MacPowerAlert

MacPowerAlert is a macOS application that monitors your Mac's battery status and notifies you when the battery is at 20% or 80%.

Installation

1. Make sure you have Xcode installed on your system.
2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/your-username/MacPowerAlert.git
3. Open the project in Xcode: open MacPowerAlert.xcodeproj
4. Configure build settings and select "My Mac" as the target device.
5. Build the project.

Usage

1. Launch the application.
2. The app will start monitoring the battery status every minute.
3. You'll receive notifications when the battery is at 20% or 80%.

Why avoid discharging below 20% and charging above 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.
