Snooze Bluetooth Devices For Mac

Your Bluetooth devices remain connected to your Mac when it’s put into sleep mode, which can lead to unnecessarily high battery consumption, not to mention make it more difficult to switch to your phone afterwards.

Snooze Bluetooth Devices is a descriptive name for an app that does exactly that: when your Mac goes to sleep, selected devices will be disconnected from your Mac automatically, and then reconnected when your Mac wakes up.

While there are other apps that disable Bluetooth entirely when in sleep mode, you may not want every Bluetooth device to be disabled when your Mac goes to sleep. This app allows you to select the exact devices that should be disconnected and then reconnected.

Every available device can be seen from the menu bar, with the currently active one highlighted. When clicking them, they will be moved to the top of the list, indicating that they will be snoozed when in sleep mode.

If you’re trying to save battery power or want to make it easier to switch to a different device, such as your phone, when closing your MacBook’s lid, this app should be very helpful.

There’s little more to say about how the app works, other than the fact that you should probably have it run at Login after configuring it. Once you’ve done so, you shouldn’t even need to open it again, as it will handle everything from the background.

It only runs in the menu bar, and this icon can easily be hidden with various apps designed for status bar customization.

Snooze Bluetooth Devices is a great utility, and it’s completely free. If you’ve had any problems with Bluetooth connectivity when your Mac goes to sleep, you should absolutely try it out.
