    I did find this which does seem to work on M1. But I haven't used it.

    There’s an open source tool that I use for that called AlDente. You can find it here.
  • Just noticed the new battery health management at work. I think my MacBook noticed that it never gets unplugged, so now it draws power straight from the charger and leaves the battery at 80%. Neat!

    For people not on Big Sur. I have been using AlDente for quite a while now. Manually set the percentage and the battery doesn’t go past that. Even in bootcamp.
  • Keeping my 16” in Clamshell mode a bad idea?

    As for battery-care I use AlDente to keep the battery from staying at 100% all the time.

  • This should be a permanent, customisable feature of every MacBook (and iPhone, iPad too!).

    Check out Al Dente for a way to easily customize this on mac. Especially useful if your laptop is staying plugged in all day for now.

    Weird, anyway AlDente's out on M1 now. https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente

    You can use different numbers instead of 60 and 80. Refer to https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente/issues/52#issuecomment-778110894 to understand the effect of the numbers you specify
