Every battery in your home and workshop, handled. Know what each device takes, keep spares in the drawer, and get a reminder before anything dies. For power tools, see which packs are charged and ready for the job. FOR YOUR HOME • Add the TV remote, smoke alarm, AirTag, car key, scale or thermostat in a tap. 36 common devices come with the right battery already filled in. • See exactly what each one takes: CR2032, CR2016, AA, AAA, 9V, LR44, hearing aid sizes and more. • Battery finder: search 357 and get LR44, search DL2032 and get CR2032. Or point your camera at the code on a coin cell. • Group devices by room: hallway, kitchen, garage. REMINDERS THAT MAKE SENSE • Smoke and CO alarms get a monthly test reminder and a clear change date. • Devices that fail quietly, like sensors and car keys, get a gentle "worth a check" with simple how-to-check steps. • Things that tell you themselves, like AirTags, don't nag you. • Log a change in one tap. The app learns how long batteries really last in each device. SPARES & SHOPPING LIST • A drawer for your spare batteries: swipe a card to add one or use one. • Set a minimum for each size. The shopping list fills itself in as devices come due, ready to share. WORKSHOP: POWER-TOOL PACKS • Track every cordless pack, charger and tool: charged, charging, in a tool, lent out or missing. • Plan a job and see which packs to charge, when, and on which charger. • Live charging progress and time to full. • Pack care: a nudge when a pack has been left full or empty too long, with the storage charge that keeps it healthy. • QR labels and NFC stickers: scan to open any pack. • Works with DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, Ryobi, Einhell, Parkside, Hilti, Stihl, EGO and more. ALWAYS AT HAND • Home Screen widgets show what's due next. • Ask Siri which battery the TV remote takes, what's due, or log a change hands-free. • Made for iPhone and iPad.
