Juicy customizes macOS battery management

Juicy consolidates battery alerts, charging limits, and connected device tracking into a single native Swift application, replacing the need for multiple stacked utilities. It offers customizable, high-visibility alerts at any percentage, charge limiting capabilities like Sailing Mode, per-app energy usage tracking, and battery health diagnostics for Macs as well as connected iPhones, iPads, and accessories.

// ANALYSIS

Juicy is a well-designed native alternative to the clunky practice of running multiple utility apps for basic macOS hardware management.

–Consolidates functionalities of coconutBattery, AlDente, and AirBuddy, reducing system tray clutter and system overhead.
–Built natively in Swift to ensure performance remains under 0.1% CPU usage.
–High-visibility notification designs address the easily-ignored default macOS low battery warnings.
–Capitalizes on the growing preference for single-purchase native software over subscription fatigue.

Terminal Control is an open-source tool that enables AI coding agents to control, test, and capture real terminal applications through pseudo-terminals.

Terminal Control provides a Rust-based command-line interface and a TypeScript client library that allow external drivers, such as AI agents and automated testing suites, to interact directly with Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs). By offering a real pseudo-terminal environment, it overcomes the limitations of parsing plain text output, enabling precise keystroke injection, screen capture, timeline recording, and extraction of structured visual states like SVG and JSON.
