Score: 6.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 4)

A native macOS menu bar app that monitors and controls the Anker Prime 160W charger over local Bluetooth LE, showing live power stats, port management, and charging history without cloud dependency. It's interesting for its reverse-engineered BLE protocol implementation and polished native macOS UI, though limited to a single charger model.

Target audience: macOS users with Anker Prime 160W charger, hardware tinkerers
