Dear devs,

really like the app, but would be nice to have a force connect functon if I click on the favicon in the taskbar.

Looking forward to the implementation.

Best

I will consider this feature. For now, if you're being annoyed by your AirPods always automatically connecting to your iPhone instead of your PC, there's a solution for that.

Connect to AirPods from your iPhone.
Open: Settings -> Bluetooth -> MY DEVICES -> 'i' icon of your AirPods -> Connect to This iPhone
Switch to 'When Last Connected to This iPhone'
Now your AirPods will automatically connect to the last connected device, instead of always your iPhone.

Agree this settings help. But a force connect would be even nicer and user friendly. Highly appreciate your effort on this! Especially with Windows 11 connecting is a nightmare.

Hi,

I also would like this feature.

Scenario:

My airpods are connected to my iphone, I just finished a call.
I receive incoming VC call in my PC, I would like to take that call with my airpods.
I need to go to windows bluetooth settings, select the ipods and connect.
- open application
- select the device
- click connect

It is working, but it would be nice if I can right click the tray icon and connect.

Regards
