More obvious
A clearer, more intentional warning when your battery drops below the level you choose.
Battery SOS for Mac
Your Mac whispers.
Battery SOS has the decency to yell.
Battery SOS is a tiny Mac app that warns you before your laptop dies, so you can plug in before your screen goes black and your unsaved work ascends into the heavens.
- Apple signed + notarized
- Set your own warning level
- Built for people who like finishing their work
For writers, builders, tab hoarders, caffeine-fueled gremlins, and anyone who has ever said, “I’ll plug it in in a second” right before disaster.
The problem
macOS gives low-battery warnings. They’re just weirdly easy to ignore.
Battery SOS exists for one reason: to make the warning impossible to miss before your computer rage-quits the relationship.
More customizable
Set the threshold that matches how you work — whether you’re cautious at 20% or reckless at 7%.
More merciful
Prevent the stupid kind of interruption: lost edits, broken flow, and that tiny funeral in your soul when the screen goes dark.
Alert Modes
Pick your flavor of panic.
Hover a mode on the left to preview the kind of alert screen Battery SOS will show.
How it works
Simple app. One job. Zero nonsense.
1
Install it
Drag Battery SOS into Applications like the civilized Mac user you pretend to be.
2
Pick your panic point
Choose the battery percentage where you want the alert to fire.
3
Stay ahead of the crash
Get the warning, grab a charger, keep working, and feel smug about your foresight.
What you’re really buying
Not a battery app. A continuity app.
Battery SOS helps you keep your train of thought, your unsaved work, and your afternoon from getting body-slammed by a preventable shutdown.
“This is for the person with 37 tabs open, a half-written email, a doc they forgot to save, and exactly zero interest in learning a lesson the hard way.”
Good for:
- Writing sessions
- Client calls
- Editing marathons
- Airport work sprints
- Living on vibes and 11% battery
Trust
No mystery meat.
Is it legit?
Yep. Apple Developer ID signed + notarized.
Do I need to think hard?
No. Install it, set the threshold once, and let the app be louder than your denial.
Can I verify the file?
Also yes. SHA256 checksum is included for the delightfully paranoid.
