A native menu bar app that answers battery drain in plain language. Live charge wattage, package power, top energy processes, and a local attribution timeline. No accounts. No telemetry. Data stays on this Mac.
Battery %, time remaining / to full, live charge watts (IOKit), package power, health & cycles.
Top processes by local energy-impact estimate (CPU + wake-like weight), with sparklines.
Rolling local log + “why did battery drop?” summary for the last hour in plain English.
60-second package wattage graph; P/E core share when the OS exposes counts.
PKG, DMG, and the curl installer all target the same v0.1.0-Beta
release listed in version.json.
Prefer curl if you want compile-from-source trust (Xcode CLT required).
Downloads the hardened shell installer, verifies integrity, compiles on your Mac, installs to ~/Applications/Fathom.app.
curl -fsSL https://chopstickshq.com/fathom/install.sh -o /tmp/fathom-install.sh && bash /tmp/fathom-install.sh
Requires Xcode Command Line Tools. Script refuses raw curl|bash without saving to disk first (integrity check).
Signed (ad-hoc until Apple notarization is wired) package → Applications. Needs admin password for system install.
Fathom-v0.1.0-Beta.pkg
Drag Fathom.app to Applications. Alternative to PKG for manual install.
Status badge is In development until public ship.
Local beta is installable today for testing. Clear history anytime from Settings; logs live in
~/Library/Application Support/Fathom/.
Fathom does not create accounts and does not send usage data.
Optional update check can read version.json from this site only.
Process names and battery samples never leave your machine.
