Endurance - A small app that boosts your Mac's battery by 20%

FYI: 7-day free trial. $12.99 after that

Hey Eric! Thanks for hunting Endurance! It's a brand new product for your Mac that does exactly what it promises — makes your battery run longer over the course of the day. In our tests we're able to get between 15% to 25% more uptime, a really nice improvement. Why'd we build it? Our Macbooks performance is great, even the ones that are a few years old. But the batteries all start to fade after so many charge cycles. It's particularly frustrating when you're working from coffee shops with no outlets or on long flights. Endurance runs in the background on your Mac, sitting nicely in the menu bar. When your battery hits 50%, it asks you if you want to enter Low Power Mode. Endurance makes your battery last longer by combining a lot of different modules together. We can slow down your CPU, notify you when there are processes like Flash and Chrome which are gobbling up cycles, hide background applications (causing AppNap to de-prioritize those processes), and automatically dim the screen over time. If you don't like any particular module, you can turn that one off. Happy to answer any questions!

Endurance is an app that helps your Mac run longer. It runs in the background and when your battery level drops to a certain level, it automatically starts adjusting your settings and turning off features which use a lot of energy.

People that are using it... Is it worth it?

These Keays do some awesome work. This one is a particularly easy sell, who doesn't want more battery life?

@joshuakeay @erictwillis Awesome, I love low battery mode on iPhone and this seems pretty similar for Mac!

Love the site's loading indicator! It's done entirely in CSS!

Excited by this, hopefully I won't need to bring my charger anymore!

Just purchased this! Excited to see results!

Such good timing. Saw this when my Mac's battery was at 9%, installed and ran and within a second it had jumped up to 14%, then there was an OS crash (memory corruption? I took a screenshot) and I restarted Endurance and now I am at 12% battery. This seems promising though the memory corruption issue worries me a bit.

Just installed as I left my charger at home today :). Quick bug note: I had "Hiding Background Apps" enabled and it appears to treat Google Chrome Extension apps as persistently backgrounded. For me, this meant that every time I tried to switch over to Postman, Endurance would hide it again.

Going to give this a try over the weekend whilst at Startup Weekend HK (plug plug). On-boarding states that the app kicks in at 70% - but the default seems to be 50% when actually running - might need syncing up.

@felipebarr I've been using it for a while, and kind of like it; I really saw some gain in the battery life. I was enjoying it until I decided to bought it and learned in the hard way the license can be only used in the MacBook from where you purchased it 😢 Another thing (bug?) I noticed is that it works "a la Windows" way: you'll need restart your MacBook for the app to take the changes in the configuration.
