Battkeep — Battery Health Monitor
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install Battkeep?
Download Battkeep from the Mac App Store. After installation it appears in your Applications folder. Launch it and it will appear in your menu bar.
Why does Battkeep's health percentage differ from System Settings?
Both read the same battery. System Settings presents a rounded summary figure, while Battkeep shows the arithmetic to one decimal place, dividing the battery controller's current full-charge capacity by its design capacity and refreshing continuously. The two can land a point or two apart.
Does Battkeep work on a desktop Mac?
It runs, but there is nothing to monitor. The menu bar shows a placeholder and the popover reports that no battery is installed.
Does the charge history persist between launches?
No. History is kept in memory only and clears when the app quits. It fills back in as Battkeep runs.
Can Battkeep limit charging to protect the battery?
No. Battkeep is a monitor, not a charge controller. It reads and reports, and it never changes how your Mac charges.
Does Battkeep collect my data?
No. Battkeep makes no network connections and collects no personal data. The only value it stores is a small local counter that decides when to ask you for an App Store review, and that never leaves your Mac.
Is there a subscription?
No. Battkeep is free. There are no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or recurring fees.
How do I uninstall Battkeep?
Drag Battkeep from your Applications folder to the Trash. No extra cleanup is needed.
