Your Mac’s battery as a living, breathing landscape
Cyluma turns your Mac’s battery into a responsive living landscape. Optimise your battery's health with best parctices. See charge, charging state, time remaining, battery health and energy use from a calm menu-bar companion.
Hey Product Hunt, I’m Niteesh, maker of Cyluma.
Macs give us precise battery information, but it is easy to ignore until the moment power becomes urgent. I wanted to explore a different kind of system indicator: one that lets you sense your energy state throughout the day, while keeping the practical details close at hand.
Cyluma is a macOS menu-bar companion that turns battery status into a living solar garden. The reservoir reflects charge, water follows energy flow and the atmosphere shifts as power changes. Behind the visual layer, it shows charge, charging state, time remaining, battery health, cycle count, temperature, energy mode and significant energy use.
I made Cyluma for people who spend long days working from a Mac and want a more considered relationship with the machine carrying their work.
I would especially value your feedback on three questions:
1. Does the living landscape make battery state easier to understand at a glance?
2. Which battery signal would you want surfaced more clearly?
3. Would this earn a permanent place in your menu bar?
