Your MacBook has a few features built in toensure that its battery’s health stays intact.
Battery Toolkitis the best free app I’ve found to manage your MacBook’s battery.
Some of these features require you to pay on other battery management apps,such as AlDente.
Battery management apps are best used by people who like to keep their MacBook plugged in all the time.
In these situations, plugging in and unplugging the Mac repeatedly to prevent overcharging is a little cumbersome.
