Hello Lemmy,
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.
This release contains the following new features:
-
Adapter status display, which will dynamically show whether the adapter is in any of the powered/discoverable/pairable/scanning states
-
A HJSON based configuration format, with customizable keybindings and optional config file generation
-
Popup resize and mouse-handling improvements. Each popup can now be closed by pressing the ‘X’ button
I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.
Bluetuith is the only Bluetooth manager I’ve found that allows me to manage Bluetooth on my laptop. Most others I’ve tried just get stuck on a hardware disabled Bluetooth device while another one is perfectly useable. Thank’s for creating this awesome tool
This looks great for headless devices. A Debian ARM package would be nice, just to keep it updated easier since it seems active.

Alright, now you got my interest.
