Features
Everything your Bluetooth audio needs, on the home screen
A focused toolkit for the devices you actually use — no account needed, no setup beyond pairing, just a tap away on your home screen.
Live battery levels
See battery right on the widget — including separate left, right and case readings for supported AirPods, Pixel Buds and Galaxy Buds.
A widget per device
Add a dedicated widget for each device, with a custom image or icon and a background that fills to show the battery level.
Auto-open your music
Launch Spotify or any app the moment a device connects — and optionally start playback, even while the phone is locked.
Per-device volume memory
Save a preferred media and call volume for each device and restore it automatically on reconnect — quiet earbuds, loud car, handled.
Connection stats & history
Track daily connection time, connection count and a full event log per device, with charts going back across the week.

How it works
From pairing to playing in four steps

Pair your headphones or speaker in Android's Bluetooth settings, as usual. The app works with devices you've already paired.
Add the widget
Long-press your home screen, choose Bluetooth Audio Connect Widget, and place a widget for the device you want quick access to.
Tap to connect
One tap connects the device. The widget turns to its connected style and the background fills to show the battery.
Play instantly
Your chosen app opens automatically and your saved volume is restored. Audio starts without another touch.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the app pair new Bluetooth devices? +
No — the app connects to devices you've already paired. Scanning and pairing new devices has to be done once through Android's system Bluetooth menu. After that, the widget handles connecting and disconnecting.
Why can't the app turn Bluetooth on by itself? +
On Android 13 and later, Google no longer lets apps enable Bluetooth without a user confirmation. This is a platform restriction with no workaround, so you may be asked to confirm turning Bluetooth on.
The battery level isn't showing — why? +
Battery reporting depends on the device and the manufacturer. It requires Android 8.1 or later, and the device has to support it. Per-bud and case readings are available on a specific list of models, including Apple AirPods, Google Pixel Buds and several Samsung Galaxy Buds.
The selected app doesn't open when my device connects. +
Check the app's permissions. Some manufacturers (for example Xiaomi / MIUI) require extra permissions, and on Android 9+ the “Display over other apps” permission may be needed to launch another app on connect.
It stops working in the background after a while. +
This is almost always a battery-saver issue. Turn off battery optimisation for Bluetooth Audio Connect Widget in your system settings. The site dontkillmyapp.com has step-by-step instructions per phone brand.
Can it play to two speakers at once (dual audio)? +
Not generally. Connecting two speakers simultaneously is available only on a few Samsung phones and isn't exposed to third-party apps. Bluetooth LE Audio is expected to make this possible more broadly in the future.
Does it work with smartwatches or laptops? +
Those aren't controllable as audio devices and can only be used in shortcut mode. The app is built for A2DP / HFP / HSP audio devices — headphones, earbuds, speakers and car systems.
A device won't connect from the widget. +
First check whether it connects from the system Bluetooth settings. If it connects there but not from the widget, get in touch by email and we'll help track it down.
