Microsoft is currently enhancing the battery icon for Windows 11, but for users seeking a deeper insight into their PC’s battery health, the third-party application “Battery Flyout” by Michał Łeptuch is a compelling option. This app not only allows users to toggle between power modes but also offers intricate charts detailing battery usage over time. Recently, Battery Flyout has undergone a significant update, further enriching its functionality.
While some features of Battery Flyout are already integrated into Windows 11 or are on the horizon, the app consolidates various aspects of battery health management into a single, user-friendly interface. For instance, Battery Flyout can display battery percentage—a feature currently being tested in Windows 11.
Battery Flyout Update Highlights
- The power slider is now functional on ARM64 devices.
- Users can generate a comprehensive battery report that includes a PC summary, battery levels over one day or one week, installed battery details, and battery-saving recommendations.
- Minor stability and performance enhancements have been implemented.
- Additional settings for customizing the tray icon style have been introduced.
Łeptuch, the creative mind behind Battery Flyout, is also known for developing Calendar Flyout, another highly regarded app for customizing Windows 11. As I plan to test Battery Flyout further, initial impressions suggest it may soon join the ranks of essential applications for Windows 11 users.
In addition to these applications, Łeptuch has created several others that have become staples in my daily routine. For instance, Fluent Emoji Gallery allows users to save emojis in various formats, including SVG, PNG, GIF, and ICO. This tool is particularly useful for those who enjoy crafting memes, as it provides quick access to a diverse library of emojis in preferred file formats.
Other notable applications from Łeptuch include Ink Workspace, Input Switcher, and Media Flyout, each designed to enhance the Windows 11 experience in unique ways.
