- Added Charge Limit: Off | 80% for a MacBook that stays plugged in. Barred stops charging at 80% and lets it charge again at 75%, and the Mac runs from the adapter in between. Charging is turned back on when Barred quits.
- The first time Charge Limit is turned on, macOS asks for a password once so the helper can be updated. If Touch ID was set up before, the menu offers the setup again to add the new rules.

- Added an NPU meter. It is a Neural Engine tile that fills with the power drawn by the ANE, and it does not need admin rights.
- Control+Option+1, 2, 3 and 4 switch the monitor under the pointer to HDMI 1, HDMI 2, DisplayPort and USB-C.
- The menu bar meters now animate on the render server, so they move smoothly and Barred uses less CPU between readings.

- Moving the laptop screen to the left or right after Below now lines it up with the bottom of the monitor. Before this, the two screens only touched at a corner.

- Barred now updates itself with Sparkle. It checks barred.app once a day, and Check for Updates… in the menu checks right away.
- The percent meter style also covers the disk meter.
