AirBuddy 3 brings over 150 new features and improvements, including a new design, powerful new ways to keep an eye on your devices, deeper media integration, revamped Magic Handoff, and many new options for automation and customization.
Ever sice its initial release back in early 2019, AirBuddy has been helping users manage their wireless Apple devices on macOS. AirBuddy 3 is the first major update since the launch of AirBuddy 2.6 back in 2022.
I'm really happy with the improvements in this release, from the refreshed design with Liquid Glass in macOS Tahoe to the under-the-hood changes that improve reliability for Magic Handoff and device connectivity.
Moving peripherals between Macs is the feature I have wanted for years. Right now I do the Bluetooth menu dance every time I switch from the laptop to the desktop, so if AirBuddy 3 handles a keyboard and mouse handoff cleanly that alone is worth it.
I hunted AirBuddy 2.0 six years ago — and I've been following it's evolution ever since then. v3.0 is a massive upgrade and for anyone that uses Apple peripherals, you should really check this out.
Not only that — but I built a Raycast extension (pending review) for AirBuddy so you can control all your devices from the comfort of your keyboard!
