AlDente is fantastic, does it exactly what it claims to with no fuss. Happy to pay the 20 bucks or so for a lifetime license.

For my main computer (M1 Macbook Pro) that spends roughly 80% of the time on its charger, I have it set to 65% which gives me plenty of margin at home, plus it allows you to top-up to 100% on the pro version with one click.

For my 2015 Macbook Pro with heavily degraded battery that spends 100% of the time on its charger and on, I set it to 50% to (hopefully) lengthen the life of the battery before it swells since removing the battery safely is a bit sketchy on even that era of Macbook.
