Any mac will come preinstalled with an application called "Find My" You can see the battery level and location for all your Apple devices here.

I realise it's not in the toolbar, but you can use it regardless of whether your iPhone is nearby (I use it to check my phone level when I am working upstairs, and my phone is in my room charging).

r/apple on Reddit: MacBook battery status in iPhone battery widget
June 2, 2014 -

So when thinking about the battery widget on the iPhone, I thought it would be great to see the status of the battery in your MacBook. Since Apple has removed the status indicator lights on the side, there's no other way to check than to open your bag and MacBook.

Since it is in Bluetooth reach most of the time when you'd need it, wouldn't it be awesome to have the MacBook battery visible on the widget on your iPhone as well? With Apple focussing on Handoff and Continuity, I think this would be a great addition. Thoughts?

How to Check All Your Apple Devices' Battery Levels With One Widget | Lifehacker
June 9, 2025 - Allow me to introduce you to Cloud Battery: The app is free to download, and, when set up, can sync the battery levels for all connected devices into one, easy-to-view list. You can use it as an app, a widget, a menu bar utility, or an Apple Watch complication. To start, you’ll need to download the Cloud Battery app to all compatible devices. That includes iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS. Note: While there is a downloadable watchOS app, your Apple Watch should automatically add Cloud Battery as an app when you download it to your connected iPhone.

How to Check iPhone Battery Percentage from a Mac
January 16, 2024 - Under Personal Hotspot, see the name of your iPhone and look at the battery indicator to the right to see how much battery charge your iPhone has remaining. And that’s it! You don’t actually have to have Personal Hotspot enabled on your iPhone for this to show up on your Mac, as long as both devices use the same iCloud account and your iPhone is within Bluetooth range.

Battery Widget 2.0 for macOS, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch 2022 REVIEW
Batteries Widget gives you two options – the simple interface or the graphical interface. The graphical interface provides the user with an image that represents the device. As far as accuracy goes, I’ve noticed that the iPhone level and MacBook levels are always correct. There are some issues with the Apple Watch connection though. You will also see in my screenshots that the Apple Watch shows a level of 31% on ... DESIGN: I like the design of the widget, but think that it needs updates to provide access to different features such as the sharing feature. EASE OF USE: The app seems to be easy

r/MacOS on Reddit: Is there a way to display Battery Levels of All Apple Devices on MacBook (with a Widget)?
August 6, 2023 -

Hey,

is there a way to show battery levels of all my Apple devices on my MacBook? The menu bar only displays the MacBook's battery percentage. I'd love a widget or feature to quickly see my iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch battery levels without checking each one separately.
Most solutions online involve third-party apps or complex setups. Any native or built-in methods out there? Hidden feature or shortcut, perhaps?

Thanks!
