Bindrune

A Bluetooth and OBEX client for Linux desktops that is straight to the point, DE/WM agnostic, and beautiful.

The name comes from the Bluetooth logo, a bindrune that joins the runes ᚼ and ᛒ, the initials of Harald Bluetooth. Bindrune is a hard fork of Overskride by kaii.

Animation of the pairing timeline, which follows a device from unknown to connected

What it does

  • Lists the devices the adapter knows or finds while scanning.
  • Shows pairing, trust and connection as one timeline per device, with the reason when a step fails and what fixes it.
  • Shows each adapter’s hardware and whether other devices can see it.
  • Sends and receives files over OBEX.
  • Switches audio profiles and reports battery levels and link quality.
  • Keeps running in the background, so phones can still pair and send files while the window is closed.
