+<h1 align="center">Battery Monitor</h1>
+
+This project is written on and for Apple Silicon MacBooks running Asahi Linux. 
+
+The purpose is two-fold: give the user more data about their battery performance, and give the user options to optimize their battery. 
+From the first purpose, eventually the daemon and it's corresponding commands will allow for the user to get estimates of their time 
+remaining, implement power-saving modes, optimization suggestions, and other features that are built-in to MacOS.
+
+**Note**: An interesting trend does emerge from initial testing, the battery usage and charging appears to be a stepped linear function.
+
+### TODO
+    [ ] Gather all relavent information for the daemon: display backlight, keyboard backlight, running applications, etc.
+    [ ] Implement the GUI graph with GTK.
+        [ ] Estimated time remaining section.
+        [ ] Power-saving recommendations
+    [ ] Battery-mon daemon on startup.
+    [ ] Calculate estimated time remaining based upon historical data.
+
+### INSTALLATION
+    git clone https://github.com/quaxlqueen/battery-mon
+    cd ./battery-mon
+    ./make
