btleplug is an async Rust library for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) GATT access in host/central mode, supporting Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It provides cross-platform device discovery, service/characteristic access, and communication over native BLE stacks.

Use cases

scan for nearby BLE devices from a Rust application
read and write GATT characteristics across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
build a cross-platform BLE central-mode tool in Rust
enumerate Bluetooth LE adapters and discover services and characteristics
connect to BLE peripherals like heart rate monitors or sensors from Rust
embed BLE connectivity in a Flutter Android/iOS app via Rust

When to choose

you need a single Rust codebase for BLE central-mode operations across all major desktop and mobile platforms
you want async BLE APIs backed by native stacks (BlueZ, CoreBluetooth, WinRT)
you only need host/central mode and don't need Bluetooth Classic

When to avoid

you need peripheral mode (acting as a BLE device) - use bluster or ble-peripheral-rust instead
you need Bluetooth 2/Classic support, which is explicitly not supported
you need WebBluetooth/WASM support, which is not yet released
