## What is UPS Power Monitor?

UPS Power Monitor is a native iOS application that lets you monitor the status of your UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) devices — either directly on your local network through a NUT (Network UPS Tools) server, or remotely via cloud sync from a Mac running UPS Power Monitor.

Important: Local monitoring requires access to a NUT or NUT-compatible server such as Synology NAS UPS Server or Raspberry Pi with NUT installed. UPS devices connected via USB must first be shared through a NUT server.

Key Features:
• Monitor multiple UPS devices from one app
• Cloud monitoring — check your UPS status from anywhere, synced from your Mac
• Parameter history charts — track battery charge, load, and other values over 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days (requires a device running the app to continuously collect data)
• Push notifications — get alerted when power switches to battery, returns to AC, or the UPS is fully charged (requires a device actively monitoring the UPS)
• View detailed data such as battery charge, estimated runtime, current load, device state, voltage, and battery type*
• Display all raw values provided by the UPS or NUT server for detailed diagnostics

Local monitoring is available as a one-time purchase. Cloud monitoring, cross-device sync, push notifications, and parameter history require an active subscription.

* The data shown may vary depending on your UPS model and NUT server configuration.

### 2/5 — Widget nur mit Abo!?

*2026-06-04*

Ich habe die lebenslange Lizenz gekauft. Mit dieser sehe ich in der Menüleiste alle Live Daten meiner USV. Will ich jedoch die gleichen Daten einfach als Widget auf meinem Mac anzeigen, brauche ich ein Abo. Was soll das denn? Ich möchte keine Cloud oder sonstige Funktionen abonnieren. Ich möchte meine bereits erhobenen Funktionen einfach als Widget sehen!

**Developer response:** Auf der Kaufseite im App Store wird angegeben, dass die Widgets Teil von UPS Cloud sind.

Die Widgets sind Teil von UPS Cloud und nutzen dieselbe Cloud-Infrastruktur, die die Synchronisierung der USV-Daten zwischen der Menüleisten-App, Widgets, iPhone, iPad und weiteren Geräten ermöglicht. Da dieser Dienst laufende Infrastruktur- und Betriebskosten verursacht, sind die Widgets Bestandteil des UPS-Cloud-Abonnements und nicht der lebenslangen Lizenz.

Die lebenslange Lizenz bietet weiterhin die vollständige lokale USV-Überwachung, einschließlich der Live-Daten in der Menüleisten-App, ganz ohne Abonnement.

### 1/5 — No lifetime plan

*2026-05-04*

I’m not into being nickel and dimed to death by monthly or yearly subscription plans.  Have a lifetime plan.  I mean come on, it’s a UPS shutdown and monitoring app.  Plenty of free Homebrew NUT tools you can run that will do the same thing.  Yes an app is easier and prettier but it doesn’t justify ~$4/month or ~$50/year.

**Developer response:** You can unlock local monitoring features with a single lifetime in-app purchase. 

The cloud monitoring and notification features offered by the app incur recurring costs for us. While we would also are not big fans of subscriptions, we are not able to cover the infrastructure costs and maintain the app’s high-level updates through a lifetime plan.

### 1/5 — Can’t believe that Apple would allow an app on the app store that forces you to install a zip 2 work

*2026-04-30*

To get the auto shutdown feature, which I would say is the main feature, you are forced to download a zip file for the server? This is not safe, and could very easily be a strategy for installing malware and trojan horses. I will be reporting the app. The server and shutdown component should be part of the app or a separate app on the app store.

**Developer response:** App is not forcing anything, please don’t spread misinformation.
App Store apps cannot shut down macOS, so an external tool is needed (as always; now there is a management app to streamline the installation process). It is optional and is not needed for the app to run in order to monitor UPS devices. 
Power Server scripts are open source for full transparency and you can install them manually if you don’t want to use helper app. Detailed instructions are available on our support page.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-02-05*

I reviewed this a few years ago, and back then I had an issue with it causing high CPU usage - I forgot about it for a while, but having recently bought a new UPS, I remembered the app and gave it another try. Not only is the interface shiny and updated, it works a treat! There seems to be a real lack of good UPS monitoring apps on either macOS or Windows, and this seems to be the best of the bunch! Glad I have it! Thanks for the great app!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the review and for using the UPS Power Monitor app, we are glad you like it! Best regards

### 5/5 — Great with Synology NAS and Mac

*2026-01-08*

Just what I needed. Got CyberPower UPS this morning and USB connected it to my Synology NAS. I then enabled the NAS to act as a UPS server on the LAN and then this tool on my Mac displays full information and will trigger a Mac Shutdown in case of power failure. Note to Self: plug Mac’s power cord into UPS after turning off the Mac!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for the review and for using the UPS Power Monitor app, we are glad you like it! Best regards

### 5/5 — Perfect UPS Power Monitor App

*2025-11-04*

Perfect. No notes. Used it for years.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and for using UPS Power Monitor app, we are glad you like it! Best re­gards

### 3/5 — Tolle App, aber….

*2025-10-18*

…der Support für DSM 7.3 ist derzeit nicht gegeben. Ich hoffe auf ein Update. Unter DSM 7.2 lief alles perfekt!!

**Developer response:** Please reach out to us with more details as the app is verified to be compatible with DSM 7.3.
Best regards

### 3/5 — Stopped working with Tahoe upgrade

*2025-10-04*

The local server monitor stopped working, and the developers website to get instructions on setup has an Invalid SSL certificate error from Cloudflare, so no way to fix it.  Looks like vaporware.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Website issues was just temporary, application is still being active and updated.
Kind regards

### 5/5 — Works perfectly on M4 Mac Mini (Sequoia 15.4)

*2025-04-04*

The app was easy to set up and is surprisingly simple and intuitive. It does exactly what I need. I have it monitoring the status of an APC Back-UPS 1500 (connected by USB to an Unraid server running the Network UPS Tools plugin) and set to power off the Mini and other devices when the battery runs low. Amazing!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review and for using the UPS Power Monitor app, we are glad you like it! Best regards

### 4/5 — Good Mac alternative to WinNUT

*2025-01-22*

I was looking for an alternative to the WinNUT application I was using on Windows. This application is it, I like that it sits in the menu bar.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review and for using UPS Power Monitor app, we are glad you like it! Best re­gards
