When you’re running on battery power, you want to make sure your Mac is using as little energy as possible. But there are plenty of times when you don’t want your system to go to sleep.
Check out these Mac Menu Bar Battery Apps:
Energiza Pro
Energiza Pro allows you to control battery charging by setting individual charging limits. At any time you can start charging and even discharging (requires Apple M1 chip or later) with a click of a button.
There’s also a free version.
Clapet
Clamshell mode on your MacBook allows you to keep your Mac awake when you close the lid but it only works when a power adapter is connected.
This menu bar app aims to solve this problem by allowing clamshell mode even on battery.
M1 Battery Management
With this menu bar app it is possible to keep a chronically plugged in M1 Macbook at 80% battery, since that will prolong the longevity of the battery. This app will not work on non-M1 macs. In that case try the free version of AlDente.
