Unplug Your Laptop Now, or It Will Stay Plugged in Forever
Apple took this out of Mac OS somewhat recently. You can try to rely on their power management, but given battery decay is a common reason to buy a new machine I don’t trust them really.
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac I can recommend Battery [1]. It can keep your Mac at 80%, and even force discharge while plugged in to get there. It’s a CLI and status bar utility, I love it.

BatteryKid – yet another macOS charge limiter
After trying Battery (https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery, it is Electron UI, big in size), I created batteryKid (https://github.com/alaneuler/batteryKid) with native Swift as a coding exercise out of curiosity.

Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
FYI, on Apple Silicon Apple included a firmware-level "hard-switch" to limit the charge to 75/80% only. It was discovered by marcan while working on Asahi and in my experience it's much more convenient than the built-in ML-based solution (and also less hacky and bloated than AlDente).
See this discussion on GitHub[0] for the explanation and this snippet[1] for easy use.

Does anyone know how to fix this or who to contact?
But not sure if its the same utility I use https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery Both commands: battery adapter off

Thoughts on Aldente Pro
Anyways, al dente didn’t do the job for me. I found this https://github.com/actuallymentor/battery it also discharges and keep it to whatever percentage you feel comfortable with with. So now it’s always on 80, which I prefer.
