Connect AirPods (or other Bluetooth headphones) to your Mac with a single click or keypress. ToothFairy streamlines using AirPods and other Bluetooth devices with your Mac. No more digging into menus or Control Center. Your headphones, mouse, and keyboard can get their own icons right in the menu bar, and you can always see at a glance whether they’re connected or disconnected and what the battery level is. Connect or disconnect with a single click or keypress. See the status update and show where your Mac’s audio will play from. ToothFairy can make music and videos sound better by using a higher quality codec for audio output. It can also run scripts when Bluetooth devices connect or disconnect. - 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. (HomePod is not ed, as it is not a Bluetooth audio device.) - Click the hollow AirPods icon in the menu bar to switch to AirPods. It fills in to show they are connected and can also display a battery indicator. Now you know that it’s safe to start playing music; it won’t blast from your Mac’s internal speaker. - s multiple Bluetooth audio devices; you can choose a different icon and hotkey for each. - Get the best audio quality. macOS will normally use the SCO codec if it thinks you’re going to use the microphone. 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. - Disconnect a Bluetooth device by clicking the icon (or pressing the hotkey) again, so that you can switch back to your phone. AirPods and Beats devices with an Apple H1 or W1 chip do not need to be manually disconnected, and you can set them to avoid accidental disconnections when pressing the hotkey multiple times. - ToothFairy automatically launches at , so it’s always there when you need it. - Optionally hide the Dock icon so it only appears in the menu bar. With the Dock icon hidden, you can right-click (or Control-click) the menu bar icon to access the settings. - Run a shell script when the AirPods are connected or disconnected, for example to notify you or to launch or quit another app. ToothFairy itself is also AppleScriptable, so you can control your devices from other apps (like Lacona) and automations. - 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. Note: ToothFairy works with devices that can be connected via the macOS Bluetooth menu. Please make sure the devices you want to connect have been paired to your Mac and work reliably before using them with ToothFairy. Switching Bluetooth devices between multiple Macs requires that the Bluetooth device can be paired with more than one computer/phone at a time; this is not ed by the current-generation Apple Magic Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad. Not all devices can report their battery level or make it available in a way that ToothFairy can read it. “The ultimate ‘saved you a click’ app” —Dieter Bohn, The Verge “Ideal for AirPods” —Matt Bolton, Mac|Life “A must for Mac or MacBook owners” —Mike Peterson, AppleToolBox m263t
