Charge Beacon Companion

Check the power status of your Mac from your iPhone or iPad.

Charge Beacon Companion connects to Charge Beacon on your Mac to show battery charge, connected power, thermal pressure and departure readiness. Optional readings and weekly observation totals come from your Mac; missing readings stay unavailable.

Pair nearby by confirming the same code on both devices. Enable automatic reconnection to remember your approved Mac. Away from your desk, optional private iCloud sharing lets you view the latest saved Mac status using the same iCloud account on both devices.

With companion controls allowed on your Mac, change Charge Beacon modes, desk target and display preferences from your iPhone. Changes require Mac confirmation. Your Mac must be awake and connected to send fresh status or apply changes.

This app requires Charge Beacon for Mac. It displays the battery in your Mac, not the battery in your iPhone. It does not control macOS charging, fans, games or system performance. A desk target is a Charge Beacon preference and does not change the Charge Limit setting in macOS. Remote readings may be delayed; check the measurement time.

No separate Charge Beacon account, advertising, analytics or payments. Nearby sessions are encrypted. Optional remote status and commands use your private iCloud database. Raw telemetry history remains on your Mac; selected current readings and optional weekly totals may be shared.
