Will you be supporting the new 16 m1 max MacBook pro (along with the updated operating system from Apple)?

BTW, I have been using AlDente Pro for a while now and I love it... It feels great to know that the battery is truly protected by the optimal charging strategy.

Thank you,

Hi @elihollander,

We are working on getting AlDente to work on the new M1 Pro and M1 Max MacBooks. However, we need to get our hands on these devices first before we can say anything more if AlDente will be supported.

Cheers,
Matthias

I'm really eager to save the battery on my new machine so I installed it taking a chance.

The UI doesn't work at all, there is nothing in the menu bar. But the process is running and I do believe it is working as I've disabled the macOS battery feature and my machine stopped charging at around 80% after installing it.
Busy working so didn't pay much attention to the process and what happened. However if I disable the Aldente process the battery starts charging. So at this point really the UI is the primary thing that is broken.

I'm working in app development myself while having limited time let me know if you'd like to me to investigate something. I'd be happy to help!

I'm on a 16" M1 Max currently connected to a Caldigit TS3+

edit: just saw #419 so maybe this is a macOS update issue. Seems to work fine for this machine anyway! :)

edit 2: seems to work fine! Just learned that the notch cuts off the menu bar items and they do not continue beneath or extend after it so after closing a few things Aldente was there and it's also seen on external monitor :)

Hi @goldcoders,

Take a look at this thread: #339
You can also try to completely reinstall AlDente. After reinstallation, it should work fine again.

Matthias

Hi @MatthiasKerbl

First of all thank you for making this app and responding promptly to the users! I was just wondering if I'm correct in understanding that the new 14" and 16" M1 Pro/Max MBPs are not yet officially supported, seeing that they are not on the "Is My MacBook Supported" list in the FAQ?

Many thanks!

General Question: Should I disable the integrated macOS Battery management? (optimised charging to 80%) I´m using the new MacBook Pro 14" with M1 Pro processor! (got it yesterday, an incredible machine)

PS: I browsed the web for years already to find your service, lol... DO MORE ADVERTISING, this is a more than useful tool and I would wish I found it earlier... My MacBook Air with M1 Battery is at 89% now after 11 months because of being plugged in all the time... :/

Greetings from Austria to Austria :)

Hi @jameszhan9592,

You are correct, the new 14" and 16" M1 Pro/Max MBPs are currently not supported.
However, we are in the process of testing AlDente on the new MacBooks and so far it looks good. If no bugs will arise until our testing is finished, we will definitely add support to the new MacBooks.

Cheers,
Matthias

Hi @ange335,

You should definitely deactivate the integrated macOS Battery management since it will interfere with AlDente.

I am glad you like our little app and we will definitely increase our marketing so more people can potentially increase their battery longevity.

Greetings to a fellow Austrian,
Matthias

Hi everyone,

I'm having multiple issues now after a few days of using my new machine. Not sure if I should write here or type up a new issue.

  1. Al Dente doesn't start when machine boots. I tried reinstalling etc. This is the biggest issue.
  2. The menu is still an issue. It's of course due to the notch and Apple's api. I've had to reorganize the icons in the bar to have aldente show up as I'm running istat etc. A good workaround for apps would be to offer a way to trigger the ui without a visible menu icon I guess?
  3. Weird reinstall loop when downloading the pro version. I downloaded the dmg of the latest build from github and it seems to become the pro version and recall my credentials which is great but I didn't know (the pro binary also originally had another name in the apps folder). However, when using the download link in the original purchase email it downloads the first al dente pro version and then it gets stuck in a weird loop

Hi @dstyp,

I am sorry that you experience some issues with AlDente.

  1. We have not experienced this issue at all. Please share more information about this. Does it happen every time or just sometimes? Was it like that from the beginning? Did you try to deactivate/activate launch at login for a while?
  2. It is kind of annoying that Apple chose to do it like that, hopefully, they will change it with an update. We are thinking of implementing the option of showing AlDente in the Dock as well.
  3. We updated all download links by now. Therefore, this issue should not occur anymore.

Cheers,
Matthias

Hello @MatthiasKerbl ,

Thanks for the reply and engaging. And thanks for making such an awesome app!

  1. Ok, weird. I will try some more. I haven't restarted too much but will look in to it when I have the possibility.
  2. Dock would be awesome! Hopefully Apple enhances the menu bar to include some kind of smart collapsing/expansion thing as well
  3. 👍

Thank you for your positive feedback and I am glad you enjoy our little tool.

  1. We could actually find a bug that resulted in launch at login not working properly for some users. A fix for this will be released in the next update.

Matthias
