About:
BlueSense is a macOS utility that monitors Bluetooth connections to automatically detect the presence or absence of your devices. It triggers specific actions, such as locking your screen or launching applications, based on these proximity changes. This tool enhances security and workflow automation by responding to your physical presence.

Key Features:

Automated screen locking based on Bluetooth device proximity
Customizable actions for device connection and disconnection events
Supports a wide range of Bluetooth devices including headphones and smartphones
Runs discreetly in the menu bar with low system resource usage

Use Cases:

Automatically lock your Mac when you walk away with your iPhone or AirPods
Wake your Mac from sleep and unlock the screen when you return to your desk
Launch specific applications or scripts when connecting to a car stereo or headset

Alternatives:

Near Lock – Similar functionality but with a focus on iPhone-based proximity unlocking via an iOS companion app.
AutoLock – A simpler utility focused primarily on screen locking based on device proximity without extensive scripting capabilities.
