Alternatives

Looking for a different battery app?

How Dotwatt compares with the apps people switch from, including when they are the better choice.

  • A lower-priced AlDente Pro alternative

    AlDente Pro is the deepest charge limiter for MacBooks, at $24.99 or $13.99 a year. Dotwatt uses the charge limit built into macOS and adds measured time left and awake-for-agents, for one small payment.

  • A coconutBattery alternative that acts on what it shows

    coconutBattery reads the battery's health in your Mac, iPhone and iPad. Dotwatt reads the Mac's battery too, then limits the charge, switches Low Power and names the apps spending it.

    Compare
  • An iStat Menus alternative focused on the battery

    iStat Menus monitors the whole Mac: CPU, memory, disks, network, sensors, weather. Dotwatt does one thing, the battery, and adds a charge limit, per-app energy and staying awake.

    Compare
  • A Lungo alternative that knows when to stop

    Lungo keeps the Mac awake for a set time or until you switch it off. Dotwatt can keep it awake only while your coding agents or an app are working, then lets it sleep.
