with a readable charging state, get a reminder at a level such as 80% or 100%.
• Scheduled: Choose a time and optionally repeat it. A weekly camera charging reminder also works for custom devices without automatic readings.
• Long time without charging: Use the device's charging history to notice batteries left unused for a long time. Charging state must be detectable.
• Long time without updates: Get a reminder when a reading has not updated for a long time, so an old value is easier to spot.

Create separate low-battery and charge-target reminders, or turn off a particular reminder on a particular receiving device. This makes the list useful for everyday charging management as well as checking percentages.

Battery-condition alerts require recent readings; charging alerts also require a detectable charging state. An 80% reminder can arrive later if the next background reading is not received until 85%. A Shortcuts “Force sync” automation may improve update opportunities. Notifications do not stop hardware from charging. Charging notification requirements and setup tips.

Ultimate also offers battery history and device sharing. Review collected battery changes or share selected devices with family and friends. Battery history is not a diagnosis of health, cycle count or actual capacity.

05 · Beautiful design and more customization options

The free version supports 3 devices; Ultimate unlocks unlimited devices, battery history, sharing and more. Individual / Family plans and actual local prices are shown in your App Store and in-app purchase screen.

Know the limitations before choosing

• Updates can be delayed. iOS / iPadOS schedule background execution and widget refreshes. AllMyBatteries cannot promise continuous real-time background updates; check the reading's update time. Widget updates.
• Devices must supply readable information. Not every Bluetooth device exposes battery data. AirPods cases usually need to be opened, and collection conditions vary by model and Mac utility. AirPods guide.
• Reminders do not control charging. Alerts depend on received battery levels and charging state. They cannot stop hardware charging or trigger immediately without a new reading.
• Syncing and connections have requirements. Enable iCloud on the relevant Apple devices. HomeKit requires permission and available battery information. Android Helper requires the same Wi-Fi and background execution. Custom entries use readings you supply manually or through Shortcuts.
