## Installation and Usage ### System Requirements: - macOS 11.0 and Later ### Installation: Download the latest installation file [here](../../releases/latest) or install via Homebrew: ```bash brew install lihaoyun6/tap/airbattery ``` ### Usage: - After AirBattery is started, it will be displayed on both the Dock and the status bar by default, or only one of them (can be configured) - AirBattery will automatically search for all devices supported by the **"Nearbility Engine"** without manual configuration. - Click the Dock icon / status bar icon, or add a widget to view the battery usage of your devices. - You can also use the **"Nearcast"** feature to check the battery usage of other Macs and their peripherals in the LAN at any time. - You can also change the status bar icon to a real-time battery icon in preferences, just like the one that comes with the system. - If necessary, you can hide certain devices in the Dock menu or status bar menu, and unhide them at any time. ## Q&A **1. Why is my iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch not showing up?** > Please make sure the iPhone / iPad has trusted this Mac ***(and connected the Mac with a data cable at least once while AirBattery is running to pair)***. Then just make sure it is on the same LAN as the Mac. **2. Does my Apple Watch need to be pre-connected?** > No, when AirBattery detects a paired iPhone via WiFi or USB, it will automatically read the battery data of the Apple Watch paired with it **(iPhone discovered via Bluetooth does not support reading the watch battery!)** **3. Why do some device name have a ⚠️ symbol?** > If this symbol appears, it means that the device has not updated its battery information for more than ten minutes, and may be offline or turned off. **4. My iPhone is not connected to WiFi, can I get the battery info?** > Please install AirBattery v1.1.2 or higher, enable the **`iPhone / iPad(Cellular) over BT`** in the preferences, and keep the device's Bluetooth turned on ***(Only supports iPhone or cellular iPad!)*** **5. Why does AirBattery need Bluetooth permission?** > AirBattery needs Bluetooth to capture packets from peripheral devices in order to parse their battery information. ## Donate ## Thanks [libimobiledevice](https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice) @libimobiledevice > AirBattery uses executable files and runtime libraries compiled from libimobiledevice based on version `73b6fd1`.
