Purchases, Licensing & Privacy

It is 100% a one-time purchase ("Buy Once, Own Forever").

We do not charge recurring monthly or annual subscription fees. When you purchase any application from futomi Co., Ltd. on the Microsoft Store, you own a lifetime license including all future updates and improvements.

Yes, on up to 10 Windows devices!

Because all our applications are certified and distributed via the official Microsoft Store, your purchase is bound to your personal Microsoft Account. You can download and run your apps on your desktop, laptop, and tablet devices without purchasing additional licenses.

Paid tools in the fTool series (such as Battery Monitor, BLE Scanner Pro, and Media Converter) offer a 7-Day Free Trial through the Microsoft Store.

You can test all Pro features with zero limitations. After the trial period expires, you can choose whether to purchase the one-time license. Free edition variants (Lite editions) remain permanently free to use.

Zero data collection. 100% local processing.

None of our applications send your personal files, media, battery telemetry, or network scan packets to remote servers. All computation executes locally on your hardware. We do not use third-party analytics trackers in our desktop apps.

fTool Battery Monitor

To conserve energy, modern wireless Bluetooth accessories (such as mice, keyboards, and headphones) enter deep sleep when inactive.

As soon as you interact with the device (moving the mouse, typing, or playing sound), Windows wakes the Bluetooth Battery Service (BAS) and pushes the updated battery telemetry to fTool Battery Monitor.

See our guide: How to Check AirPods Battery on Windows 11 & 10.

fTool Battery Monitor supports major gaming controllers over Bluetooth and official wireless adapters, including:

  • Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense and DualSense Edge
  • Sony PlayStation 4 DualShock 4
