Stop re-pairing your Magic Keyboard between Macs

I built this because I got sick of re-pairing my Magic Keyboard and Mouse every time I moved between my MacBook and my work MacBook — different Apple IDs, so Universal Control was never going to work for me. LinkFlick just flicks them over Bluetooth instead. Hotkey, or tell Siri "flick devices," done. Menu bar app, customizable hotkey, and it nags you before your Magic Mouse battery dies. Still rough around the edges in places, but it works, and it's mine.

The Siri command is a nice touch. Being able to switch devices without opening settings sounds really convenient.

@shameka_fabros Thanks! Yeah, that one came out of me wanting it for my own routine — Siri Shortcuts + a physical hotkey (⌥⌘L) so I never have to open the app at all. If you end up trying it, curious whether the Shortcuts action covers your setup or if there's a trigger you'd want that's missing.
I can definitely see the appeal if you regularly move between two Macs. Repairing Bluetooth devices every time gets annoying pretty quickly.

@stephane_thrasher Exactly the annoyance that started this. If you've got two Macs signed into different Apple IDs, Universal Control won't touch it — that's the specific gap LinkFlick fills. Happy to walk through how the handover works under the hood if you're curious, or if you try it and hit a snag, tell me here and I'll fix it.
