Beam Battery app for Android description
Beam is a lightweight battery monitor. It pins a live power, current, voltage, or charge readout to your status bar and opens into a full breakdown of battery metrics inside a clean, themeable app.
Pick which unit appears in the status-bar icon (W, A, Ah, V, Wh, °C, %), or stack several values in the notification body.
Privacy first:
- No ads
- No tracking
- No data collection
- No third-party sharing
- No unnecessary permissions
Battery metrics in the app:
- Power (watts)
- Current (amps)
- Voltage (volts)
- Energy (watt-hours)
- Temperature (°C)
- Charge level (percent)
- Charging status and plug type
- Charging since (date / time)
- Time to full charge
Personalisation:
- Material You dynamic colour (Android 12+) or a custom seed colour from a 12-swatch palette
- Light, Dark, System, and OLED-black themes
- Optional hero backlight glow and haptic feedback
Device compatibility:
- Power-scalar correction for phones that report µA instead of mA
- Inverted-current toggle for phones that flip charging direction
- Adjustable polling interval

Note: notification permission is required to display the status-bar indicator. Open the app once to start the indicator service.
