About

wechsel

wechsel (/ˈvɛksəl/) claims to simplify the interaction with bluetooth connections on macOS. Instead of using the builtin Bluetooth menu bar, you can seamlessly switch between bluetooth audio devices using your keyboard. The tool offers a global hotkey to display a Spotlight-like window. It seeks to be a more generic alternative for similar tools like ToothFairy and AirBuddy. The implementation is based on the work of blueutil and utilizes the system level IOBluetooth framework.

Installation

Install using homebrew:

brew cask install friedrichweise/wechsel/wechsel

or download the application from the release-page.

Problem: “wechsel.app” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

Run:

xattr -cr /Applications/wechsel.app
Development Setup
git clone git@github.com:friedrichweise/wechsel.git
carthage update --platform macos
open wechsel.xcodeproj
