![]() To download Aldente, visit the studio site. To save a Mac for more than 1000 euros, it is certainly worth it… Note that the app is also part of the SetApp pack. It’s up to you whether the free version of AlDente is sufficient, or whether you want to upgrade to the 11 euro per year subscription or the 24 euro one-time purchase. The paid version also offers the possibility of activating or deactivating the charging of a connected Mac in one click, as well as certain personalization elements. You will then have a more accurate battery percentage. The app can also make sure the Mac’s “lung” calibration stays good by loading it fully from time to time. After eight more months of docking, the battery condition is at 100 according to Apple's own dialog, and 98.5 according to Coconut Battery. The utility can for example turn off the MacBook from charging when the battery is too hot, another early degradation factor. After 2 months I installed AlDente, bought the Pro version too to support the developer, set the max charge level to 80. So that’s all well and good, but Aldente doesn’t stop there. But rest assured, you can still run AlDente in “ Intel Mode”, an option that even allows Windows to be used via BootCamp. ![]() The developer explains that the M1 or M2 models are better managed. The built-in MacOS charge limiter doesn't work for this model. Actually it's the second battery because the first one swelled up as well. To take advantage of it, you therefore need a recent Mac as mentioned above, but also macOS Big Sur or more recent. It had a new battery installed recently because of a recall. sure, apple could make it so hitting 100 battery means its actually only 80 charged, making the endurance of the battery much. when a macbook hits 100, its actually hitting maybe 95 of the true full capacity, and when a macbook hits 0 its actually hitting 5 battery. ![]() However, you need to follow a couple of steps to get it to work properly. apple engineers already DO build this in. It is activated by default and you do not need to change any setting in AlDente. And every time your computer reaches the 80% limit, AlDente switches to battery power mode until it reaches the configured low limit. Since version 1.15 AlDente supports Apple’s Fast User Switching. With Aldente, you can also force your MacBook to run on battery power when connected to a charger. It should be remembered that lithium batteries do not like to be completely discharged or fully charged. I discovered AlDente thanks to an earlier Reddit thread. By specifying 20% and 80%, you can conserve your computer’s battery by using it at an optimal range. Even if AlDente extends my battery lifespan by 25, I don’t feel like it’s worth the additional annoyance. Battery replacements aren’t too expensive. With the default macOS stuff, it’s not necessary. The free version of AlDente has a flagship feature, the configuration of a low limit and a high limit to regulate the load of your MacBook. AlDente comes with some maintenance stuff that you have to do occasionally if you don’t want the calibration thrown way off.
