FruitJuice
FruitJuice is a Mac battery utility that helps MacBook users monitor battery health, charging habits, and estimated runtime.
What is FruitJuice?
FruitJuice is a native macOS utility for MacBook battery monitoring and battery-maintenance guidance. It helps users track battery health, charging cycles, estimated runtime, and daily power use so they can better understand how their laptop battery is performing. The app is designed for people who want more battery information than macOS shows by default, especially users who work on battery power regularly or want reminders about healthier charging habits. FruitJuice commonly runs from the menu bar for quick access to battery details and usage history. It was published by BatteryProject and distributed for Mac through the Mac App Store and the publisher’s website. The product is no longer sold, but existing owners may still encounter it on older or continuing Mac setups.
Key features

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
FruitJuice is a legitimate battery utility for macOS, and the kind of battery information it uses is normal for this type of app. Users may notice menu bar activity and notifications because battery monitoring is its main purpose. The main practical concern is age: the product is no longer sold and may not receive ongoing support or updates, so behavior on newer macOS versions may be less predictable. If you still use it, keep macOS security protections enabled and remove it if it no longer works well for your workflow.
Recommendation: Keep FruitJuice if you actively use its battery monitoring or charging reminders on your MacBook. If you no longer rely on it, removing it is reasonable and should only affect its own battery-tracking features and notifications.
