AlDente

AlDente lets MacBook users set explicit limits on how much their battery can charge, keeping the charge level within a range that promotes longevity. By preventing the battery from staying at full capacity for extended periods, the tool aims to reduce wear and maintain peak performance over time.

The application includes additional utilities such as a discharge mode that runs the system on battery even while plugged in, heat protection that halts charging when temperature rises, and a calibration routine that performs full charge cycles automatically. For users who travel, a sailing mode defines a preferred charge window, and a statistics view provides detailed information about battery health and power usage.

All features are provided in an open‑source, stable release, with a free tier covering basic charge limiting and a pro tier that unlocks the advanced protections and monitoring tools. The software is targeted at MacBook owners who want granular control over their device’s power management.
