Download the latest release or install via Homebrew:

Please note the latest release requires MacOS Monterey (12.0) or higher.

Perhaps you could buy me a coffee to say thanks ☕

Bluesnooze prevents your sleeping Mac from connecting to Bluetooth accessories.

If you pair Bluetooth headphones or speakers with both your phone & Mac it can be frustrating when your sleeping Mac connects intermittently and disrupts the audio.

With Bluesnooze the Bluetooth connection is switched off when your Mac sleeps, and switched on when your Mac wakes.

1. Download Bluesnooze.zip from the latest release
2. In Finder, open Bluesnooze.zip in your Downloads directory
3. Drag Bluesnooze.app to your Applications directory
4. Optional: Configure 'Launch at login'

• Please note this app is not compatible with the “Allow your Apple Watch to unlock your Mac” feature.
• Unfortunately this app can't be distributed via the App Store because it uses a private API to switch Bluetooth on/off (but the release version is notarized by Apple).

Bluesnooze is a really simple app which toggles the Bluetooth power on/off. Disconnecting specific devices would require a complete rewrite, and I don't need this functionality or the complexity it brings. Please feel free to fork & experiment as you like ✌️

In your terminal run the following command:

defaults write com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze hideIcon -bool true && killall Bluesnooze

When you next relaunch the application there should be no icon in the menu bar.

In your terminal run the following command:

defaults delete com.oliverpeate.Bluesnooze hideIcon && killall Bluesnooze

When you next relaunch the application it should appear in the menu bar.
