Sub-80% Precision Limits
Apple's native limiter stops at 80%. ThunderVolt Pro goes all the way down — Storage Mode locks at 50% for long-term shelf storage, or dial in any custom threshold from 20% to 100%.
  • 20–100% custom range — finer control than standard battery utilities
  • 50% Storage Mode — purpose-built for long-term shelf storage
  • Sailing band / Hysteresis buffer — eliminates charge cycling
  • Discharge to target % while plugged in — free tier
Remote Control from iPhone & Watch
Full charge management from your wrist or phone — limits, modes, Sailing band, discharge, and live power flow. Apple's limiter is Mac-only. ThunderVolt follows you everywhere.
  • Set charge limit (20–100%) from iPhone or Watch
  • Toggle Storage Mode, Apple Mode, Smart Context remotely
  • Sailing Mode control — switch band preset from your wrist
  • Trigger discharge to target % while Mac is plugged in
  • Live power flow — AC watts & battery charge/drain
  • Heat & calibration alerts pushed to your wrist
AI Coach & Forecasting
Tracks your real health trend as −%/month, predicts your replacement date months before Apple's indicator moves a point, and proactively suggests schedule rules based on your charging patterns.
  • Real-time degradation rate (−%/month)
  • 12-month health forecast & replacement quarter
  • Pattern detection — spots overnight charging habits automatically
  • Proactive scheduling suggestions — "Create Night Mode schedule?"
  • Weekly Health Report every Sunday — cycles saved, heat events
Smart Context — Travel Days
ThunderVolt reads your calendar. Detected a flight tomorrow? It automatically charges to 100% tonight, then drops back to your limit after you land. No other app in the world does this.
  • EventKit travel day detection
  • Auto-charges to 100% before flights & trips
  • Returns to limit after landing — automatically
  • Push notification: "Charging for your trip"
Charge Scheduler
Set rules that automatically apply a charge limit on specific days and times. "Weekdays 9–5: hold at 70%. Weekends: charge to 90%." No equivalent in standard battery utilities.
  • Day & time rules — any combination of days and hours
  • Auto-discharge when a rule activates — drops to your target before the window
  • Multiple rules with conflict detection
  • Daemon-evaluated — works even when the app is quit
  • Smart Routines — one-tap preset templates (Desk Worker, Night Mode, Creator Weekend, Storage)
Stop Charging on Sleep
Pause charging the moment your Mac sleeps or the lid closes. Resumes automatically on wake. Prevents phantom charging overnight at your desk.
  • IOKit power message monitoring
  • Instant pause on sleep / lid-close
  • Silent resume on wake
Live Power Flow
A real-time Sankey diagram shows exactly where every watt is going — AC adapter split between system load and battery charging, proportionally.
  • Proportional Bézier flow bands
  • AC adapter, system load, battery — live
  • Updates every hardware polling cycle
Health Intelligence
Raw hardware data from IOKit, calibration history tracking, and one-click CSV export. Everything you need to understand your battery's true condition over years, not weeks.
  • Cycle count, design capacity, max capacity, voltage — direct from hardware
  • True health % calculated from design vs actual capacity
  • Calibration history — last date, next recommended, overdue warning
  • Monthly calibration reminder notification
  • Export full history as CSV — timestamp, health, thermal state
Fleet Sync — All Your Macs
Monitor every Mac in your household from a single iPhone view. Private CloudKit sync — your data never leaves Apple's infrastructure.
  • Unlimited device monitoring
  • Private iCloud sync (E2E encrypted)
  • Per-device charge control from iPhone
  • Device grouping — assign Home, Work, or Personal labels
Privileged Daemon Control
ThunderVolt uses a privileged system daemon with documented SMC key access via Apple's IOKit — more capable than App Store alternatives. App Store sandboxing prevents this level of control. Advanced (Direct) Edition Only
  • BCLM / CH0B key writes (Apple Silicon + Intel)
  • Apple Notarized & Gatekeeper approved
  • One-time $29.99 — instant download
