BudsLink is a standalone GJS-based application that provides battery monitoring and feature control for supported Bluetooth earbuds. It can be used either as a plain GJS script or as a prebuilt Flatpak package compiled using Github Actions and distributed via GitHub Releases.
- Displays the battery level of the headset
- Displays individual battery levels for earbuds (left, right, and charging case), if supported
- Controls Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and related listening modes, if supported
- Supports additional device-specific features where available
- Can be installed and run as a Flatpak app, or launched directly as a GJS script
- Supports overriding the system default accent color and dark mode settings
- AirPods
- Beats

BudsLink can be used in two different ways, depending on whether you want a ready-to-use application or a developer/debug-friendly script.
The Flatpak version is a fully packaged, sandboxed application built automatically via GitHub Actions and distributed through GitHub Releases.
- No manual dependency management
- Works consistently across distributions
- Best choice for end users
➡️ Install and run using Flatpak
The GJS script runs BudsLink directly on your system without sandboxing.
- Intended for developers and advanced users
- Easier debugging and logging
- Requires system dependencies to be installed manually
