Hello Lemmy,

With this release, bluetuith now has initial cross-platform support, and works on Windows. Windows specific instructions are here, tl;dr install haraltd and bluetuith together.

There are no new features introduced, only other optimisations and bug fixes for Linux.

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

General Information

Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager for Linux, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:

  • Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the ‘Info’ option in the menu or by clicking the ‘i’ key.

  • Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.

  • Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.

  • Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device

  • Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls.

    I have been using this for a long while now, it is really good. Navigation is a bit strange but one gets use to it fast.

    I love Bluetuith! It’s my go-to for Bluetooth device management in my setup, since TUI applications tend to integrate really well into my existing theme, since I’ve set up my preferred terminal colors already.

    I can imagine this would be a great option now for Windows users who already use the terminal frequently, like devs!
