Manage and extend the life of your Mac's battery with BatFi, a powerful yet simple battery management software designed exclusively for macOS. BatFi keeps a close eye on your battery's percentage and charging state, offering intelligent control to ensure optimal battery performance and longevity.
? 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.
- 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.
- 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.
👩?🔬👨?🔬 Additional Advanced Features:
- Intelligent Heat Management: BatFi prevents battery damage by disabling charging when the battery temperature exceeds 35°C or higher. Protect your battery from overheating and maintain its health with ease.
- Discharge Battery Control: If your battery happens to be charged beyond its recommended limit, BatFi provides the ability to discharge it to a more optimal level, ensuring it stays within safe boundaries.
- Sleep Delay Functionality: Worried about your Mac going to sleep while your battery is still charging? BatFi allows you to delay automatic sleep if the charging process is ongoing. This ensures your system remains awake until the charging is paused, preventing charging to 100% during sleep and preserving battery health.

Comments and Reviews
Batfi is free for personal use (with a name your price model) and offers more features than the free version of AlDente but less than AlDente Pro. Which makes it a very attractive alternative for anyone that's turned off by AlDente's price tag. Batfi also has a very nice looking UI that makes it feel like a natural extension of the OS.
