MacPowerAlert is a macOS application that monitors your Mac's battery status and notifies you when the battery is at 20% or 80%.
Keeping your Mac's battery between 20% and 80% charge can help extend the battery's lifespan. Recharging the battery when it's around 20% and stopping the charge when it reaches 80% can reduce stress on the battery and slow down the aging process.
