Automatic Discharge
Smart Feature
Automatically discharges your MacBook when the Charge Limit is lower than the current battery percentage
95%

Effectiveness

When the Charge Limit set is lower than the current battery percentage, Automatic Discharge will automatically discharge your MacBook to the target level. Once reached, charging switches to paused mode.

Eliminates the need for manual activation of Discharge
AlDente takes care of the discharge process automatically
Automatically disabled during Calibration Mode
Stop anytime by increasing the Charge Limit
Calibration Mode
Essential
One-click battery recalibration to maintain accurate charge readings
90%

Effectiveness

Your MacBook's battery management system can lose track of true capacity over time. Calibration Mode runs a complete charge-discharge cycle to realign readings with actual battery capacity.

Automatic cycle: Charge → Discharge → Charge → Pause → Restore
Prevents battery miscalibration symptoms
Recommended every 3-6 weeks for plugged-in MacBooks
Temporarily suspends heat protection for faster cycling
Charge Limiter
Core Feature
Set which charge level your MacBook should hold when plugged in
100%

Effectiveness

Set your desired charge limit and AlDente will pause charging when reached. Studies show that keeping lithium-ion batteries between 50-80% significantly extends their lifespan.

Pause charging at desired level
Use Discharge feature to reduce current level
Best charge limit: 50-80% for longevity
Control MagSafe LED
Visual Feedback
Control the color of your MagSafe LED to indicate charging state
88%

Effectiveness

Better visual indication of your MacBook's charging state. Green means you've reached your charge limit, orange means charging is in progress. Supported on both MagSafe 2 and MagSafe 3 MacBooks.

Green LED = Charge limit reached
Orange LED = Charging or discharging toward limit
Option for blinking orange during discharge (MagSafe 3)
Always Off option to disable LED completely
Disable Sleep until Charge Limit
Convenience
Keep your MacBook awake until the charge limit is reached
85%

Effectiveness

When your MacBook sleeps, third-party apps can't control charging. This feature prevents sleep until your charge limit is reached, ensuring your battery is at the optimal level when you need it.

Prevents sleep until target charge is reached
Display turns off when lid is closed
Sleep re-enables automatically when unplugged
Perfect for overnight charging
Discharge
Pro Feature
Optimize battery health by discharging to a healthier level while plugged in
92%

Effectiveness

When your current battery level is higher than your charge limit, activate Discharge to safely reduce the charge. AlDente internally disconnects the charger until the target level is reached.

Simulates unplugging your MacBook
Discharges to set charge limit
Automatically deactivates when complete
Extends battery lifespan by reducing cycling
Fast User Switching
Multi-User
Seamless battery management across multiple user accounts
87%

Effectiveness

Support for Apple's Fast User Switching. Each user can have their own charge limit settings. When switching users, AlDente Pro maintains the charge limit to prevent charging to 100%.

Install AlDente on each user account
Charge limits maintained across users
Pro version prevents brief charging periods
Takes 1-2 minutes to stabilize after switching
Hardware Battery Percentage
Accuracy
Read the real battery percentage directly from the battery management system
98%

Effectiveness

The battery percentage shown by macOS isn't the real hardware percentage. When enabled, AlDente reads the actual hardware battery percentage for more precise charging control.

More accurate than macOS battery percentage
Direct reading from battery management system
Usually differs by 2-7% from macOS display
All features use hardware percentage when enabled
Heat Protection
Safety
Automatically halt charging if battery temperature exceeds threshold
96%

Effectiveness

Heat is a primary cause of rapid battery wear. Heat Protection monitors battery temperature and automatically pauses charging if it rises above your set threshold, preventing permanent damage.

Stops charging when temperature exceeds limit
Recommended limit: 35°C
Hysteresis mechanism prevents frequent toggling
Automatically disabled during Calibration Mode
