winget install --id=tattsun.easy-handoff -e easy-handoff is a small system tray app that connects or disconnects a paired Bluetooth audio device (AirPods, Sony, Bose, ...) with a single left click, without opening the Bluetooth settings. Handy when you switch your earbuds between a phone and a Windows PC.
English | 日本語
Connect and disconnect Bluetooth headphones and earbuds (AirPods, Sony, Bose, ...) with a single click from the Windows system tray. If you switch your headphones between a phone and a Windows PC, this saves you from opening the Bluetooth settings and pressing "Connect" every time.
Install from the Microsoft Store (recommended; updates are automatic).
Alternatively, download easy-handoff-setup-x.y.z.exe from Releases and run it (no administrator rights required).
If you prefer not to use the installer, put easy-handoff-x.y.z-portable.exe anywhere you like and run it.
> The device must already be paired in the Windows Bluetooth settings.
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Left click | Toggle connect / disconnect |
| Right click | Menu (connect / disconnect, device selection, launch at startup, quit) |
Tray icon:
Choose the target device from Devices in the right-click menu (by default, the first device whose name contains AirPods, or else the first Bluetooth audio device). The selection is remembered.
The UI is shown in Japanese when the Windows display language is Japanese, and in English otherwise. Set EASY_HANDOFF_LANG=en or ja to override.
easy-handoff.exe list | connect | disconnect | toggle | tray [device-name]
The executable is built as a GUI app, so PowerShell does not wait for it or show its output unless you pipe it, e.g. easy-handoff.exe list | Out-String.
Just like the "Connect" button in the Bluetooth settings, it sends
KSPROPERTY_ONESHOT_RECONNECT / KSPROPERTY_ONESHOT_DISCONNECT from the KSPROPSETID_BtAudio property set to the device's Bluetooth audio KS filters.
The toolchain is managed with mise. Building requires Visual Studio Build Tools (MSVC).
mise install
cargo build --release
