Venti is a carbon-aware battery management tool for Apple Silicon MacBooks.

(Venti on GitHub)

The tool is meant for MacBooks which are plugged into a power source most of the time. It fulfills two design goals simultaneously: first, it keeps the battery charged to 80%, which helps prolong its longevity. Second, when the battery percentage does drop below 80%, Venti uses carbon intensity data from CO2signal to defer charging until grid electricity is sufficiently clean, reducing your carbon footprint.

Key Features

• Automatically disables charging when your battery is above 80% charged, effectively maintaining a constant state of charge at 80%.

• While your MacBook is plugged into a power source, the battery will not discharge (by default)

• Enables charging when your battery is under 80% charged and grid carbon emissions are low while plugged into a power source.

• Settings are persistent across reboots and even after closing the GUI menu bar app.
