#Toothfairy online Bluetooth#
Note: ToothFairy works with devices that can be connected via the macOS Bluetooth menu. Use with your Magic Mouse or Magic Keyboard to make sure the battery level doesn’t get too low, or to quickly reconnect them after charging or if they get disconnected. ToothFairy itself is also AppleScriptable, so you can control your devices from other apps (like Lacona) and automations. Run a shell script when the AirPods are connected or disconnected, for example to notify you or to launch or quit another app. With the Dock icon hidden, you can right-click (or Control-click) the menu bar icon to access the settings. Optionally hide the Dock icon so it only appears in the menu bar. ToothFairy automatically launches at login, so it’s always there when you need it. AirPods and Beats devices with an Apple W1 chip do not need to be manually disconnected, and you can set them to avoid accidental disconnections when pressing the hotkey multiple times. Disconnect a Bluetooth device by clicking the icon (or pressing the hotkey) again, so that you can switch back to your phone.

ToothFairy can ensure that it uses the higher quality AAC codec when you only care about audio output: listening to music or video or playing a game. macOS will normally use the SCO codec if it thinks you’re going to use the microphone. Supports multiple Bluetooth audio devices you can choose a different icon and hotkey for each. Now you know that it’s safe to start playing music it won’t blast from your Mac’s internal speaker. It fills in to show they are connected and can also display a battery indicator. Click the hollow AirPods icon in the menu bar to switch to AirPods. (HomePod is not supported, as it is not a Bluetooth audio device.) Works with AirPods, as well as any Bluetooth device that you can connect to your Mac: headphones, speakers, headsets, game pad controllers, keyboards, mice, etc. ToothFairy streamlines this: just click an icon in the menu bar (or press a hotkey) to switch to the AirPods, and the icon always shows whether they’re connected. You can’t tell at a glance whether audio will play from the AirPods or your Mac’s built-in speaker, you have to dig into a Bluetooth submenu to connect, and then you have to go back to the menu to see when the AirPods are ready for use.

Connect AirPods (or other Bluetooth headphones) to your Mac with a single click or keypress.ĪirPods are great, but they don’t work quite as smoothly with Macs as they do iPhones.
