About AlDente

AlDente lets you control how a MacBook charges. You can set a charge limit so the battery does not sit at full charge all the time, which is meant to extend its lifespan when the laptop is mostly plugged in.

It is made by AppHouseKitchen, which also publishes the Leftovers downloads organiser. There is a free download, and the developer offers paid plans with more features.
