Using AirPods with a Mac is not a big deal, but not as seamless as AirPods automatically connecting to the iPhone. If you use AirPods regularly while working or watching videos on a Mac, you need to know about two simple applications and make sure you don't need to touch the Bluetooth settings.
ToothFairy
ToothFairy is available in Mac App Store for $ 3 (69,000VND). The application will place an icon in the Mac's menu bar, then you can click to connect and disconnect AirPods. You can also create a shortcut to create or disconnect between Mac and AirPods. There are a number of icons you can choose to place in the menu bar, including an AirPod-like icon and you can select the box to add a battery indicator next to the icon. The icon will appear when the AirPod is connected and disappears when there is no connection. All are very simple and easy.
This application is not only for AirPods. You can use ToothFairy to manage other Bluetooth devices within your Mac.
AirBuddy
Another application to use AirPods with Mac is AirBuddy. It is available on GumRoad with the proposed donation amount of $ 5 (115,000 VND). This application simulates the battery status screen you see on your iPhone when you open the AirPods shell near it. With the app installed on your Mac, you'll see similar rotary icons for AirPods and charging boxes with battery status, in the small window that slides down from the top edge of the Mac screen when you open AirPods. (When launching the app, you can choose to open this window on the left, right or center of the screen. And you can turn on this app for other W1 headsets, including some Beats models). Just click the window to connect your Mac and AirPods.
AirBuddy requires Bluetooth LE and MacOS Mojave. If your Mac supports AirDrop, Hand Off and Continuity, everything will be fine.
Among the two applications mentioned above, more people prefer ToothFairy because the image continuously indicates the connection status of AirPods in a blink of an eye.
Wish you have the right choice!
