#### Don't overcook your battery! Keep it fresh and chewy with AlDente.
## !IMPORTANT! Regarding this message: "AlDente will damage your computer. You should move it to the trash."
Due to an expired developer certificate, all versions of AlDente prior to 2.1.2 are not working anymore. We have just released an updated and fixed version (AlDente 2.1.2, https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente/releases) signed with our new official developer account. However, some might need to delete the old helper files manually (instructions are in the release notes).
## AlDente Pro 1.0 Launch!
After months of hard work, sweat and countless plates of pasta, we are proud to release the first public version of AlDente Pro.
## AlDente for Apple Silicon (M1 MacBooks) is out now!
The time has come: AlDente for Apple Silicon (M1 MacBooks) is out now. We thank everyone who has helped us here in the forum and hope you like it. Thats not all, we have also started working on a pro version of AlDente with advanced features several weeks ago. Since we have put a lot of hours into developing the app, it will cost a little. However, there will always be this free and open source version of AlDente updated with the new M1 SMC keys. If you have any feature requests or ideas for AlDente Pro, let us know. If you want to get notified, when AlDente Pro comes out, just enter your email at https://apphousekitchen.com/aldente/ In the meantime, stay safe and keep your battery fresh. David & Matthias
Thanks to the incredible support of our beta testers, we can now bring AlDente Pro to everyone. You can get it at our new website: https://apphousekitchen.com
The pro version includes many convenient features like Sailing Mode, Heat Protection, Calibration Mode, Shortcuts and many more. On top of all that, it has a beautiful new design that gives you access to all important information at a glance.
If you would like to purchase our app and support further development of both the pro and the free version, head over to [AppHouseKitchen](https://apphousekitchen.com)!
Yours truly,
David & Matthias
## Why do I need this?
Li-ion and polymer batteries (like the one in your MacBook) last the longest when operating between 20 and 60 percent. Keeping your battery at 100% at all times can shorten the lifespan of your MacBook significantly.
