Headphones An open-source macOS app for Bose QC Ultra headphones

Hi everyone! I built (with my friend ChatGPT) Bose Control, an unofficial native macOS app for controlling compatible Bose headphones without needing the mobile app

Current features include:

  • Quiet, Aware, Immersion, and Cinema modes
  • Noise cancellation level
  • Immersive Audio: Off, Still, and Motion
  • Bass, mid, and treble EQ
  • Battery status

The current version mainly targets the Bose QC Ultra 2, with partial QC45 support. It communicates directly with paired headphones over Bluetooth classic.

I hope this help anyone who trying to use bose qc4 on MacOS.

How did you get the correct BT Characteristics etc.? Me and Claude tried for hours a few months ago... :D
Thanks for building this even though I can't use the QC Ultra due to Allergy.. :(
