Microsoft’s resolution to unify all system flyouts into one Fast Settings menu is among the least favourite modifications amongst Home windows 11 customers. Not solely did it restrict tray space personalization, but it surely additionally eliminated options like the flexibility to rapidly change energy mode with out opening Settings. Though Microsoft is engaged on a greater battery indicator for Home windows 11, a devoted flyout for energy settings is nowhere to be discovered.

Luckily, there’s a new small app that may repair that.

Battery Flyout fixes a number of issues with Home windows 11’s default battery indicator. For one, it lets you have got battery proportion within the tray space, permitting you to trace exact battery ranges with out hovering over the battery indicator. Clicking the icon opens a separate flyout with an 18-hour graph, the present degree, estimated time, and an influence mode slider.

In addition to offering details about the battery in your laptop computer or pill, the flyout permits you to view the battery ranges of all linked Bluetooth gadgets, resembling mice, keyboards, headphones, styluses, controllers, and so forth.

Nonetheless, my favourite Battery Flyout function is its notification system. You may set the app to inform you when the battery degree drops beneath or reaches a sure degree that can assist you preserve the battery wholesome by not discharging it beneath, say, 20% and never charging it above 90% (or one other degree). Battery Flyout may also notify you when the battery is totally charged. These notifications work not solely with the built-in battery but additionally with Bluetooth gadgets.

It’s value noting that some gadgets have extra charging modes that, for instance, restrict the utmost battery degree to protect its life. Sadly, Battery Flyout doesn’t detect these modes. It additionally doesn’t work nicely with Apple gadgets (it didn’t show my AirPods Professional 2’s battery degree). Additionally, the facility mode slider doesn’t work on ARM gadgets as of proper now.

You may get Battery Flyout from the Microsoft Retailer for $3.99.
