Loom walk-through
Live commentary shows how TurtleBar adapts as we launch design and call apps back to back. Subtitles included for every walkthrough.
Battery anxiety is killing your productivity
Manual toggles waste your focus
MacOS doesn't offer you a clear and quick way to toggle Low Power Mode, and no way to automate it.
Generic battery apps drain resources
Bulky utilities chew CPU and ignore the apps you actually rely on, so your battery still empties.
Low Power Mode kills performance
Apple's Low Power Mode slashes CPU and GPU speed by up to 30%, throttling everything, even the apps where you need full performance.
TurtleBar turns anxious battery checks into deliberate, calm sessions
Up to 20% longer battery life
Know exactly when your battery dies
Programmable, automated control

hey, i'm soren
(the guy who made turtlebar)
my mac kept dying too early.
low power mode was hidden, third‑party tools were messy, and performance always took a hit.
i wanted something simple, one click, in the menu bar, that just worked. so i built it.
turtlebar is my way to make battery saving effortless and quiet.
if that sounds useful, i’d love for you to try it soon.
