ANCBuddy puts ANC mode and battery status for Bose QuietComfort Ultra devices into the macOS menu bar so you can toggle modes and monitor battery without opening another app. Free trial available; designed for commuters and focus-first workflows. Looking for feedback from QC Ultra users on macOS.
I’m the indie developer behind ANCBuddy. I built this after repeatedly switching apps to control my QC Ultra on macOS. Happy to answer technical questions, share the roadmap, and collect feedback.
While I believe the main hook is the simple control of the headphones via Mac: I honestly like the AI Auto-EQ Feature a lot! It's so simple and really increases the quality and depth of music I listen to. It's unique (nothing similar seen so far) and makes a difference. Try it out!
Congrats on the launch. QC Ultra supports Bluetooth multipoint - paired to two devices at once and switching audio between them. Does the menu bar state (ANC mode, battery) track correctly when the active device flips, or is it scoped to whatever Mac you're on regardless of which device the headphones are actually talking to right now?
