AlDente Pro is the premium, paid version of the highly popular battery management utility designed exclusively for MacBook computers. Its core function is to give users manual, granular control over their battery's charge level, which helps to extend the lifespan and health of the lithium-ion battery.
It goes beyond Apple's built-in "Optimized Battery Charging" by allowing the user to set a precise limit.
Pro Features
The free version of AlDente provides the basic Charge Limiter and Discharge features, but the Pro license unlocks critical automation and protection tools:

Feature
Status Charge Limiter Set a precise maximum charging percentage (e.g., 80%) to stop charging and run directly on wall power.
Free Discharge Forces the MacBook to run on battery power even when plugged in, allowing you to drop the charge level down to your desired limit.
Free Heat Protection Automatically stops charging if the battery temperature rises above a user-defined threshold, preventing heat-induced battery wear.
PRO Exclusive Sailing Mode Sets a range (e.g., 75%–80%). Once charged to 80%, the battery is allowed to slowly drain to 75% before charging is allowed again. This minimizes charging cycles.
PRO Exclusive Calibration Mode Automatically runs a full charge/discharge cycle (e.g., 100% to 10% back to 100%) to maintain accurate battery capacity readings.
PRO Exclusive Scheduled Calibration Automates the full calibration cycle to run regularly (e.g., monthly) without user intervention.
PRO Exclusive Top Up Mode Quickly charges the battery to 100% one time when you know you'll be mobile, then returns to the set limit afterward.
PRO Exclusive Live Stats Access detailed, real-time insights into your battery's health, temperature, cycle count, and power consumption.
PRO Exclusive MagSafe LED Control Allows you to control the color of the MagSafe LED to better indicate the current charging state.
AlDente Pro is a highly recommended tool for users who keep their MacBooks plugged into a power adapter or external display for extended periods, as it mitigates the accelerated battery degradation caused by constantly sitting at 100% charge
Platform: Exclusively for MacBooks (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models).
Operating System: Requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later (supports Apple Silicon M-series and Intel models).
Compatibility: It is recommended to disable Apple's Optimized Battery Charging feature in macOS settings to avoid conflicts with AlDente's controls.
