Airpods Battery Monitor
Airpods Battery Monitor is a macOS menu bar utility that shows the battery levels of connected AirPods and related earbuds at a glance.
What is Airpods Battery Monitor?
Airpods Battery Monitor is a native macOS utility that helps users check the battery levels of connected AirPods from the menu bar instead of opening Bluetooth details each time. It is published by Mohamed Arradi-Alaoui and is distributed from the project's GitHub page rather than the Mac App Store. The app is designed for people who use AirPods regularly with a Mac and want faster visibility into earbud and case charge status during everyday work. Its interface centers on lightweight status bar access, and the project documentation also references widget support for AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and Beats Solo Pro. This is a focused helper app for macOS users who want simpler battery monitoring for Apple wireless audio devices.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This utility is intended to read battery information for supported Bluetooth audio devices and run from the menu bar, which is normal for its purpose. The publisher states that the app uses AppleScript and shell scripts and is distributed outside the Mac App Store, so you should install it only from the publisher's release page and review any permission prompts before allowing access. Background operation at login can be expected for a battery monitor. If you remove it, you will lose its quick menu bar battery view but not your AirPods pairing itself.
Recommendation: Keep it if you like having AirPods battery levels visible in the menu bar throughout the day. If you no longer use it or prefer macOS's built-in Bluetooth indicators, you can remove it without affecting your headphones beyond losing this shortcut view.
