You can set alerts about devices, too, being warned when the charge drops to a low level-you can set the percentage-or getting a notification when it's fully charged.įor earbuds and headphones with different listening modes, like transparency and noise-cancellation, you can access those through the AirBuddy system menu.ĪirBuddy provides the right help in being aware of your peripherals and audio devices' declining power and staying on top of recharging them.Ī drop-down system menu lets you see the current levels of every kind of thing AirBuddy can monitor: audio hardware Bluetooth keyboards, mice, and other input devices and iPhones, iPads, and Macs. You can also create Audio profiles within AirBuddy that can switch listening modes, change audio input (to or from your audio device), and change the volume. (This can cause problems for people on their own or sharing an iCloud account, as I documented in a Mac 911 column.) It also provides an easy way to disable AirPods auto-switching, in which the earbuds or headphones switch among iCloud-linked devices by inferring where they're needed. If you frequently switch wireless keyboards, mice, trackpads, and other pointers among Macs, the app's Magic Handoff feature lets you transfer the Bluetooth connection with a single menu navigation and right-click-no more multi-step operation to disconnect it from one Mac and connect it with another.
The app provides detailed configuration of devices, including setting special profiles for audio devices.ĪirBuddy lets you set keyboard shortcuts within a preference pane. It can also be controlled via macOS 12 Shortcuts. The app requires macOS Mojave 10.14.6 or later, but it offers the best device support in Big Sur and Monterey. This is due to features Apple offers in the operating system and hardware features that AirBuddy taps into.
The app also requires a Mac with Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), found in nearly all Macs shipped starting in 2013.
