Made by Appyfriends, the French startup alerts your friends when your [battery is about to run out](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamless). This could help manage scenarios where you are mid-conversation and your phone is about to die, or would otherwise need to let others know your battery status. As soon as your battery runs out, your friends are sent a notification, so there can be no confusion when they are left hanging. Promising to "improve your life in 60 seconds," the Follow My Battery app requires users to pick a friend and define a message and battery threshold. From there, they can relax. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Battery Life Monitoring:** Opportunity for apps or devices that monitor battery life and send notifications to friends or family when the battery is low or about to die. - **Communication Management:** Potential for tools or platforms that help manage communication scenarios where the user's phone battery is about to die, keeping others informed and avoiding misunderstandings. - **Personal Emergency Notification:** Room for apps or services that automatically alert selected contacts in case of a potential emergency or critical situation, leveraging the phone's battery status as a trigger. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Apps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for mobile app developers to create battery monitoring and communication management apps like Follow My Battery. - **Tech Accessories:** Possibility for tech accessory companies to develop devices or accessories that enhance battery life monitoring and communication management functionalities. - **Personal Safety Services:** Emerging sector for personal safety service providers to integrate battery status alerts as part of their emergency notification solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Friendship Management Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sooncall.md) - [Family Safety Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-safety-app.md) - [Phone Locator Alerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingerfind.md) - [Important Sharing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-finhapp.md) - [Battery-Protecting Charger Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leo-battery-life-extender.md) - [Emergency Distress Signals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sos-light-app.md) - [Safety-Focused Phone Tracking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-monitor.md) - [Personal Safety Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-n-case.md) - [Missing Child App Alerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Findmykids-App.md)
