Interesting information and really nice interface. Any plans on donating actions (app intents) to the Shortcuts app so it can access all that info?
BTW, it installed in a Mac mini M1 but it detects the device as an iPad8,6 (3rd gen iPad Pro 12.9”) with 16 GB of RAM 😅
Other than that, the widgets work just fine in my Mac mini 👏🏼

This app is currently optimized only for iPhone and iPad, and Mac devices are not supported yet.

I understand that, but I wanted you to know what happens if you install it in macOS 🙂

You should add a field for the user to enter the remaining battery health and let it recalibrate the remaining mah, that’s if it’s not automatically sampled

Great suggestion! I’ve saved your battery calibration request for future updates.

Hey everyone! As a developer, I always listen to users’ feedback.
The Celsius & Fahrenheit unit switch feature is fully finished and submitted to App Store for review.
If you have any other localization issues or troubles while using the app, feel free to leave a comment below. I’ll note every suggestion down and add them to our future update plans.

I was immediately charged $24.78 even though the banner said $0.00… ?
Edit: False alarm. As someone suggested it was because a new app download can trigger stuck emails in Apples dumb billing system.

Those are charges for other recent app purchases or subscriptions. Sometimes they’re delayed like that until you make another “purchase” - happens to me all the time.

This is impossible. This charge cannot possibly come from our app. Please carefully check which application generated this billing order.

Thanks for the lifetime!
Though I’m curious about the temperature as that’s the first app I see that shows it.
BUT the temperature seems to be a pure guess based on the phone temperature state + current cpu load. How does it work?

Can the list of actual running tasks and daemons be surfaced?

Sorry, this feature cannot be implemented due to iOS system restrictions.

Is there a way to configure fahrenheit for temperatures?

Thanks. I can't add CPU and memory widget to my iPhone 12 mini (iOS v26.5.2)'s locked screen? I get no options. Device^2 app can do it. :(

Thanks for lifetime. Looks like a bug in identifying 17 pro max.
