AirBar

Connect to your AirPods in a click

#4 Product of the WeekOctober 05, 2018

I use my AirPods with my iPhone and Mac extensively but was always disappointed that the "seamless switching" would not automatically pick the audio source to use with my AirPods. To ease the pain of manually switching bluetooth devices on Mac I created this small utility to allow to force connect to my AirPods on my Mac from a tap on the menubar.

Hey 👋 AirBar was a challenge / weekend project for myself to build & launch a product in less than 12 hours. The idea was to... 1. Find something to improve on from my personal experience 2. Build & ship in 12h or less. Hope this is useful to someone else as well!

@tiivik How about making this work with android also in similar fashion? :)

@tiivik Looks like it doesn't support versions below 10.14, and I see that folks who've upgraded to Mojave are also experiencing issues. Can you put up an update on this? Thanks and best wishes!

This should be built into MacOS. Nice work, @tiivik.

@rrhoover Appreciate it Ryan! Hope it will be soon enough (and AirBar won't be needed anymore 😢 😸 )

@tiivik @rrhoover It's already. Enable sound shortcut in menu bar in sound settings, and AirPods will be there and you can switch between AirPods and Speakers. :)
