powerchime

Quickly switch macOS' PowerChime

Preview

Just type git.io/nochime to go here.


As far as I can guess, this sound appears only on MacBooks with USB-C charging port, so starting with 2015 MacBook.

Usage File size in bytes

I don't expect you using it often, so the script doesn't install on your Mac, it just runs and that's all

Open Terminal and run the following command:

curl -sL git.io/powerchime | sh





Reasons

Annoyance
The sound of the charging cable being connected is unnecessary and might even be annoying, because you already see battery status right in the Menu Bar.



The weird thing is that macOS lets you easily switch, for example, the startup sound, but not PowerChime.

People might be sleeping


To remove PowerChime even with the lid closed...

  1. Disable SIP
  2. Remove the `/System/Library/CoreServices/PowerChime.app/Contents/Resources/connect_power.aif` file

This may or may not work. Better Google it.
