A cross-platform terminal user interface (TUI) for managing Bluetooth adapters and devices.
bluetuith is a terminal user interface (TUI) Bluetooth manager that allows users to control Bluetooth adapters and devices from the command line. It provides functionality for connecting devices, transferring files, and managing media playback without requiring a graphical interface. The project aims to replace traditional Bluetooth managers with a lightweight, keyboard-focused alternative.
System administrators, developers, and power users who prefer terminal-based tools and want to manage Bluetooth devices without graphical desktop environments.
Unlike graphical Bluetooth managers, bluetuith offers full Bluetooth management capabilities directly in the terminal with cross-platform support. Its TUI interface provides efficient keyboard-driven interaction while maintaining features like file transfers and media control.
