Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Battery Beggar because I kept anthropomorphizing my laptop. Every time it dropped below 20%, I'd hear it whining in my head. So I wrote the whining down and shipped it as a Mac menu bar app. Five personality packs: - Dramatic (the default: high-strung, needy) - Matter of Fact (just the numbers) - Passive Aggressive (you know exactly what you did) - Anxious (spiraling in real time) - Stoic (stares silently as the ship goes down) It watches your battery, reacts at nine trigger points (50%, 25%, 15%, 10%, 5%, plus charger events), and speaks the reactions out loud if you want. Everything local. No accounts, no cloud, no tracking. $2.99 on the Mac App Store. One-time. No subscription. I intended to launch on Earth Day last week, but the Apple Review team had other plans … Happy to answer anything: how the personality system works, the solo-dev process, what's coming next. — Kofi
