Is it okay to leave my apple laptop plugged in all day? It is convenient to me to leave it on the charger at my desk but I don't want to damage the battery

Modern portable macs provide adequate usefulness if left on AC power; some users
set up theirs as Desktop Replacements; and seldom run on battery power. However
its good to use Mac on battery power for awhile. Just don't run it flat!

While newer MacBook/Air and /Pro models use USB-C ports, some have MagSafe
ports; those have different care instructions to keep them in good working order.
Depending on what yours has, there are different Support articles for those.
Good luck & happy trails!🌞⛵️

I would say yes as it's something I've done for the last 12-14 years with all the laptops I've ever used. Like you I find it convenient in some situations. In all that time I've not known a battery or a charger to be damaged by my use of the laptop. I used to work for an Apple Premium Reseller and Authorised Repair Centre and all of us Apple Technicians did the same with no detriment to any of the equipment used.
