This is awesome!

Thanks for explaining the reasoning behind implementing your own version instead of using Al Dente. The straightforward UI is really appealing.

I paid for an Al Dente license long ago and have been very happy with it, sail mode and temperature sensitive charging are great features (although I’m not sure how big of an impact sail mode makes).

It’s great to see alternatives available though. Having command line access is really cool.

Anecdotally: I've used sailing mode for the last year or so, and almost always use my laptop on AC power. Before I started using sailing mode, my cycle count was 120; now, a year later, it's 123.
