como
is a minimalistic utillity to monitor your battery.
Why como?
The answer is simple: Alessandro Volta grew up in the town of Como and since he invented the battery I thought it would be a great name.
With como you can check out how your battery is doing.
You can easily automate
this process so that you don't need to worry about it.
Every once in a while you can quickly check out your battery info
.
You can export
this data into the portable .csv
format and import
it again later.
You can even import data form another battery utility such as coconutBattery.
Most importantly you can take all this to the next level, if you choose to do so.
Upload
your battery data to the como web application to check everything out in a nice interface wherever you are.
You can always easily open
your computer's personal page.
It's as simple as that:
$ pip install como
Afterwards run the init
command to get everything setup and stop worrying.
$ como init
