BTProximity: Automate Actions with Bluetooth Devices
A free, open source Mac app that allows you to automatically perform actions when Bluetooth devices come into range or go out of range.
What is BTProximity?
BTProximity is a free, open source application for Mac that allows you to automatically trigger actions when Bluetooth devices come into or go out of range. It works by detecting nearby Bluetooth devices and matching them against user-defined rules and actions.
Some examples of how BTProximity can be used:
- Pause music when you leave your desk by detecting when your phone or Bluetooth headset moves out of range
- Resume music when you return to your desk and your device is back in range
- Mute notifications when a Bluetooth headset connects (to avoid duplicate alerts)
- Display a reminder when you leave the house without your keys or wallet that has a Bluetooth tracker
BTProximity has a simple and intuitive user interface where you can define rules based on Bluetooth device presence, names, and signal strength. Actions like pausing media, activating Do Not Disturb, displaying alerts, and running shell scripts allow for powerful automations.
As an open source app with regular updates, BTProximity works reliably and has an active community behind it. With versatile trigger conditions and actions, it's a useful tool for Mac users who want location-based automation tied to Bluetooth devices.
