Battistics Remote for iPhone
Battistics Remote shows the battery of each Mac on your Apple Account: charge and its last day, time left, power, health and temperature, the connection, the lid and the busiest apps and accessory batteries on request. It starts, extends and stops Keep Awake, including with the lid closed, and changes Low Power Mode.
Battistics Remote is free on the App Store.
Setting up
Section titled “Setting up”- Install Battistics on the Mac.
- In Battistics, open iPhone and turn on Show this Mac in Battistics Remote.
- Sign in to iCloud on the iPhone and the Mac with the same Apple Account.
There is nothing to pair. The Mac and the iPhone talk through your private iCloud database, with readings and commands encrypted, no server and no open port. Closed-lid sessions from the iPhone are allowed only if you turn that on in the same pane.
