Requirements: macOS 12 or later · Apple Silicon

Launch Watt

Recommended: Launch at login

In the Watt Settings tab, enable Launch at Login. This is recommended — extensions need Watt running to execute long-running or periodic tasks (e.g. automatically collecting competitor information in the background). You can also run it as a background tray app with no dock icon.
