There is an equivalent software solution for rooted Android phones: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/mattecarra.accapp/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/mattecarra.accapp/ The Chargie will certainly be useful for the many people who don't want to/can't root their phones. But it's also sad that one needs an extra piece of hardware for something that the phone can technically already accomplish on its own.

I created a shortcut in iOS that will remind me to unplug.

  I thought current iOS versions already have the ability to limit charge by default.

    Yes, they do. For a couple years now: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210512

      Ah, interesting that it's only available as "smart" feature and not as something you can intentionally configure. Neat feature otherwise.

        The latest shortcuts app is able to monitor the charge level and one can configure it as a trigger.

    no they don't. That function is a joke. Only works maybe 2 out of 10 nights, the rest are spent at 100%. I have a Chargie (older version) and it really does the trick, every single night. I don't know how the Android app does it, but the iOS one is really transparent and just works as it should. Big thumbs up for the developer!
