Battery Hog 1.2 makes heavy development work much easier to understand and manage on battery.

What’s new

  • Development Workloads groups compiler, test, dev-server, package, and coding-agent activity by project.
  • Battery-aware Agent Mode coordinates opted-in heavyweight commands on battery and becomes unrestricted on AC power.
  • Sleep Blockers identifies apps and power settings preventing idle sleep.
  • Opt-in Heat alerts watch sustained macOS thermal pressure and name likely contributing workloads.
  • Launches are about 5× faster: live stats render first while power history refreshes in the background and persists across relaunches.
  • Native, web, process, and power-log polling are protected against overlapping work.
  • The signed arm64 binary now correctly targets macOS 11 and later.

Signed, notarized, and stapled with Developer ID.
