macOS lacks longitudinal per-app battery usage tracking
macOS users who want to identify battery-draining apps can only see instantaneous usage snapshots in Activity Monitor, with no historical view across hours or days. Battery management tools like AlDente focus on charge control but not power attribution. Users cannot identify which apps caused battery drain during a specific period without third-party profiling tools.
