About:
Bluesnooze is a lightweight utility that prevents your Mac from connecting to Bluetooth devices while it is sleeping. It runs quietly in the menu bar, automatically disabling Bluetooth connections upon sleep and re-enabling them upon wake. This helps preserve battery life and avoids unwanted audio interruptions or connection drops.

Key Features:

Automatic sleep detection and Bluetooth management
Menu bar interface for easy control and status visibility
Lightweight and unobtrusive background operation
Prevents battery drain from idle Bluetooth connections

Use Cases:

Users wanting to prevent Bluetooth headphones from waking the Mac or interrupting other devices
Reducing power consumption on laptops during sleep
Avoiding unwanted connections to peripherals like keyboards or mice when the Mac is asleep

Alternatives:

Bluetooth Connector – Similar functionality but Bluesnooze is specifically focused on sleep behavior and is open source
Manual Scripting – Using launchd or shell scripts to toggle Bluetooth, which requires more setup and maintenance
