About

Moodcell gives your iPhone a mood about its battery, and a face to show it. Plug it in and it perks up. Unplug it at 8% and it gets anxious. Change your mind five times in an hour and it gets dizzy, says so once, and then goes quiet — because an escalation should end, not get louder. A FACE, NOT A PERCENTAGE Twelve moods, each with its own face AND its own name, so the drawing and the label never tell you two different things. It blinks, it breathes, and its eyes follow your finger around the screen. IT TALKS, AND IT ANSWERS Ask how it feels, how its night went, why it is quiet, or what its level is — by tapping, by typing a question, or by asking Siri. Every answer is built from what iOS actually reported, and when the battery cannot be read it says so rather than inventing a number. POKE IT Tap the battery and it reacts — pleased, then delighted if you keep fussing. Push past what your chosen personality will take and it gets bothered, then cross, then it goes quiet on you for a minute. Cheerful will take eight taps. Stoic will take two. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app is included. It has its own face and its own mood about the watch's battery, and it shows you how your phone is feeling too. WHEN THE APP IS CLOSED iOS gives no app a way to wake up when the charger moves. Moodcell is honest about that instead of pretending: add a Shortcuts personal automation for Charger Connected and Charger Disconnected, point it at Moodcell, and it will react even when the app is not open. Settings walks you through it. ABOUT THE NUMBER iOS reports the battery level to apps in 5% steps — that is Apple's rounding, not ours, and it is the finest reading any app is given. So Moodcell says "about 55%" rather than pretending to a precision it does not have. IT NEVER NAGS, AND IT NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE One notification per event at most, quiet hours on by default, voice off until you turn it on. No account, no analytics, no network requests of any kind. ONE APP, THREE DEVICES Moodcell covers your iPhone, your Apple Watch and your Mac.Read more
