Description:

Maintaining a lithium-ion battery at a high state of charge can significantly reduce its lifespan. Although macOS offers a feature that automatically postpones charging the battery to 100%, it lacks user control. This automated approach relies on machine learning to adapt to user habits, leaving users without the ability to determine when and how long the charging should be delayed. Consequently, this solution may not be effective for users with irregular computer usage patterns or for devices frequently connected to power sources, such as monitors like Apple's Studio Display or Pro Display XDR.
On the other hand, BatFi works differently. The app allows you to set a user-chosen limit for charging the battery and maintain it indefinitely. With BatFi, you have the flexibility to decide when to charge the battery to 100% based on your usage needs.

Key Features
Automatic Charging Inhibition
BatFi launches with your system and actively monitors your battery percentage. Once the charging state reaches a threshold (set by you or defaulting to 80%), the app automatically inhibits further charging when your computer is connected to an AC adapter. By avoiding full charges, BatFi helps extend your battery's performance over the long term.
Convenient 100% Charge Option
Need maximum battery life for a specific task? BatFi provides a dedicated command in the menu accessible from the status bar icon. With a single click, you can charge your battery to 100% for those times when you require extra power.
Informative Notifications
Stay informed about changes in your charging mode through BatFi's notifications. Receive alerts when your charging state transitions and get instant access to battery details by clicking on the status item icon. View essential information like battery percentage, estimated time remaining, battery cycle count, battery temperature, power source status, and overall battery health.
Customizable Status Icon
BatFi's status icon is both functional and visually appealing. Customize the icon to your liking and enjoy the battery symbol with percentage and charging status displayed elegantly. Witness super cool animations as the state changes, adding a touch of excitement to your battery monitoring experience.
Set It and Forget It
BatFi takes care of your battery management effortlessly. Once you've configured your preferred settings, the app works seamlessly in the background, requiring no further intervention. Simply set it up and let BatFi handle the rest.
