What it does

BatteryGuard is a lightweight macOS menu bar app for people who want to be more intentional about their Mac’s battery health. It complements Apple’s built-in battery features with reminders to plug in below 20% and unplug above 80%, helping you spend less time at extreme charge levels. Unlike more complex battery utilities, BatteryGuard is intentionally minimal. It lives in the menu bar and focuses on one job: giving you timely nudges that make healthier charging habits easier to maintain.

I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783
With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
