Introducing ChargeDose: The Smart Battery Reminder for Windows Users

Kusal Darshana — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 21:06:04 +0000

Tired of forgetting when to unplug your laptop? Worried about damaging your battery over time?
Introducing ChargeDose, a mindful battery care tool built by the team behind What’s The Time.

With the launch of ChargeDose v2.0, we’re expanding from timezones into your laptop’s lifespan — quite literally.

and give your battery a second life.

💡 Why ChargeDose Exists
Laptop batteries wear out faster due to overcharging or deep draining. Many users unknowingly keep their chargers plugged in 24/7 — damaging lithium-ion cells and reducing capacity permanently.

While some high-end laptops offer built-in charge limits, most users don’t get that feature. That’s where ChargeDose comes in:

“ChargeDose is like a friend who gently taps your shoulder when it’s time to unplug or plug in the charger.”

⚙️ How ChargeDose Works
Once installed, ChargeDose runs quietly in your system tray. It checks your battery percentage and power status every few seconds and intelligently reminds you when:

Your battery exceeds 80% while charging (time to unplug)
Your battery drops below 20% while on battery (time to plug in)
No heavy GUI, no system bloat — just a minimal, respectful assistant for battery care.

🔽 How to Download
We’ve made downloading super easy:

👉 Download
Click the “Download ChargeDose” button — and install it in seconds.

No ads. No spyware. Just mindful tech.

🌐 A Product From the What’s The Time Universe

I needed a clean, fast time zone converter. Ended up building one – whatsthetime.online

Kusal Darshana — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 19:11:15 +0000

I’m a student developer and I recently built a time zone conversion site that’s more than just another "UTC to PST" tool.

✅ What’s special:

🌐 Real-time converter with smart clocks & time picker

📅 Supports all time zones with friendly aliases (like "Kandy → Asia/Colombo")

🌅 Animated backgrounds based on time of day (morning, evening, etc.)

🧠 Intelligent comparison: currency, languages, weekend days, best time to visit

🔗 Shareable links + OG cards for social media

💡 Inspired by productivity, travel, and remote team needs

Built with 💙 using Astro + Tailwind, designed for simplicity and speed. No ads (for now), mobile-friendly, and totally open to ideas!
