Battery charge control and an honest, live power-flow view for Linux laptops — inspired by AlDente.

Scope of this release
Platform Linux with GNOME Shell 48, 49 or 50 (Wayland or X11). Ubuntu 24.10+ / 26.04, Fedora 42+, Arch
Package clearpower_0.2.0_all.deb for Debian/Ubuntu; other distros: ./install.sh from source
Full feature set Intel laptops with RAPL (intel-rapl powercap) and a ThinkPad-style battery interface (charge_control_*_threshold, charge_behaviour)
Partial No RAPL → single "system" node, no display calibration · No threshold interface → charge controls hidden · No force-discharge → Discharge hidden
Tested on ThinkPad X14 Gen 1 (Core Ultra X7 358H, Samsung ATNA40HQ10 OLED), Ubuntu 26.04.1, GNOME Shell 50.1
Not yet AMD RAPL, Windows, macOS — Windows is next

Install

sudo apt install ./clearpower_0.2.0_all.deb

Log out and back in once, then open ClearPower (app grid) → Calibrate so the display gets its own measured number.

Highlights

  • Power breakdown that always adds up: CPU · GPU · SoC · memory · display · other.
  • Display power measured on your own panel (white-screen brightness sweep) and scaled by live screen content — on this OLED, full white at 100 % is 7.6 W, a dark desktop 0.4 W.
  • Runtime estimate from the battery's energy counter over a selectable window.
  • Charge limit 80/90/100 by click, or any value 50–100 in settings; Top Up and Discharge with automatic revert.
  • English / Chinese UI.
