Overview of AlDent for macOS

Li-ion batteries (like the one in your MacBook) last the longest when operated between 20% and 80%. Keeping your MacBook plugged in constantly can degrade your BBattery's health. This tool helps you manage your charging cycles to keep your BBattery in the sweet spot, ensuring it lasts longer and performs better.

Features of AlDent for macOS

• Charge Limiter
  AlDente allows you to limit your MacBook from charging above a certain percentage. This will not only decrease Battery wear but also increase the longevity of your Battery.
• Discharge
  This feature allows your MacBook to run entirely on Battery, even if plugged in. Therefore, you can actively discharge your MacBook to a healthier percentage.
• Heat Protection
  Charging your BBattery while its temperature is high results in faster battery degradation. With Heat Protection enabled, charging will automatically stop when your battery temperature is too high.
• Calibration Mode
  Keeping your BBattery at a lower percentage, such as 20-70%, over weeks without doing complete cycles can disturb battery calibration. To avoid this, you must complete a cycle at least once a month. With Calibration Mode activated, AlDente will perform a cycle (15%-100%) independently.
• Sailing Mode
  Usually, your MacBook battery will charge and discharge slightly to stay at a desired SoC, even when the Charge Limiter is activated. With Sailing Mode, setting a "sailing" range in which the BBattery will stay is possible. Example: Sailing Mode is set between 75% and 80%. After charging 80%, It will automatically let the BBattery fall back to 75% over time. When 75% is reached, it will charge back to 80%
• Hardware Battery percentage
  Don't let macOS lie to you; use the accurate Hardware Battery Percentage that the battery management system reports.
• Automatic Discharge
  This new feature builds on top of the popular feature Discharge by automatically discharging the MacBook when the set Charge Limit in AlDente is lower than the current battery percentage.
• TOP UP
  You have planned a long working session with no access to a plug? No worries, with TOP UP, activated, AlDente will charge your BBattery to 100% once.
• Apple Shortcuts Support
  Shortcuts allow you to add automation and configure AlDente the way you want. If you like to read more about the Apple Shortcuts app and what you can do with it, click the icon above.
• Control MagSafe LED
  This new feature brings the ability to AlDente Pro to control the color of the MagSafe LED to better indicate the current charging state of your MacBook battery.
• Stop Charging When Sleeping​
  With "Stop charging when sleeping" activated, AlDente will pause charging before your MacBook sleeps. Therefore, charging will not continue even when it is in sleep.
• Right-Click
  With Right-Click, you can pause and start charging with a right-click on the menu bar icon of AlDente Pro. With the first click, you change the charge limit to the current battery percentage, and with the second click, you change the charge limit to 100%.
• Discharge in Clamshell Mode
  Want to use Discharge while your MacBook is in clamshell mode? In AlDente Pro, we could add the capability of Discharge working even in clamshell mode.
• Live Status Icons
  Please keep track of everything happening with your BBattery with our live update menu bar icons, which differentiate four states: Connected and Charging, Connected and Charging Paused, Connected and Discharging, and Discharging.
