I hunted AirBuddy 2.0 six years ago — and I've been following it's evolution ever since then. v3.0 is a massive upgrade and for anyone that uses Apple peripherals, you should really check this out.
Not only that — but I built a Raycast extension (pending review) for AirBuddy so you can control all your devices from the comfort of your keyboard!
This is one of those apps you don't realize you need until you've used it. I especially like the battery pop-up and quick controls. Curious, was there a particular macOS limitation that was the hardest to work around while building AirBuddy?

@aamirxv2 Thank you for the nice message!
For AirBuddy 3, this was definitely the now playing integration. Apple locked it down on macOS in the middle of the AirBuddy 3 beta cycle. The only way to work around that was to rewrite the integration to route all now playing data through a proxy background process instead of doing it in the main app process, which would have been a lot easier to do had it not happened after it was already implemented.
Moving peripherals between Macs is the feature I have wanted for years. Right now I do the Bluetooth menu dance every time I switch from the laptop to the desktop, so if AirBuddy 3 handles a keyboard and mouse handoff cleanly that alone is worth it.
