blueutil is a command-line utility for controlling Bluetooth on macOS, written in Objective-C. It can toggle power and discoverable state, list paired/connected/recent devices, inquire devices in range, and connect, disconnect, pair, or unpair devices.
Use cases
- toggle bluetooth power from the command line on mac
- list paired or connected bluetooth devices via cli
- connect or disconnect a bluetooth device from a script
- make mac discoverable over bluetooth programmatically
- pair a bluetooth device with a pin from terminal
- script bluetooth device management on macos
When to choose
- you need to script or automate Bluetooth control on macOS
- you want to query or manage Bluetooth devices without opening System Settings
- you're building automation around Bluetooth device connections on a Mac
When to avoid
- you need Bluetooth control on Linux or Windows
- you need a stable public API - blueutil relies on private IOBluetooth APIs
- you need favourite/recent device lists on macOS 12 or later, where those commands return empty
