## What it is
Bluesnooze is a macOS menu bar utility that automatically switches Bluetooth off when your Mac sleeps and back on when it wakes. It prevents a sleeping Mac from hijacking shared Bluetooth accessories like headphones or speakers.

## Use cases
- stop my sleeping mac from stealing bluetooth headphones
- prevent mac from connecting to bluetooth speakers at night
- automatically disable bluetooth when mac sleeps
- fix audio being interrupted by sleeping macbook
- toggle bluetooth on sleep and wake on macos

## When to choose
- you share Bluetooth accessories between a Mac and another device like a phone
- you want a simple, set-and-forget menu bar app installed via Homebrew
- you don't need per-device disconnect control

## When to avoid
- you use the Apple Watch to unlock your Mac feature
- you need to selectively disconnect only certain Bluetooth devices
- you need an App Store-distributed application
