Description
Connect AirPods (or other Bluetooth headphones) to your Mac with a single click or keypress.
AirPods are great, but they don’t work quite as smoothly with Macs as they do iPhones. 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. 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.
- 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. (HomePod is not supported, as it is not a Bluetooth audio device.)
- Click the hollow AirPods icon in the menu bar to switch to AirPods. It fills in to show they are connected and can also display a battery indicator. Now you know that it’s safe to start playing music; it won’t blast from your Mac’s internal speaker.
- Supports multiple Bluetooth audio devices; you can choose a different icon and hotkey for each.
- Get the best audio quality. macOS will normally use the SCO codec if it thinks you’re going to use the microphone. ToothFairy can ensure that it uses the higher quality AAC codec when you only care about audio output: listening to music or video or playing a game.
- Disconnect a Bluetooth device by clicking the icon (or pressing the hotkey) again, so that you can switch back to your phone. 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.
- ToothFairy automatically launches at login, so it’s always there when you need it.
- Optionally hide the Dock icon so it only appears in the menu bar. With the Dock icon hidden, you can right-click (or Control-click) the menu bar icon to access the settings.
- Run a shell script when the AirPods are connected or disconnected, for example to notify you or to launch or quit another app. ToothFairy itself is also AppleScriptable, so you can control your devices from other apps (like Lacona) and automations.
- Use with your Magic Mouse or Magic Keyboard to make sure the battery level doesn’t get too low, or to quickly reconnect them after charging or if they get disconnected.
Note: ToothFairy works with devices that can be connected via the macOS Bluetooth menu. Please make sure the devices you want to connect have been paired to your Mac and work reliably before using them with ToothFairy. 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. The battery indicator works with devices that can show their battery level in the Bluetooth pane of System Preferences.

Ratings and Reviews
Bien pratique quand on a un setup full Wireless 👍
Bon, comment dire ? Ça fait un moment que j'utilise ToothFairy et... quand on comprend son fonctionnement, c'est juste génial ! 👍 Mon utilité principale : connaître en temps réel l'autonomie restante par exemple de mon casque Jabra Evolve 75 😊 Par contre, certains claviers tiers comme le Wireless Keyboard de Matias, n'est pas reconnu (ce qui est un peu dommage, car d'autant plus que même si le constructeur dit que "la batterie dure plus de 3 mois", je suis sans cesse obligé de le recharger toutes les deu semaines en utilisation intensive) 😞 En soi, ça n'en reste pas moins un outil indispensable pour avoir la main sur l'autonomie restante de tels périphériques 😊 Petit investissement (5€ je crois), qui en vaut le coût (euh... le coup) 😊👍
Épatant !
J'avais acheté un casque de haute qualité seulement compatible avec les appareils mobiles comme l'iPad ou l'iPod et je regrettais de ne pouvoir le brancher en bluetooth sur mon Mac… Voilà qui est tranquillement résolu pour pas bien cher ! Appairage simple. Connection/déconnection ensuite par l'cône de la barre de menus. Manuel (en anglais) sur internet.
Magie de bluetooth
Petite app qui rend l'appareillage de mon casque audio simplissime et me montre sans détour le niveau de charge de la souris et du clavier. Le plus : le développeur est très réactif pour des demandes de support. Bravo !
