Lark
Every battery, in your menu bar.
Your AirPods, iPhone, Apple Watch, the Mac you're sitting at, and the mouse and keyboard on your desk — every level in one click. Native and free. Optional anonymous usage sharing is off unless you turn it on.
Coming soon macOS 14 or later · Always free
That's it — Lark's yours.
Nothing else to do, and nothing to enter. If it ends up saving you from a dead pair of AirPods, you can name what that was worth.
What it does
-
Everything on one list
AirPods and Beats down to each bud and the case, iPhone and iPad over cable or Wi-Fi, Apple Watch through your phone, your Mac's own battery, and the Bluetooth mice and keyboards on your desk.
-
Pops up when you open the case
Flip your AirPods open near your Mac and Lark shows the same kind of splash your iPhone does — levels for both buds and the case, then it gets out of the way.
-
Noise control without Control Center
Switch your AirPods between Off, Transparency, Adaptive and Noise Cancellation straight from the menu bar, the same way macOS does it.
-
Tells you before it dies
A notification when anything drops past a threshold you pick, and another when it finishes charging. Set it once and stop checking.
-
Your menu bar, your call
Show a ring with the percentage inside or a classic battery glyph, keep the proximity splash or turn it off, and have Lark start with your Mac.
-
Nothing leaves your Mac
No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no servers. Lark reads Bluetooth locally and makes no network requests at all — there is not a single one in the source.
Works with
-
AirPods
Every generation, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max.
Left bud, right bud and the case, separately.
-
Beats
Fit Pro, Studio Buds and Studio Buds +, Powerbeats Pro and Powerbeats 3, Solo 3 and Solo Pro, Studio 3, Flex and BeatsX.
Over the same Bluetooth broadcast as AirPods.
-
iPhone & iPad
Any iPhone or iPad you've paired with this Mac.
Over cable, or over Finder Wi-Fi sync once it's turned on.
-
Apple Watch
Reported through the iPhone it's paired to.
No separate setup — it arrives with the phone.
-
Your Mac
The built-in battery of the Mac you're sitting at.
Including whether it's plugged in and charging.
-
Desk accessories
Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and other Bluetooth peripherals.
Whatever your Mac is connected to and reports a level for.
Questions
Why isn't my iPhone showing up?
Its battery arrives over the same link Finder uses. Plug the phone in once, tick "Show this iPhone when on Wi-Fi" in Finder, and Lark picks it up from then on without the cable.
Are the percentages exact?
They're estimates. Devices round their own levels coarsely before broadcasting them, and a reading can be stale or missing entirely — so treat Lark as a heads-up, not an instrument.
What does it need access to?
Bluetooth, or there's nothing to read. Notifications only if you want the low-battery alerts, and Accessibility only if you want noise control from the menu bar. Details in the privacy policy.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. No account, no trial, no paid tier, and no feature held back. Tips are welcome and change nothing about the app.
Lark is free. It'll stay that way.
No licence, no trial, no paid tier, nothing held back. If it saved you from a dead pair of AirPods and you feel like buying me a coffee, that's the whole business model.
Buy me a coffeeEntirely optional, and it changes nothing about the app.
