Battery Autopilot's AI learns how you use your Mac and runs power and charging on autopilot — applying only the savings that measurably work, guarding charge at 80%, and topping up right before you leave. You see the result daily: “+47 min extended today”.

Keeping a lithium-ion battery full while plugged in causes chemical stress that permanently eats capacity. High charge plus heat is the worst combination.
An official MacBook battery replacement runs roughly $150–300 depending on the model. Wear can't be undone — protection starts with how you charge today.
Dimming screens, quitting apps, plugging and unplugging — human optimization lasts about three days. A 24/7 decision job like this belongs to AI.
Collects power, app and charging patterns on-device
Tries power-saving actions and measures the real ΔW on your Mac
Automatically applies only the actions proven to work, best first
Logs results as “+minutes” and learns your preferences from manual overrides
An LLM (OpenAI / Claude) helps plan strategy — but only decisions that pass local safety guardrails are ever applied.
SMC-level control pauses charging at 80% (adjustable), with a continuity guard that detects and self-heals OS overrides — plus a failsafe that always charges when the battery is low.
It applies brightness, Low Power Mode and background-app throttling, then measures the real wattage difference on your Mac. Only actions that actually help get learned and automated. Your foreground apps are never touched.
It learns when you usually unplug and works backwards — 80% for battery health most of the time, 100% when you head out.
“+47 min extended today” lives in your menu bar. Turn it into a results card and share it to social media in one click.

Your Mac's power draw, the measured effect (ΔW) of each power-saving action, charge/unplug time patterns, and your preferences from manual overrides. All learning and decisions happen on-device.
It writes standard keys on the Mac's power controller (SMC) — the same approach as well-known charge limiters. The app is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple, and a failsafe restores normal charging on quit or errors.
The built-in feature only “tries” to hold 80% when your routine is predictable, with no limit setting and no guarantee. Battery Autopilot stops charging at your chosen limit (80% by default) and self-heals if anything overrides it.
Beyond the charge limit, one AI engine adds measured, learned power savings, departure-aware full charging, and visible, shareable “+minutes extended” results.

All learning happens on your Mac. Backup telemetry is synced under an anonymous ID and is never sold or used for advertising.
Lithium-ion batteries wear faster when held at high charge — an 80% limit is the established way to avoid that stress. On top of it, AI power savings reduce drain itself, verifiable daily as “+minutes extended”.
