GNOME PowerTracker

GNOME PowerTracker is a simple application that helps users monitor their power consumption on GNOME-based systems.

• Does not use any dependency
• Autodetects battery (BAT0, BAT1, BATT: /sys/class/power_supply)
• You can configure refresh rate

IMPORTANT.

• This will only work with laptops. Afaik there's no simple way to track desktop power consumption
• Power when fully charged is 0W
• Power when charging has a plus sign
• Power when discharging has a minus sign

If you have any issue, please report it so I can take a look at it! Enjoy!
