## Installation and Usage

### System Requirements:

- macOS 11.0 and Later  



### Installation:

Download the latest installation file [here](../../releases/latest) or install via Homebrew:  



```bash

brew install lihaoyun6/tap/airbattery

```



### Usage: 

- After AirBattery is started, it will be displayed on both the Dock and the status bar by default, or only one of them (can be configured)  



- AirBattery will automatically search for all devices supported by the **"Nearbility Engine"** without manual configuration.  

- Click the Dock icon / status bar icon, or add a widget to view the battery usage of your devices.  

- You can also use the **"Nearcast"** feature to check the battery usage of other Macs and their peripherals in the LAN at any time.  

- You can also change the status bar icon to a real-time battery icon in preferences, just like the one that comes with the system.  

- If necessary, you can hide certain devices in the Dock menu or status bar menu, and unhide them at any time.  



## Q&A

**1. Why is my iPhone / iPad / Apple Watch not showing up?**

> Please make sure the iPhone / iPad has trusted this Mac ***(and connected the Mac with a data cable at least once while AirBattery is running to pair)***. Then just make sure it is on the same LAN as the Mac.  



**2. Does my Apple Watch need to be pre-connected?**

> No, when AirBattery detects a paired iPhone via WiFi or USB, it will automatically read the battery data of the Apple Watch paired with it **(iPhone discovered via Bluetooth does not support reading the watch battery!)** 



**3. Why do some device name have a ⚠️ symbol?**

> If this symbol appears, it means that the device has not updated its battery information for more than ten minutes, and may be offline or turned off.  



**4. My iPhone is not connected to WiFi, can I get the battery info?**

> Please install AirBattery v1.1.2 or higher, enable the **`iPhone / iPad(Cellular) over BT`** in the preferences, and keep the device's Bluetooth turned on ***(Only supports iPhone or cellular iPad!)***  



**5. Why does AirBattery need Bluetooth permission?**

> AirBattery needs Bluetooth to capture packets from peripheral devices in order to parse their battery information.
