Overview
sbtfix is a small native macOS menu-bar app for controlling Sony headphones and earbuds without a phone. Sony does not publish a Mac version of its Sound Connect app, so sbtfix talks to the headphones over Bluetooth using the same protocol as the phone app. It supports models such as WH-1000XM4, XM5 and XM6, WF-1000XM4 and XM5, and LinkBuds S. It is written in Swift, needs no network access and is released under the MIT license.

- Switch Noise Cancelling, Ambient Sound and Off in one click
- Ambient level slider, Focus on Voice and Speak-to-Chat toggles
- Battery level, with left, right and case for earbuds

Best for
