What is coconutBattery?
coconutBattery is a battery-monitoring utility for macOS that helps users check the condition and current status of batteries in their Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It presents battery health details such as design capacity, current full charge capacity, cycle count, temperature, and charging information in a desktop app focused on diagnostics rather than general system management. Many users install it to track battery aging over time, compare current capacity with original design values, or inspect a connected iPhone or iPad from their Mac. The app also includes battery history views and a menu bar mode for quick status checks during everyday use. Published by Christoph Sinai, coconutBattery is commonly used by Mac owners who want more detailed battery information than the standard built-in battery indicators provide.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
coconutBattery is a legitimate battery information tool for macOS. Access to battery and connected-device information is consistent with its purpose, and using it does not normally require unusual system-level privileges. As with any hardware-monitoring tool, only download it from the official coconut-flavour.com site and confirm the app is signed as expected before installing.
Recommendation: Keep coconutBattery if you actively monitor battery health on your Mac or check the batteries in your iPhone or iPad from your Mac. If you do not use those diagnostics, you can remove it without affecting normal macOS battery operation beyond losing its extra monitoring views and history features.
