    Done a quick search and couldn't immediately see any similar threads...

    Looking for an app for my 2011 MBP.

    An app the monitors the battery and reminds when I've to calibrate etc - there are many apps like this for the iPhone but none (that I can see) that do the same for a MBP.

    A search threw up Coconut Battery, Watts etc but just looking for recommendations...

    As far as I know, there is no way to calibrate the battery on recent Macbooks.
    Another vote here for Coconut though when it comes to monitoring.

    It says 2009 and later on the Apple site?

    Yes. Pre '09 batteries needed calibration.
