[](https://crates.io/crates/batmon)

`batmon` is an interactive viewer, similar to `top`, `htop` and other *top utilities, but about the batteries installed in your notebook.
It was forked of <https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battop>.

## Features
- Cross-platform (Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD are supported and Windows is untested)
- Supports multiple batteries in case your notebook have them
- It is free
- Usually it just works!
`batmon` is backed by a Rust crate [battery](https://crates.io/crates/starship_battery) which provides unified cross-platform information about system batteries.
[Check it out](https://github.com/starship/rust-battery), if you want to gather the same information for your application!

## Usage
