I have trouble with the value proposition. If I understand correctly only the noise-cancelling toggle is a proprietary Bluetooth feature of the Bose? Since f.e. Toothfairy[1] also handles the connection of -all- BT devices for your mac (not only Bose headphones), shows battery info and is $ 5.99.

This is interesting. The biggest problem I have with my Bose is that they are listening to another device (e.g. my phone) instead of my macbook, even if they are Bluetooth connected. What I would do with the authors app is disconnect my phone from the headphones. I'm not sure I can do this with Toothfairy.

Not sure if this is on other Bose headphones, but my QC35's can cycle through known devices with the power button

[edit] removed assumption about functionality presence on all Bose headphones

By chance do you know of a Windows alternative (likely w/o the battery level indicator and the like, but specifically the redirecting the headphones/airpods/whatever to the device or to another such as a paired phone part)?
