How does it work?
You install and run the Carat app on your mobile phone, tablet, or music player. (We currently support iOS and Android platforms.) The app intermittently takes measurements about your device and how it is being used. These measurements are sent to our servers, which throw them into a big statistical stew and try to infer how devices are using energy and under what circumstances. The results of these analyses are then sent back to the app, which can give you feedback and actionable advice about how to improve your battery life.
Carat collects instrumentation data from the community of devices where it is installed. The data is processed by the Carat Server, and stored. Our Spark-powered analysis tool extracts key statistical values and metrics from the data. These are shown in the reports in the Carat App, and used to recommend actions for increased battery life and better user experience.
