AlDente overview

AlDente allows you to limit your MacBook from charging above a certain percentage. This will not only decrease Battery wear but also increase longevity of your Battery.

Features:

Charge Limiter allows you to set your maximum charging percentage between 20 and 100 percent. You can either set it by using the slide bar or by typing in the desired percentage in the field above and pressing enter afterwards.
Discharge - This feature allows your MacBook to run completely on Battery even if it is plugged in. Therefore, you can actively discharge your MacBook to a more healthy percentage. Unfortunately, while Discharge is activated, clamshell mode is not supported due to technical limitations.

AlDente comes in two service levels: Free and Pro. Compare the plans.

What’s new in version 1.35.1

We completely forgot to assign a noodle type to the original 1.35 release. We are incredibly sorry and ashamed about that. This being said, we are proud to announce that this version will be named after a particularly exotic and rare noodle: Spaghetti. If you happen to get the chance to try one, we definitely recommend that.
Improved the UI for the Chinese Simplified Language.
Many smaller fixes and improvements.

Fixed a bug that caused schedule tasks to be executed many times in a row after executing once.
Fixed a bug in the Low Power Mode Tint Setting for High Power Mode MacBooks.
Fixed a bug in the Low Power Mode Setting of AlDente.

Full redesign of the settings layout.
Battery Health Stats and the Battery Cycles graph are now also available for all users using the free version of AlDente. Check them out in the AlDente Dashboard.
Major stability and memory consumption improvements, especially when AlDente has been running fo a long time.
Fixed brief spike artifacts in Dashboard graphs by smoothing short-interval outliers for a steadier view.
Many more fixes and improvements.

We’ve added a Power Consumption graph to the Dashboard. You can toggle between Instant usage and Average usage over the last 5, 15, or 30 minutes. There’s also a new Time Remaining estimate that updates in real time, calculated from the selected consumption window and your current charge.
The charge limit slider is now disabled during Calibration Mode.
Improved the license activation timeout.
Added the modification of the charge limit through settings.
Added an overview of available Apple shortcuts for AlDente.
Implemented a setting to pause background updates when the AlDente Dashboard window is not in focus.
Implemented a setting to choose which apps are displayed in the "Apps Using Significant Energy" list, depending on their energy consumption.
Added a lower limit for the Heat Protection feature to avoid stopping the charging process below 20%.
The Charge Limit over time is now also included in the Battery Level graph.

The software cannot be used under the 26.0 system. Why hasn’t it been updated yet?

Hello Can someone help with this? How do I buy the Pro Lifetime Version? I click on Buy Now, and it asks me to read and check the boxes for all the terms and conditions, which I did, and then it sends me back to the same page with all the buying options. It's a constant loop and won't let me buy it. There is no contact or email support (which is concerning) and that's why I'm here. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Been using it for almost 2 years, very useful app, keeps the mac always charged without impacting the battery. One of the best utilities to use for my MacBook

I paid for this is a terrific app, and it works exactly as described, has a great interface, and gets updated regularly. Holds my MacBook Pro battery at my preferred 70%, and works remarkably well considering the trickiness of operating with Apple's protections and restrictions. Ignore the dorky complaints about it not working during an update – first of all, who cares? It won't kill your battery to get fully charged once-in-a-while; this is utility that protects your battery in the long-term. Secondly, of course it's not going to work when it's not running. I wish there was an iOS version for my iPhone and iPad!
