Changelog

Fixed

• Charging limits work again on macOS 26.6 after Apple changed the battery control interface
• Liwu now detects when macOS Charge Limit stops charging below Liwu's target and explains how to avoid conflicting charge controllers

Improved

• Charge Control now shows setup guidance to set macOS Charge Limit to 100% and turn off Optimized Battery Charging

Fixed

• Sleep is no longer left disabled if Liwu is force-quit while Keep Awake is on — a closed-lid Mac could otherwise stay awake and drain the battery
• Heat protection no longer resumes charging after a single bad temperature reading
• Calibration now stops and shows the reason when the adapter is unplugged or a step cannot finish, instead of staying stuck
• Settings no longer revert when you change several of them in quick succession
• Charge controls stay disabled until the background component reports its current state, so an early click can no longer reset settings to their defaults
• Scheduled tasks sync reliably when the background component takes a while to start, and no longer run twice after a failed write
• Skipping the next scheduled run now reports a failure instead of appearing to succeed when its timing has already changed
• Narrowing the range no longer starts an unnecessary charge cycle
• A charge limit typed in the menu bar popover is no longer lost when the popover closes
• Battery health no longer reports an invalid 0% maximum capacity
• The macOS Optimized Battery Charging conflict warning now appears for limits just above 80%
• Monthly schedules use the same day of the month on every calendar setting
• The main window now opens reliably after activating from the website
• Fixed a rare case where an activated license could be lost while upgrading from an early version

New

• Let the display sleep while Keep Awake continues local agents, builds, tests, renders, and downloads
• See clear warnings when system, display, or lid-closed sleep control cannot be applied

Improved

• Keep scope, display, and duration controls compact in the menu bar popover
• Report the lid scope that actually took effect when closed-lid control fails

New

• Guide new users through enabling Liwu's background helper on first launch

Improved

• Keep the Liwu icon visible when background access needs attention, making the alert easier to identify

New

• Start Liwu automatically when you sign in, controlled from General settings
• Show or hide the battery percentage in the menu bar

Improved

• New installs now use the Liwu icon in the menu bar by default
• Background helper problems are now explained consistently across the app

New

Note

• This release contains no changes to the app itself

New

• Buy Pro on liwu.app — your Mac is activated automatically once checkout completes
• Restore Pro on a new Mac, or after reinstalling, using the email you purchased with

Improved

• After activation the main window opens to General, so you can confirm your Pro status at a glance
