Reawake vs BatteryShare

Reawake is an app that lets you easily check your MacBook's battery status from your iPhone. You can also view the status directly from a widget. By keeping track of your battery status, you can avoid situations like opening your MacBook on the go only to find that the battery is nearly empty.

Keep an eye on your Mac’s battery right from your iPhone. BatteryShare securely syncs your Mac’s charge level, charging state, and time remaining over iCloud so you can check it at a glance, wherever you are. On your Mac, a lightweight menu bar app records battery status periodically and can start automatically at login. On your iPhone, a clean, glanceable dashboard shows the latest charging status, whether your Mac is charging, and estimated time until full or empty. You can even label your Mac for quick recognition.
