ToothFairy review
A paid macOS utility for switching Bluetooth audio devices from the menu bar.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ToothFairy is a macOS menu bar utility for connecting to and switching between Bluetooth audio devices, including AirPods and other headphones. It is aimed at Mac users who want to change their audio connection without navigating Bluetooth settings. From the menu bar, a user can connect to a selected device with a click or a keyboard shortcut, and assign a custom icon to each device. Its scope is deliberately specific: it addresses audio device switching rather than offering a broader set of menu bar tools.
The main appeal is the combination of direct menu bar access and shortcuts. A user can assign a keyboard shortcut to connect to a device, which can make the action available without opening Bluetooth settings or selecting a menu bar item. Custom icons provide a way to distinguish devices in the menu bar. AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones are included in its stated device support. Buyers looking for those particular controls may find the focused feature set a closer fit than a general-purpose utility.
ToothFairy is a paid app with a listed starting price of 4.99 and no free plan. Its stated platform is macOS, so it is suited to Mac users rather than people seeking a cross-platform device switching tool. The narrow focus also means it is not a fit for buyers looking for a wider menu bar feature set. Choose it if quick Bluetooth audio connection and switching, keyboard shortcuts, or per-device icons are priorities; look elsewhere if you need broader functionality or a free option.
