Hi Product Hunt, I am one of the developers of AlDente Pro. After the battery of my MacBook died just after a year because it was plugged in at 100% most of the time, we knew we had to do something about it and the idea for AlDente was born. Why do I need AlDente Pro? Li-ion and polymer batteries (like the one in your MacBook) last the longest when operated between 20% and 60%. Keeping your battery at 100% most of the time will significantly shorten the lifespan of your MacBooks battery and replacing an old battery is not only harmful to the environment but also costs up to $ 199. With AlDente installed, you can set a charging limit in a more healthy charging range, and with more features like Sailing Mode or Heat Protection, you can keep your battery healthy even longer.

@apphousekitchen Where you got this 20% - 60% be the same range statement? I hope it's documented somewhere by Apple.

@huskimad @apphousekitchen Battery life is really an issue, especially on my iPad’s gen 5 - where battery is almost dead. Hope I’ve had this app before There are lots of Battery apps on PH. But this one has great, native Ui! Gratz !
