GNOME Power Statistics

GNOME Power Statistics is a graphical utility designed to query and display power management data on Linux systems. Developed by Richard Hughes, the application reads information directly from system daemons to present historical and current statistics about battery charge, energy consumption rates, and device usage over time. Users can inspect detailed graphs depicting how power is consumed by various components, monitor battery health parameters, and view events related to AC adapter connection status. The interface provides a straightforward way to observe how system configurations impact overall energy depletion.

The program focuses strictly on observation and data reporting rather than active power profile configuration. It does not alter system settings, manage sleep states, or calibrate hardware. Because it relies heavily on specific kernel interfaces and the system power management framework, its availability and feature depth depend directly on the underlying hardware sensors and operating system implementation. It serves primarily as a diagnostic tool for users wishing to understand their hardware energy usage patterns through numerical charts and time-series graphs.
