Can you put this in a downloadable app? Because I don't use x-code and my space is small in my MBA 2011.

@Donothir Hi

You can use alternatives with GUI, they packed in standalone app: charge-limiter and BatteryStatusShow

XCode is not required for using this script, only command-line tools required. You can install it with xcode-select --install or download from https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

THX! I didn't knew.

You could put this on your presentation page in a more usefriendly way. Us, non-programmers, are sometimes a little bit dumb regarding command-line usage...

If it was more "step-by-step", I'm pretty sure some people would be thankful.

Edit: Pyton3 instructions...

How to install Python3 is missing, I didn't had brew, so it was hard to install it. I had to use this command to install Homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Sould be included with your instructions, something like:

If you don't have any experience in command line usage, you must use Python and the command line tools. Using terminal, put the following commands to install all necessary files: Python (you must install Homebrew first, then you can install Python v.3)

  1. sudo ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  2. sudo brew install python3

Command-line Tools (from Apple Xcode)

  1. xcode-select --install

Once it's done, you can run the script in terminal from the directory in which main.py is located. See readme for details.

@Donothir Ok, i'll add some additional instructions into README
