Endurance

Endurance is a lightweight macOS app that’s designed to help you get the most out of your MacBook's battery life. Even though MacBooks have come a long way over the years, battery power can still be a real headache. That’s where Endurance steps in!

How Does Endurance Work?

The cool thing about Endurance is that it kicks in when your battery drops below a certain level you set. You’ll know it’s working because you’ll see its icon pop up in your Mac’s status bar. From there, you can easily tweak the settings if you want.

Automatic Power Saving

If you set it to enable power-saving mode automatically, you can just relax and focus on your work while Endurance takes care of things for you. No need to open different modules as your battery dips!

Turbo Mode and Display Brightness

One of the first things Endurance does is turn off Turbo mode, which helps save battery by slowing down your processor a little bit. This means your device might run slower, but it's all about saving that precious battery life.

Your MacBook’s screen can really drain the battery too—especially if it’s super bright! But don’t worry; Endurance gradually dims the brightness over time so it won’t even be super noticeable.

Managing Background Apps

Another handy feature is how it deals with background apps. Endurance automatically hides those apps that aren’t in use, which helps conserve resources. Plus, it keeps an eye on heavy-duty applications and lets you know which ones might need to be closed to save more juice.

Customization Options

You do get some control over how and when power-saving mode kicks in—you decide what battery level should trigger it. However, there are some limits; for instance, you can't specify exactly how much brightness should go down or choose specific apps to monitor.

If you're looking for something that can help extend your MacBook's battery life without too much fuss, Endurance is definitely worth checking out! While it does a great job at cutting down on power usage through various actions, having more customization options would make this tool even better.
