What's new

v2.8 [May 11, 2022]
- If a Bluetooth audio device is connected but is not selected as the sound output device—as can happen if you are using Automatic Device Switching—ToothFairy now shows its menu bar icon as solid but faded out.
- Telling ToothFairy to connect to a Bluetooth device that’s connected but not the current sound output device will now set it as the sound output device instead of disconnecting.
- ToothFairy is better at detecting when a Bluetooth device has connected or disconnected in cases where macOS did not notify it.
- ToothFairy now converts carriage returns to line breaks when saving a script, as improper line breaks can prevent scripts from running.
- Updated the “How can I turn off Automatic Device Switching?” section of the manual.
- Worked around a macOS issue where sometimes a Bluetooth audio device would connect without being set as the sound output target.
- Worked around a macOS issue where an incorrect Bluetooth device name could be shown after disconnecting and reconnecting.
- Worked around some macOS issues that could cause crashes when reading battery information or adding a new Bluetooth device.
- Fixed a bug where the spinning progress indicator would be drawn for Light Mode when the Mac was running in Light Mode but the transparent menu bar was showing a dark desktop picture underneath. ToothFairy now treats this as defacto Dark Mode to make the progress indicator easier to see and match the rest of the menu bar content.
- Fixed a bug where the progress indicator for a device icon could be drawn on top of it.
- Fixed a bug where a connection or disconnection script could be run multiple times for the same event.
- Fixed a bug where device names were prematurely truncated in the preferences table view.
If you enjoy using ToothFairy, please take a moment to rate it or leave a review. We’d really appreciate it.

v2.7 [Nov 4, 2020]
- Worked around an issue with macOS 11 that could cause Bluetooth to time out when connecting a device.
- Improved the “Improve sound quality by disabling audio input from device” and “Why isn’t my device connecting?” sections of the manual.
- Added the “How can I turn off Automatic Device Switching?” section of the manual.
- Fixed a regression where the “Global hotkey to connect/disconnect” button didn’t work with VoiceOver.
- Added accessibility names and titles in the Preferences window.
- Modernized code for Xcode 12.4.
