You should be able to get whatever version of Al Dente that you would like - this list goes all the way back to original version 1.0

I will be having the MBPro in charger almost constantly, so im interested in the best charging method for the longevity of my battery... what would that be?

I've had my MBP 16" 64/2GB since 2/27. For the most part, the laptop has been plugged in. When I first started it, it showed to have 2 cycles. Today, it still shows 2 cycles.

I like to follow a rule: "treat your battery nicely". Use it as a battery, now and then: Maybe once a month, disconnect from the charger, and use it as an actual portable device for an hour or two. I like getting it down below 40% charge, around 20% is probably a good goal. You're giving the battery a bit of exercise. Plug it back in to fully charge (or use the 80% value as your goal. Your OS will even remember what you did, and use 80% as a sort-of shelf, where the charging stops, not quite fully charged. And - your battery will thank you by giving back (in theory) longer useful life for your battery.

This makes no sense. Your original question was about M1 MBP. You cannot run HSierra on M1 MBP.

Initially I just used the optimization that came with my MacBook Pro but after a couple months it seemed to stay on 100%. I then tried to manually plug/unplug it and tried to keep it below 80% but that became a big hassle.
I was hesitant in trying Al Dente but after all the positive comments from users (I don’t recall ever reading a negative comment except maybe from someone trying to set up) I decided to give the free version a try. It seemed like a very solid utility so I bought the “pro” version. Now I don’t even think about my battery health unless I read a post about it and my battery health is still excellent.I generally keep my MacBook Pro plugged in and use it on battery a couple hours a week.
I really expected the included optimization to be similar to Al Dente.
