Calendr VS AlDente-Charge-Limiter

In terms of calendar management, I personally think that the Apple Calendar app is excellent. I use it to manage my course schedules, appointments, and family reservations. Additionally, I use an open-source menu bar app called Calendr to replace the default date and time on my Mac.

Looks like there's a decent CLI tool for it, but being a Mac guy I'm of course going for the slick GUI app https://apphousekitchen.com. The developer came up with a really clever incentive for free-app users to upgrade to the Pro version: make the icons for the free version unbelievably ugly. (The design of the app itself is excellent)

2. Aldente

"Special care" on OS X is to use Al Dente.app, which limits the charge at 80% so as to not damage the battery.

I use an app called AlDente that allows you to cap your battery's charge https://apphousekitchen.com/

download AlDente and your battery will thank you. If you have it plugged in most of the time limit the charge to 80% and AlDente will stop charging beyond that.

Just a shame keeping the battery at 100% will degrade its health over time. I would love an option to keep it at 50% most of the time, just like my MacBook with AlDente.

It's not possible to set a hard limit in macOS without third party utility like AlDente [1].

I was referring to the built-in "Optimised battery charging" feature. When this is active and has decided it will cap charging at 80%, you get a "charge to full now" option in the battery menu.

I was told to get this app to help maximize battery life as it keep it within 30-80% charge instead of 100%. Would this app help prolong the battery life?
