Free battery monitoring system software for mac

SlimBatteryMonitor 1.5 is created to be an elegant space-efficient replacement power gauge for your Mac OS X menu bar. It monitors both laptop batteries and many UPS batteries. You can select different views for when powered, charging or on battery... even instruct SlimBatteryMonitor to automatically hide itself in some circumstances (e.g. while fully charged).

A graphical icon shows the power remaining, and can be accompanied by a text description (battery charge in percent, or time remaining). Colours indicate whether the system is fully charged, charging or on battery. In some cases, SlimBatteryMonitor can be 70% slimmer than Apple's system meter... With SlimBatteryMonitor you'll have room for other important menu bar items.

Battery Drain is a free utility which allows users to charge or drain their batteries to a certain amount for long-term storage.

When storing lithium-ion batteries for an extended period of time, Apple recommends storing them with a 50% charge. Battery Drain allows you to set the charge amount and will automatically shut down the computer when the battery has reached the proper charge.

Battery Drain is very useful for administrators of large numbers of portable Macintosh computers, such as MacBooks and iBooks.

What is Heart Monitor?
Heart Monitor is a bare-bones CPU monitor menu extra that displays a beating heart. As the CPU load increases, the heart beats faster. You can set Heart Monitor to track the User, System, Idle or Nice load. It does not do much else. Uptime, processor info and other tidbits are not displayed. You can set the window level (desktop, normal or floating), and optionally display a small window showing all CPU load averages.
There are many CPU monitors out there that give you plenty of CPU information. This is not one of those applications.
How do I use Heart Monitor?
Simply double click to launch. A heart will appear on your desktop, and a new menu item will appear in your menubar, displaying a percentage. This is the CPU load average for whichever load you wish to track (User, System, Idle or Nice). Use this menu to set the preferences of the Heart Monitor.
How do I quit Heart Monitor?
Simply click on the menu that is displaying the CPU load, and choose "Quit Heart Monitor".
Why doesnt Heart Monitor show the things I want to see?
Because Im not you. And its free. And the source code is available.
Heart Monitor is 159% freeware. You may redistribute the application as you see fit, without notification to myself, as long as no fee is collected.
Enhancements:
- Version 1.3: Universal binary version.

Now you are able to give the spray to your iPhone with this NOS bottle battery icon set.

BatteryInfo is a Dashboard widget designed to be a better looking, dashboard based replacement for the menu bar battery monitor. Thanks go to Luis Moreno for the graphics and to Marc Wolfgram for helping implement dual battery support.
It has the ability to display the percentage charge remaining. It can also display the time remaining on current charge, although this feature is somewhat ugly and needs beautifying, so if anyone has any suggestions for making it look better, mail me! It also fully supports dual-battery setups in Pismo laptops. If you have any comments, queries or suggestions, mail me at widgets@menial.co.uk.
This widget is more accurate than other copies out there are it pulls its information from the same place as the Apple menubar item. It also looks nicer IMO ;)
This widget is freeware, although donations to keep me in bandwidth are much appreciated. You can do this through the widget homepage.
Main features:
- Graphically display battery status
- Display the percentage charge remaining
- Display the time remaining on current charge
- Dual battery support
- Localized in multiple languages.
Enhancements:
- Fixed display of several languages which would not show accented characters
- Improved display of percentage battery charge
- Optimisations reducing widget size.

Lithium Network Monitoring Platform 4.9.2.1 is regarded as a simple and beneficial network, server and appliance monitoring and management platform. Designed to provide an end-to-end Mac OS X solution, Lithium includes automated device monitoring, out-of-the-box support for SNMP and an integrated trouble-ticket case management system.

The platform is built around a scalable, modular architecture that incorporates a Mac OS X server-side component (Core) to perform automated device monitoring, data collection, analysis and storage and to manage the multi-user case management system.

The Mac OS X client (Console) provides the user with a graphically rich and interactive monitoring and management console that delivers integration and efficient work-flow beyond the capabilities of web-based applications alone.

A web-based interface (Web) is also included that delivers an anywhere, anytime, portal to view all network monitoring data without the need for client applications from any web-enabled device.

atMonitor 1.19.0 is considered such as the professional Mac OS X system monitor and process explorer tool for user. Data is collected and displayed in the "Activity Viewer", with a choice of either using a beautifully designed floating window that blends right into the desktop without being distracting, or installed in the menu bar leaving your desktop untouched.

Major Features:

1. atMonitor is the most advanced Mac OS X system monitor and process explorer utility. Data is collected and displayed in the "Activity Viewer", with a choice of using a beautifully designed floating window that blends right into the desktop without being distracting, or installed in the menu bar leaving your desktop untouched, or both. Some of the unique features include GPU and FPS monitoring as well as the ability to manipulate processes. atMonitor can also be set to log collected information and save it to XML file for further investigation. Triggers can be setup to execute scripts when given resource reaches its target value.
2. Developers will appreciate the ability to monitor system resources that include the top 3 most CPU hungry processes, CPU, CPU Temperature, RAM, GPU, GPU Temperature, VRAM, FPS, Disk I/O and Net I/O. Any BSD signal can be sent to any process. The impact of atMonitor itself on the system resources is minimal as it has been highly optimzed for speed, memory and CPU usage.
3. System administrators will have the ability to setup triggers to execute scripts as a way to keep track of the system resource usage. Set of priorities can be setup and automatically applied to specific processes (renice).
4. Power users will enjoy the "top" window which combines the best features of both "top" and "ps" commands. No longer will the running processes remain a mystery as atMonitor will display their names, description, full path, arguments, environment, linked libraries, opened files as well as the "man pages" (for those processes that have them). Control is given back to the user who will now have the ability to inspect and manipulate any process, including the ability to pausing and killing processes.
5. Gamers will be happy to learn that full screen application monitoring is finally available: GPU and FPS samples can be displayed on top of their running games and be used to optimize graphics settings.
6. Finally, everyone will be thrilled with the freedom and customizability of atMonitor as the look and feel can be adjusted.
7. Exploring processes
   • A very powerful feature of atMonitor is the top window (a combination of Unix "top" and "ps" commands) which you can use to find out process information as well as manipulate it. You will be able to monitor the status, priority, RAM usage, CPU utilization, ownership, thread count, process ID and find any zombie processes as well as their parents.
8. Logging
   • With a simple key shortcut you can use atMonitor's logging feature to sample your CPU, top 3 CPU processes, RAM, top 3 RAM processes, GPU, VRAM, FPS as well as both Disk and Networking I/O throughputs. You can then save the results as an XML document for more detailed offline analysis.
9. Flexibility
   • One of the key features of atMonitor is high level of customization allowed. Not only can you decide which resources to track, but also how to display them. Options include horizontal and vertical layouts, different font sizes, transparency and more. You can also allow the "activity viewer" to follow you across the Mac OS X spaces and specify whether or not it should respond to mouse clicks. In addition, you can choose to utilize atMonitor's Dock icon to display one resource of your choice. If you prefer, you can choose to have atMonitor display its "activity viewer" in the menu bar to save screen real estate.

Requirements:

• Requires Mac OS X 10.5 A modern video card is required for monitoring GPU activity
