Love the way AirPods work with an iPhone but a little meh about how they work with a Mac? The AirBuddy Mac app will connect AirPods to Mac, with enhancements that provide the same advanced features you enjoy when using Apple’s earbuds with an iPhone.
You can grab AirBuddy for only $8.99. (And if you don’t already own AirPods, and you’re a Costco member, don’t miss this hot deal on AirPods Pro with USB-C case. It’s somehow still going strong!)
Give your Mac more customizable listening options with AirBuddy app
AirBuddy, at its most basic, serves as a bridge between your AirPods (or your Beats headphones) and your Mac. First of all, you can see the status of your headphones whenever you’re close to your Mac, just like when you’re connected to your iPhone.
Swiping on your Mac’s trackpad lets you change listening modes without having to break your flow, while configurable battery alerts let you know when you need to juice up.
And AirBuddy is not just about AirPods. It also comes with a Magic Handoff function that lets you quickly swap your Magic Mouse, keyboard and other peripherals between Macs with a click so you can keep working. A recent upgrade speeds up the already fast tradeoff, making it even smoother and more reliable.
It doesn’t just work with AirPods
The latest updates to the AirBuddy Mac app make it even more useful, adding compatibility with other brands of headphones. The engine has been redesigned to detect your headphones up to five times faster.
Plus, AirBuddy’s interface was redesigned to be even more user-friendly. And there’s enhanced functionality for Apple’s Shortcuts app, allowing for device information retrieval, connection, settings modification and more in a pinch.
There are plenty of other innovative updates, but perhaps the most exciting is AirBuddy’s flexible changing of listening modes for AirPods Pro and AirPods Max, even when they aren’t connected to a Mac. No wonder this great Mac app for AirPods boasts a 4.8-star rating out of five.
