ToothFairy for Android

11 things about ToothFairy

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. - 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.

4. 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 supported by the current-generation Apple Magic Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad.

5. Note: ToothFairy works with devices that can be connected via the macOS Bluetooth menu.

6. 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.

7. - Supports multiple Bluetooth audio devices; you can choose a different icon and hotkey for each.

8. The battery indicator works with devices that can show their battery level in the Bluetooth pane of System Preferences.

9. Connect AirPods (or other Bluetooth headphones) to your Mac with a single click or keypress.

10. - Click the hollow AirPods icon in the menu bar to switch to AirPods.

11. - Disconnect a Bluetooth device by clicking the icon (or pressing the hotkey) again, so that you can switch back to your phone.
