An app for macOS 12.2 battery life issues

Users with macOS 12.2 explain that the MacBook sees its autonomy go from 100% to 0% overnight, while the Mac is in sleep mode. A quick glance with the Terminal shows that Bluetooth accessories regularly connect to the computer, to the point of bringing it out of sleep mode. This concerns both people with an Intel Mac and people with a Mac M1.

A temporary solution is to deactivate Bluetooth and then activate it when necessary. But as much to say that this practice can quickly be annoying, especially since it must be carried out every day. This is where FluTooth comes in.

FluTooh, developed by Jordi Bruin, is based on Apple’s Shortcuts application and automatically cuts the MacBook’s Bluetooth when the user closes the screen. Conversely, Bluetooth automatically reactivates when the screen is opened. According to his tests, the autonomy problems disappeared.

The utility is available at this address. You can donate if you wish. You can also download the app for free. In this case, just put the value 0 above the “I want this!” box. “. Hoping now that Apple quickly offers its own fix.
