About:
blueutil is a command-line utility for controlling Bluetooth on macOS. It allows users to toggle power state, set discoverable mode, and query device information programmatically. The tool provides a simple interface for automation and scripting scenarios where GUI interaction is impractical.
Key Features:
  • Toggle Bluetooth power state on/off
  • Set and query discoverable status
  • List paired and discoverable devices
  • Script-friendly command-line interface
  • No GUI dependencies
Use Cases:
  • Automating Bluetooth setup in deployment scripts
  • Power management for battery optimization
  • Building custom Bluetooth monitoring tools
Alternatives:
  • Bluetooth CLI (built-in) – Limited functionality compared to blueutil's granular control
  • bluetoothconnector – Focuses on device connection management rather than power state
