Originally posted by **istvanzk** July 6, 2021 Hi, Thank you for the nice tool. I wanted to run this on macOS (Darwin) but this was not supported 'out-of-the-box'. Luckily, the required code change to enable this is very simple. In ble_serial/__init__.py, I have modified line 3 to `if (platform.system() == 'Linux') or (platform.system() == 'Darwin'):` Also, the ReadMe could be updated to indicate that when running on macOS, the BT MAC address is not displayed by blue-scan and instead an OS specific UUID is displayed, which then can be used with the option -d. I have succesfully tested the above in macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina). Best
