Chargeberry changelog
Every Chargeberry release, newest first. The current version is 1.1.2, released November 1, 2026; the app updates itself.
Chargeberry checks for updates on its own and installs them with your OK, so you don’t need to come here to stay current. New releases also appear in the RSS feed.
According to Chargeberry’s own measurements of version 1.1.2, the app uses about 0.1% CPU (0.13% on average, 0.4% at its busiest moment) and 13 MB of memory while it sits in the menu bar, and its helper about 0.03% CPU and 7 MB.
1.1.2: Now sold through Gumroad
- Sold through Gumroad. New licenses come from Gumroad. Licenses bought before keep working, and nothing changes for people who already have Chargeberry.
1.1.1: Much lighter on your Mac
- Lighter on the CPU. After Battery Details was closed, its power diagram kept animating out of sight and could use a lot of CPU. Closed windows now stop completely, Chargeberry idles at well under 1% CPU, and the diagram only moves while you can see it.
1.1: Schedules, calibration, shortcuts and macOS 27
- macOS 27 support. On Macs where macOS 27 locks the charging controls, Chargeberry sets macOS’s own charge limit for you (80% to 100%), along with Charge to 100%, Full by and the rest.
- Full by, on a schedule. Choose days and a time, like weekdays at 8:30, and the Mac is full every morning while staying at your limit overnight. Skip a day from the menu.
- Battery calibration. One click runs a full cycle with the charger plugged in, so macOS’s battery percentage stays accurate while you use a limit. Progress shows in the menu, and Chargeberry reminds you once a month.
- Keyboard shortcuts. Charge to 100%, turn the limit on or off, drain, or open the menu from any app.
- Low battery warning. Warns at the charge you choose, from 10 to 50%, with the time left.
- Time left in the menu bar. Next to the percentage, while on battery.
- A safer sleep. The charger is only ever paused while the Mac is fully awake, so a Mac never sleeps on its battery with the charger plugged in.
1.0: Chargeberry is out
- The charge limit. Stops charging at the limit you choose, from 50 to 100%, with Desk (60%), Daily (80%) and Travel (100%) presets, and starts again a few percent lower. A background helper holds it with the app closed and after a restart.
- Heat protection. Pauses charging when the battery reaches the temperature you set (40 °C by default) and resumes 2 °C cooler.
- Charge to 100% and Full by. Charge to 100% in one click, or be full by a time: the limit holds until charging has to start.
- Drain down. Runs the Mac on its battery with the charger plugged in, down to your limit, by hand or automatically.
- Sleep, health and power. Plans for sleep so charging never passes the limit, records battery health daily, and shows the live power flow between the charger, the battery and the Mac.
- Battery Wrapped. A monthly card about your battery, made to share.
