Unplug Your Laptop Now, or It Will Stay Plugged in Forever
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/406957/can-i-tell-...
Looks like there's a decent CLI tool for it, but being a Mac guy I'm of course going for the slick GUI app https://apphousekitchen.com. The developer came up with a really clever incentive for free-app users to upgrade to the Pro version: make the icons for the free version unbelievably ugly. (The design of the app itself is excellent)

M3 CPU cores have become more versatile
"Special care" on OS X is to use Al Dente.app, which limits the charge at 80% so as to not damage the battery.

Who says keeping your MacBook plugged in all the time is going to destroy the battery?
I use an app called AlDente that allows you to cap your battery's charge https://apphousekitchen.com/

Best practices for keeping Mac battery healthy?
download AlDente and your battery will thank you. If you have it plugged in most of the time limit the charge to 80% and AlDente will stop charging beyond that.

Constant Plugged in?
Just a shame keeping the battery at 100% will degrade its health over time. I would love an option to keep it at 50% most of the time, just like my MacBook with AlDente.
- is there any Thunderbolt hub that I can turn off charging while it's connected to the Macbook?

Charging a lithium battery to 80% only?
It's not possible to set a hard limit in macOS without third party utility like AlDente [1].
I was referring to the built-in "Optimised battery charging" feature. When this is active and has decided it will cap charging at 80%, you get a "charge to full now" option in the battery menu.

Got a 14" M1 Max with 64Gb + 2TB + 3yrs Applecare+ for $2650 after tax. Do I need this battery app?
I was told to get this app to help maximize battery life as it keep it within 30-80% charge instead of 100%. Would this app help prolong the battery life?

Apple's new 80% battery limit feature should not be limited to the iPhone 15
That's true. I evaluated it, but it wasn't of use to me as I keep my Macbook plugged in with the lid closed.
I eventually tried this instead :
https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit
I use it to keep my battery level indicator pegged at 70%. Often doesn't persist after a system update, but it's just a quick terminal command to reapply the setting.
I use my Macbook in clamshell mode, and I use sleep mode when I'm not using it - receiving power from a Thunderbolt dock. It's handy to pick up exactly where I left off on resume. Plus, I use two LG screens where one of the two doesn't switch on after a cold boot, and it's annoying to unplug and replug to activate it. Sleep mode gets around that.

Patch iMac 2013 and use as 2nd Display
Target display mode was removed somewhere around macos high sierra. It’s just controlled by setting an smc key so you might be able to make a program set that smc key for you. The key itself is explained here https://floe.butterbrot.org/matrix/hacking/tdm/ and a similar approach to this for setting a limit on how much the battery charges could be used to set the key https://github.com/DevNulPavel/osx_battery_charge_limit
