Charge Status

Charge Status shows you everything your battery isn't telling you. Plug in and watch your real charging speed appear live: percent per hour, estimated watts flowing into the battery, and a time-to-full that models how charging slows past 80%. • LIVE CHARGE SPEED — measured from your battery's actual behavior, sharpening within minutes of plugging in • ESTIMATED POWER — watts into the battery, honestly labeled as the estimate it is • TIME TO FULL — models the 80% trickle stage instead of pretending charging is linear • CHARGER & CABLE CHECK — an estimated grade of your setup against what your iPhone model can actually accept, so you know when a better adapter or cable would pay off • SESSION HISTORY — every charge recorded: range, duration, average watts • CONDITION AT A GLANCE — thermal state, charge stage, Low Power Mode Honest by design: iOS doesn't let apps read charger wattage or cable identity, so Charge Status derives everything from how fast your battery level actually changes — and tells you exactly which numbers are measured and which are estimates. Free for 7 days, then $4.99/year. No ads, no tracking, no data collection — everything stays on your iPhone.
