Description

AirBuddy brings the same AirPods experience you have on iOS to the Mac. With AirBuddy, you can open up your AirPods case next to your Mac and see the status right away, just like it is on your iPhone or iPad. A simple click and you're connected and playing your Mac's audio to AirPods. Oh, it also makes sure the audio input of your Mac is NOT switched to the AirPods automatically when connecting so you can get the best possible quality.

With the Batteries Notification Center widget, you can also see the battery status for your Mac, including how much battery time you have left or how long it'll take to finish charging (if it's charging). The widget also shows the battery status for your AirPods, their charging case, other W1 headsets like Beats headphones and your iOS devices.

Experience AirPods on your Mac like never before
With AirBuddy, you can simply open your AirPods case next to your Mac and see the current status right away, just like how it works on your iPhone or iPad. With just a click you’ll be instantly connected and playing your Mac's audio through your AirPods. Powerful gestures and automation allow you to connect and change listening mode, microphone input, and output volume, without ever having to open up System Preferences or the Bluetooth menu.

Beautiful UI
Just open your AirPods case next to your Mac to see its status. Or set up a custom keyboard shortcut to show the battery state of your AirPods or Beats device at any time.

Quick actions
Change listening modes quickly with a global keyboard shortcut.
You can set up custom keyboard shortcuts to show a device’s status, quickly toggle listening modes from anywhere, automatically connect to the nearest headset, and more.

Menu Bar
AirPods, iPhones, Macs, you name it.
With the AirBuddy icon in the menu bar, you can get an overview of all of your nearby devices. You can even see the status for your other nearby Macs running AirBuddy and their peripherals.

Magic Handoff
Move your Magic Mouse, Keyboard or Trackpad with a single click.
If you’d like to share a Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, or Magic Trackpad with another Mac running AirBuddy, you can quickly transfer them with just a single click.

Smart Stats
Get battery usage stats for your headsets.
AirBuddy keeps track of the state of your headsets when they’re nearby, even if they’re not connected to your Mac. This enables the app to show you usage statistics, including which AirPod is consuming its battery more quickly, as well as overall call and listening times.

Coming Soon
Alerts, automation, Touch Bar, and more.
Coming soon with a free update, you’ll be able to set up automations, custom battery alerts, control devices from the Touch Bar, replace the system battery icon in the menu bar with AirBuddy, and more.
