The tool writes the desired value to your MacBooks SMC (System Management Controller), which handles the rest.
For everyone that is curious, the modified SMC key is called "BCLM" (Presumably "Battery Charge Level Max")

Usually, the operating system will take a minute or two registering the changes, so be patient. You can check if it's working by setting the max. percentage to e.g.: 70%. After a while, clicking on your battery icon will report "Battery is not charging" if you have more than ≈73% left, even tough your charger is connected. Notice that in this state, your MacBook is still powered by the charger, but the battery is not charging anymore.
## FAQ
* IT DOES NOT WORK???
AlDente does only prevent your Mac from charging more than you specify, it does NOT automatically drain your battery to the specified percentage.
* STILL NOT WORKING :(
Simply reboot your MacBook! This seems to do the trick for most people.
* IS MACOS BIG SUR SUPPORTED?
Allthough AlDente was written and compiled in Catalina, it works just fine on MacOS Big Sur.
* HOW TO UNINSTALL?
Make Sure to set your max. charging percentage back to 100 before moving AlDente to the Trash. If you really want to make sure, you can also reset your Mac's SMC. If you want to also remove the helper tool, take a look at this issue: <https://github.com/davidwernhart/AlDente/issues/19>.
