For the Macbook Pro, how would you create a script in which an alarm goes off when the power cord is disconnected?
I've got a Mac OS status bar app written in Python here that could easily be modified to do this. It uses rumps to create the status bar app and psutil to monitor the plugged/unplugged state and charge status. I use it to remind me to plug in the charger when charge gets below a certain level and unplug the charger when charge gets above a certain level. Here's how to get the plugged in status (which you could check periodically on a loop)

Create a menubar app for macOS, just using Python
As we have seen it’s easy to create simple menu bar apps like this. A whole lot of things can be built on top of this as it gives you the power to trigger Python functions so easily. We can make a music controller, a server monitor, to see if a program is running, stopwatch, CPU meters, flight position trackers, Internet speed tests, just to name a few.
