I need some info about this app, because I'm new with it. In settings I see prevent sleep true, why can't you change that option on false?

Hi @1111Al,

You can find detailed documentation of all the features on our blog here: https://apphousekitchen.com/category/featureexplanation/

Cheers, Matthias

Ok thanks, I haven't been able to find anything about reinstall helper option, what is it.

[MatthiasKerbl]

In order to work properly AlDente needs a helper application. Some users had issues with the helper application so it made sense to reinstall it. Therefore, we included this option to simplify the helper reinstall process.

Ok, I'm trying it, I set limit to 80%, but the battery keep charging up to 100%. Macbook Pro 2014 intel, Big Sur.

The last one.

Solved, now it seems to work. Now I will be monitoring it, to see how the situation evolves, if there are no problems with this app. It is certain that the free version is very poor with options.
Thanks for support

Maybe I found a bug, I changed the max level from 80% to 60% if I put the Mac in sleep the app works correctly, but after I turn off the Macbook (with battery at 75%) when I turned it on, the battery has started charging up to the previous set level of 80%. It looks like the app forget last setting after shutting down the computer. I'm still monitoring the situation, but for the moment that has happened.
