aperçu
Get/set bluetooth power and discoverable state
historique
blueutil is a long-running macOS command-line utility for reading and changing Bluetooth state: power, discoverability, paired and connected devices, device info, pairing, connection, and output formats for scripts.
blueutil was originally written by Frederik Seiffert and later maintained by Ivan Kuchin, as recorded in the README copyright section. The GitHub repository dates back to 2011, with v1.0.0 tagged in 2012 and a continuing v2.x release line.
The tool grew from simple power and discoverability controls into a broader Bluetooth scripting interface. The README documents private IOBluetooth framework use, root-user safeguards, JSON output formats, device connection operations, wait commands, and an experimental system_profiler fallback for some paired-device queries.
blueutil became the standard package-manager answer for 'control Bluetooth from a shell on macOS.' Its README documents Homebrew and MacPorts installs, and the input metadata also records a Nix package, reflecting adoption by both casual Mac users and reproducible-environment users.
Its role persisted because macOS does not expose all of these Bluetooth controls through a stable, script-friendly built-in CLI, so package managers filled the gap with a small native utility.
Users run blueutil with flags such as --power, --discoverable, --paired, --connected, --info, --connect, --disconnect, --pair, and --unpair. Output can be human-readable or JSON, making it useful in shell scripts, status bars, automation tools, and troubleshooting flows.
The README warns that it uses private IOBluetooth preference APIs and documents macOS-version quirks such as favorite/recent-device behavior starting with macOS 12 Monterey.
blueutil is the classic tiny Mac systems package: one binary that unlocks automation around a GUI-controlled OS feature. Package nerds care because it has survived macOS Bluetooth API changes, packaging across Homebrew/MacPorts/Nix, architecture transitions, and years of shell-script dependence.
It also illustrates the maintenance burden of packaging native Mac utilities: private frameworks, root behavior, TCC/API access failures, output formats for scripts, and compatibility notes all live in a very small command-line surface.
