About
WhatCable reads the port, the cable and the charger and explains them in plain language: how much power a cable can carry, whether it moves data or only current, and which device is holding a fast charge back. It covers USB-C, Thunderbolt and the MagSafe port, which is the answer to the drawer of unlabelled cables everyone owns. Free and open source, with an optional Pro licence.
