Read full description

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.

EV Charge Log

Features
Read full description

EV Charge Log is a simple, fast, and easy-to-use charging log for electric vehicle owners. It helps you track how many times you charge each month, especially when charging to 80%, 90%, 100%, or a custom battery percentage. When you open the app, you immediately see this month’s charging summary and quick buttons to log a new charging session with one tap. If you have already charged to 100% this month, the app shows a clear status. If you log 100% charging two or more times in the same month, EV Charge Log displays a warning so you can better understand your charging habits. Key features: Quickly log 80%, 90%, 100%, or custom battery percentages View your total charging sessions for the current month Track 80%, 90%, 100%, and other custom charge counts Get a warning when 100% charging is logged more than once in a month Browse charging history grouped by month Edit or delete individual charging sessions Add notes to each charging log Customize your vehicle name and quick log buttons Optional monthly reminder to check your 100% charge status Supports English and Vietnamese Local storage only, no account required EV Charge Log does not provide technical battery recommendations. It is only a manual charging log to help you remember your charging history. Battery recommendations vary by vehicle model, so always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s guidance.
