I kept on forgetting my mac was charging and most of the time the battery would be at 100% for a few hours before I realize it.
So created a small script that will notify you when your mac is fully charged.

I'm not sure I understand the reason here:
Leaving it powered from the mains or running off battery only affects energy usage if your power scheme is set to make everything go faster when plugged in. I don't even know if you can do that on a Mac, since they lock everything down.
Hey, thanks for your comment, but I just wanted something that told me that the battery was at 100% so I remember to unplug. If it's plugged you're using the electricity from the outlet one way or another.
I imagine the amount of power difference is so small that it's probably pennies per year.
