Features/Pause conditionsยทIntroduced in 1.0.0

Pause on battery (with threshold)

Pause when on battery โ€” or only below a battery percentage you choose.

What it does

Two-level pause condition. The base check pauses whenever the Mac is on battery power. With the threshold sub-toggle on, it only pauses when battery drops below the percentage you set.

How it works

Shake It On reads IOPSCopyPowerSourcesInfo for the current power-source type and capacity. The threshold mode compares the current capacity against your slider.

Where to find it

Settings โ†’ Paused When โ†’ On battery. Sub-toggle reveals a 5โ€“95% slider.

When to use it

If you mostly use Shake It On at your desk: leave it on, threshold off. If you want it to keep going on battery while you have plenty of charge but stand down when you're running low: turn the threshold on, set it to 20โ€“30%.
