How to keep a device visible in AirBuddy

AirBuddy normally displays devices when their information is available and relevant. For example, AirPods can appear while nearby, mobile devices appear while reporting battery information within a reasonable time interval, and third-party accessories usually appear only when connected.

Pin a device to keep it in the Dashboard and device lists even when AirBuddy can’t currently reach it.

Pin from the Dashboard

1. Open the AirBuddy Dashboard.
2. Right-click or Control-click the device.
3. Choose Pin.

Pin from settings

1. Open AirBuddy settings and select Devices.
2. Locate the device.
3. Click its pin button, or use the More menu and choose the pin action.

Pinned devices remain visible with their most recently available information. Pinning doesn’t keep a Bluetooth connection open and doesn’t increase the accessory’s power usage.

You can also mark a headset as a favorite. Favorite-device actions and shortcuts use that choice when more than one compatible headset is available.
