If you give your Mac an AI agent, it'll want to work all night.
And if it works all night, it'll need to stay awake, even with the lid closed. Locked, of course.
And if it's awake all night, it'll stay on the charger, so it needs a rhythm: charge, hold most of the day, use the battery once in a while.
And if it's working while you're out, you'll want to check on it from your phone. Pause it, lock it, or give it one more hour.
And if it ever runs too hot, it knows when to stop.
Everything in between, taken care of.
Battery Orbit, a Mac menu bar app.
• Keeps your battery between the limits you choose, charger plugged in
• Keeps your Mac awake, even with the lid closed
• Control from your phone through your own Telegram bot
• Runs on your Mac. No account, no analytics
One-time purchase. Free for 3 days, every feature.

Does anyone know any good open source model in range of 4-6 B parameters which I can further fine-tune for my own engine.

Battery Orbit: the app for folks who leave the charger plugged in all day but still want to cosplay as battery-health warriors. Your menu bar now hosts a tiny glowing ring doing orbits while the battery yo-yos between 20-90% like it's on a cosmic juice cleanse. "Natural Flow" mode? Electrons doing yoga. Telegram bot control so you can text your laptop from the couch? Peak over-engineering. $8 for a digital nanny that makes your Mac pretend the cable isn't there. Ambitious.
I hate Anthropic, but I absolutely love Opus 5.5. It understands me way better than myself. I repeat, OpenAI model doesn't even come close.

Life feels good when you start enjoying your own product, even with zero users.
I built Battery Orbit for myself. I'd be away from my Mac, working on it remotely, and it kept annoying me that I couldn't tell what it was doing. Was it charging? Had the battery been sitting at 100% all day? Had it gone to sleep in the middle of my work?
So I made a small fix for my own problem.
Now it quietly looks after my battery and my charging cycles. I can unlock my Mac from my phone. And when Claude is stuck waiting for my approval, Orbit lets me know, and I can approve it right there, wherever I am.
Nobody else is using it yet. That's fine. Every time it saves me, it feels a little more real.
I absolutely love where my little Orbit is heading. 🪐

Privacy >>>>> Convenience
Every time I build a feature, I hit the same fork in the road.
The convenient way: your data goes through a company server. Easy to build, easy to sync, "log in from anywhere."
The private way: your data stays on your own devices. A bit more setup, a lot more work for me as a developer.
I pick private every time. Here's why, and how you can protect yourself with any app you use 👇
1. Data that's collected can be leaked.
Every server is one breach, one bad employee, or one acquisition away from your data being somewhere you never agreed to. The only data that can't leak is data nobody collected.
2. Ask 4 questions before you trust an app:
• Does it need an account? If it works without one, even better.
• Where is my data stored: on my device, or on their server?
• Can I export it and delete it fully?
• What happens to my data if the company shuts down or gets sold?
3. Check what your apps can already see.
On Mac: System Settings › Privacy & Security. Go through Full Disk Access, Accessibility, Screen Recording and Location. Turn off anything you don't use anymore. You'll probably find a few surprises.
4. Lock down your cloud.
If you're on iCloud, turn on Advanced Data Protection (System Settings › your name › iCloud). Most of your iCloud data becomes end-to-end encrypted, so not even Apple can read it.
5. Look for "on-device" and "local-first."
Apps that do their work on your device instead of their server are usually faster, work offline, and keep your data yours.
Convenience is nice. But one extra tap during setup is a much better deal than finding your data in someone else's breach.
The best way to protect your data is to never hand it over in the first place.
