BatFi – Increase Your Mac's Battery Lifespan

Need a straightforward way to keep your Mac's battery healthy while it's plugged in?

Meet BatFi, a native and lightweight app that simplifies battery management.

With BatFi, you set a charging limit once, and then you can forget about it. The app takes care of preventing overcharging, helping to extend your battery's lifespan. And whenever you need a full charge, a single command from the menu lets you charge to 100% manually.

BatFi combines sleek design with effortless functionality, seamlessly fitting into macOS. It's the simple, effective solution for maintaining your Mac's battery health.

🔋 Why do I need it?

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:

• Set It and Forget It: Configure once and BatFi manages your battery in the background.

• Automatic Charging Inhibition: Starts with your Mac and monitors your battery level. When it hits your set threshold (default 80%), it stops charging to preserve battery health.
• 100% Charge Option: When you need full power, a single click lets you charge to 100%.
• Notifications: Alerts for charging mode changes and quick battery stats access.
• Customizable Status Icon: A sleek icon that shows charging status and battery percentage.
• Stats: View power usage, high energy apps, battery health, and more.
