# Alfred Bluetooth Workflow
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[Alfred 3](https://www.alfredapp.com/) workflow to quickly connect / disconnect Bluetooth devices.
## Installation
Simply download the latest [`Bluetooth Connector.alfredworkflow`](https://github.com/tilmanginzel/alfred-bluetooth-workflow/releases)
release and double-click to import into Alfred.
Note regarding macOS 14 (Sonoma): Starting with Sonoma, it is necessary to give Alfred bluetooth access. It can be done by navigating to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth and adding Alfred to the list of apps by clicking the plus icon and choosing Alfred.
Note regarding macOS 10.15 (Catalina): Since MacOS 10.15, [Notarization](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution) is required for apps.
As this workflow and its distributed binaries are not notarized, please try the following workaround:
- Install an [old version](https://github.com/tilmanginzel/alfred-bluetooth-workflow/releases/download/v0.4.0/Bluetooth.Connector.alfredworkflow) of the workflow
- Update via `blt workflow:update`
See [#9](https://github.com/tilmanginzel/alfred-bluetooth-workflow/issues/9) for more information and other possible [workarounds](https://github.com/tilmanginzel/alfred-bluetooth-workflow/issues/9#issuecomment-539647706).
## Features
* Connect / disconnect to any known Bluetooth device by typing `blt {device}`
* Optionally filter devices by name
* Already connected devices are highlighted with a green icon
* Toggle Bluetooth on or off via `blt-on`, `blt-off` or simply `blt-toggle`
* Restart Bluetooth via `blt-restart`
* Workflow updates via `blt workflow:update` (Thanks to @trietsch)
* Desktop notifications for all commands and their results
* Failed commands can be retried by simply clicking on the notification
## Attribution
* [trietsch/alfred-bluetooth-connector](https://github.com/trietsch/alfred-bluetooth-connector) by Robin Trietsch was used as an inspiration for this workflow implementation.
* [toy/blueutil](https://github.com/toy/blueutil) is used to easily connect/disconnect a Bluetooth device by its MAC address and toggle Bluetooth on/off. It was originally developed by Frederik Seiffert and is now being continued by Ivan Kuchin.
* [julienXX/terminal-notifier](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier) is used to show a notification of the result for each command.
* [deanishe/alfred-workflow](https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow) is used to check for new workflow updates. Many thanks to [NorthIsUp/alfred-workflow-py3](https://github.com/NorthIsUp/alfred-workflow-py3) and [tomy0000000/alfred-workflow-py3](https://github.com/tomy0000000/alfred-workflow-py3) for providing a Python 3 compatible version.
