Akku: Experimental Bluetooth headset battery monitoring application for macOS

This is cool and works with my headset JBL Reflect Contour Mini!

The fact that Apple "hides" this because you are not using an apple product is gross and stupid in any "Pro" context.

I honestly don't think "actively annoying" people and bullying them into buying apple accessories is creating increased margins - also most products have no apple alternative - i simply don't get this.

"It will map a region of memory from the kernel to Akku, and scan through the raw bluetooth data."

I thought that the Bluetooth support on Apple devices was already crippled by Apple buy this is (for me) a brand new way to shoot yourself in the foot.

It would be interesting to someone from that company to explain the decisions taken to limit which parts of Bluetooth BR/EDR and Bluetooth LE they support and the limitations the force on their users.

I think this fits in good here http://blog.spencermounta.in/2020/should-we-stop/index.html

Not directed at OP or Akku creator, but more in general.

Awesome! I recently got a pair of BT headphones and was surprised that my Android phone and Windows machine showed the battery level, but that my MacBook Pro didn't. Especially since the battery level is exposed via a standard BTLE characteristic

Works well for the WF-1000MX3 .

Notification feature will be handy to remind me charge the damn things when they're getting low (i've got the voice prompts off).

Are there any similar applications/widget in Linux especially in KDE Plasma that can do this?

Very cool! Works with my Sony WH-CH510 headphones. Looking forward to checking out the source.

Been a while since there was an update to this project...
