# AirPod Guard

AirPod Guard is an independent macOS menu bar utility for AirPods charging awareness. It helps Mac users notice when one AirPod probably did not charge before a call, commute, class, workout, or other moment where one dead earbud would be disruptive.

## What AirPod Guard Does

AirPod Guard reads available macOS Bluetooth battery information for connected AirPods. It shows left AirPod, right AirPod, case, and last checked information when available. It compares the left and right AirPod battery levels and sends a Mac notification when one side looks much lower than the other.

The app is designed for a narrow, common failure: one AirPod did not seat correctly in the case, so one earbud stayed low while the other charged.

## Important Limits

AirPod Guard depends on Bluetooth battery data exposed by macOS and the user's AirPods model. Exact left, right, case, charging, and unknown states may vary by device, macOS version, Bluetooth state, and system permissions. AirPod Guard helps catch likely charging problems, but it cannot guarantee every charging issue will be detected.
