Instead, I used headphones with my Mac’s 3.5mm audio jack because AirPods weren’t worth the trouble. In the past, I’ve rarely connected my AirPods to my Mac. It’s easy enough to check the battery of devices sitting nearby without the help of AirBuddy, but it’s nice that I can also see that the battery of my iPad sitting two floors above me is running low and should be plugged in if I want to read in bed tonight.
There is a Mac Today widget that provides battery status for your Mac and any headphones or iOS devices you’ve ever connected to your Mac too. It also allows you to connect them to your Mac with a single click. Instead, once you’ve adjusted the app’s handful of settings to your liking, the app appears almost immediately when you open your AirPods case near your Mac or turn on your Beats headphones.ĪirBuddy doesn’t just provide the status of your AirPods though. The app runs in the background as a helper process, so you won’t usually see a window or dock icon while it’s running. That means in addition to AirPods, AirBuddy can also control Beats headphones that have a W1 wireless chip.

The app works with a Mac that supports Bluetooth LE and is running macOS Mojave and any headphones that include Apple’s proprietary W1 chip. AirBuddy solves that problem, making it as trivially easy to connect AirPods to a Mac as it is to do the same with an iPhone.
AirPods connect almost instantly to iOS devices, but the process of pairing them to a Mac is not as simple, often requiring fiddling with your Mac’s Bluetooth settings from the menu bar or System Preferences. AirBuddy by Guilherme Rambo is one of the handiest Mac utilities I’ve tried in a while.
