AlDente Pro 1.36.2 Portable for macOS
AlDente Pro 1.36.2 Portable for macOS was designed to help users maximize battery lifespan by preventing it from charging to 100%. This should help keep your battery in good shape for longer, and it’s something you can’t easily do on your own. Given how difficult and expensive it is to replace a battery on an Apple device, it’s understandable why people try to keep them running for as long as possible.
- Charge Limiter: AlDente allows you to limit your MacBook’s charging capacity 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 it is plugged in. Therefore, you can actively discharge your MacBook to a healthier percentage.
- Heat Protection: Charging your battery 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 battery at a lower percentage, such as 20-70%, over weeks without doing full cycles can result in a disturbed battery calibration. To avoid this, you just have to do a full cycle at least once a month. With Calibration Mode activated, AlDente will perform a cycle (15%-100%) on its own.
- Sailing Mode: Normally, your MacBooks battery will always charge and discharge slightly to stay at a desired SoC, even when the Charge Limiter is activated. With Sailing Mode, it is possible to set a “sailing” range in which the battery will stay. Example: Sailing Mode is set between 75% and 80%. After charging to 80% AlDente will automatically let the battery fall back to 75% over time. When 75% is reached, it will charge back to 80%
- Power Flow: Power Flow is a dynamic feature that uses a Sankey diagram to illustrate the power flow in your MacBook. It graphically displays how much power flows from your charger to the battery and MacBook or from the battery to your MacBook.
- Stats: AlDente’s new Stats feature provides detailed insights into your MacBook’s battery and power health, displaying key sensor data such as maximum battery capacity, temperature, system load, and more. This addition helps users monitor their device’s power performance, ensuring optimal battery management.
- Schedule: This feature allows users to set specific Actions in AlDente to run automatically on predetermined days, times, and intervals. For example, Calibration Mode can be set to run every two weeks.
- Hardware Battery percentage: Don’t let macOS lie to you, use the real Hardware Battery Percentage which 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 battery to 100% just one time.
- Apple Shortcuts Support: Shortcuts allows you to add automations and configure AlDente the way you want. If you want to read more about the Apple Shortcuts app and what you can do with it, click on 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 right before your MacBook goes into sleep. Therefore, charging will not continue even when it is in sleep.
- Right-Click: With Right-Click you can pause and start charging just 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 are changing 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: Keep track of everything what’s happening with your battery with our live update menu bar icons which differentiate four states: Connected and Charging, Connected and Charging Paused, Connected and Discharging, and Discharging.
