Battery
Live battery level and charging state, plus a Specs list with model-level battery details (when available).
Overview
Battery combines live signals from iOS (battery level/state, Low Power Mode, thermal state) with model-level battery specs sourced from the device profile.

Battery Display
At the top of the screen, Lirum shows a large battery visualization:
- Current percentage
- Charging/discharging/full state (reflected in the animation)
- A liquid wave animation inside the battery that fills based on the current level
- Energy flow particles that animate toward the battery while charging, with a pulsing lightning bolt icon
The battery fill color changes based on level: red (0-20%), orange (20-40%), yellow (40-60%), green (60-80%), and cyan (80-100%). When Low Power Mode is enabled, the fill is yellow regardless of level.
The entire screen background uses an animated gradient that reflects the battery and thermal state: blue tones while charging, green when fully charged, purple when discharging, and red when the thermal state is critical.
Status Indicators
When Low Power Mode is enabled or the system thermal state is elevated (Serious or Critical), a small pulsing indicator bar appears near the top. The thermal indicator shows "Warm" for the serious state and "Overheating" for the critical state.
System Status Cards
Two cards summarize:
- Low Power Mode: enabled/disabled
- Thermal State: nominal/fair/serious/critical
Specs
Specs is a scrolling list of battery-related attributes. The exact rows vary by device and platform, but can include:
- Battery type, capacity, and voltage
- Wireless charging support
- Energy values
- Estimated runtimes for common activities (talk time, standby, video playback, browsing, audio, gaming, etc.)
Advanced Metrics Grid
When enough model-level fields are available, Battery shows a grid of four highlighted cards: Video Recording duration, GPS Navigation duration, Gaming (3D) duration, and Standby time. Each card includes an icon and value for quick scanning.
Notes And Limitations
- Specs values are based on the device profile for your model and are not a prediction of your current battery health or usage.
- Some fields may be unavailable on certain devices or platforms.
- On macOS Catalyst, battery status is polled every 10 seconds. On iOS, native battery notifications provide real-time updates.
