Bluesnooze

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.

Features

• Automatically disables Bluetooth when Mac sleeps
• Re-enables Bluetooth when Mac wakes
• Runs unobtrusively in the menu bar
• Optional: Hide the menu bar icon via command line
• Launch at login support
