Toothpicks
Toothpicks is a free Bluetooth device manager for macOS created by William C. Gustafson (also known for Amphetamine). It lets users add favorite Bluetooth devices to the menu bar and connect or disconnect them with a single click, or via customizable hotkeys. The app displays battery levels for supported devices, can group devices into Collections for batch operations, and sends notifications when devices connect or disconnect. It includes no ads, in-app purchases, tracking or data harvesting. The app is designed as a lightweight utility for anyone who regularly switches between multiple Bluetooth peripherals like headphones, mice, keyboards and speakers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionToothpicks appears to be no longer actively maintained — the latest version (1.1.2) was released some time ago and the app has been removed from the Mac App Store. Search results do not indicate the existence of a native Apple Silicon build, and the developer has not announced plans for one. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on current Macs, but will stop working entirely when Apple removes Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028). Before relying on this app further, check the developer's site (williamcgustafson.com or the creator's GitHub) to confirm whether a native build or update is planned. If you need an actively maintained Bluetooth manager with confirmed Apple Silicon support, consider Bluetooth Screen Lock (free, native) or Commander One (paid, universal). If Toothpicks is essential to your workflow and no native update materializes, you may need to migrate your Bluetooth device management to macOS's built-in Bluetooth menu or start exploring alternatives now rather than waiting until 2028.
