Low Power Mode only on Battery ? #1226

Open Write opened 1 month ago

Write commented 1 month ago

Hello,

I had set my LPM Mode to be set only when on battery, sure enough macOS thinks it's on battery when AlDente prevent macOS to charge.

Would it be possible for AlDente to "know" if the Mac is actually connected and disable / enable automatically LPM when the mac really is on battery ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi @Write,

Good idea, we will try to implement something like that in one of the upcoming updates.

Best, Matthias

I have the opposite problem. I enable the high power mode when plugged in, and when I plug out I would expect that the machine would default back to low power mode. Having to remember constantly to switch to low power mode when I unplug is quite a hassle.

Could there be a some other option for the low power mode? Low power mode On / Auto / Off

Just to be sure : You said you have the opposite problem, but what you described is exactly what I would like.
