Two apps for seamless control
Once you go Mac, you never go back. You go another Mac, iMac, iPhone, iPad, and AirPods. As we embrace more and more Apple devices, it’s easy to get bogged down in complicated connect-and-disconnect workflows. Here are two buddies for seamless handoff and switching across devices.
Device control buddies
Connect and manage wireless devices
Including non-Apple headphones! AirBuddy is a huge enhancement of macOS native settings.
Here’s how AirBuddy can be a time-saver:
Speed up device connection flow. With macOS native Bluetooth utility, you’ll sometimes have to wait a few seconds before your AirPods connect to Mac. With AirBuddy, it’s literally less than a second. Thanks to the unique Proximity technology, AirBuddy is like a magnet, recognizing and connecting nearby devices instantly.
Swap Keyboard and Trackpad between Macs. You can hand off your Magic Keyboard or Trackpad to another Mac with a click.
Toggle AirPods listening modes. From noise-canceling to transparency, you can change the mode even without your AirPods outputting sound.
Pin your preferred device. It’s perfect if you tend to switch between different headphones.
Create battery alerts. Get notified when battery goes below certain level — you can customize these alerts for each device individually.
Create presets for your multi-monitor setup
If you have more than one monitor, DisplayBuddy will ease your pain of having to change color, brightness, and volume on each of them individually. Especially the volume thing — it’s infuriating! DisplayBuddy lets you create presets and save display settings across multiple monitors. This seemingly trivial tweak makes a huge difference, give it a try!
Hope this use case will help you solve tasks faster, and enjoy solving them, too! Check out more use cases picked for you below.
