All Galaxy Buds models are supported!
SmartScreen notice
The current Windows installer seems to trigger a SmartScreen ('unrecognized developer') warning on some systems, most likely because I'm publishing these installers as unsigned binaries. Unfortunately, using a proper code signing certificate is not an option since I cannot afford recurring monthly payments for an open-source app with zero budget.
What's Changed (v4.5.2)
- Hotfix: Support for devices with personalized names
What's Changed (v4.5.1)
- Linux: Native tray icon support
- Hotfix: Accidentally leftover debug code in v4.5.0 suppressed all disconnect/error events and made it impossible to reconnect once disconnected
- Upgrade to .NET 6
- DevTools: Auto-scroll binary dump and message list
- Linux: Override Bluetooth adapter using an environment variable (e.g.
BT_ADAPTER=hci0) - Fixed crash in WelcomePage

Note to Linux users
- x86_64-musl binaries are only compatible with libc-musl based distributions (e.g., Alpine Linux).
- You need to give the binary execute permissions before launching it:
chmod +x GalaxyBudsClient - If your system language is set to a language that has non-Latin characters (Korean, Japanese, Chinese), you need to start the app like this:
LC_ALL=C ./GalaxyBudsClient(temporary workaround)
Privacy
- This application collects crash dumps in case of fatal application crashes and sends them to my sentry.io dashboard (can be disabled in settings).
- To help me support Buds models I don't own, this app includes a crowdsourcing feature to share data about Samsung's proprietary Bluetooth serial protocol on demand. You can disable this permanently by navigating to 'Settings > Developer options'.
Q: How to fix connection issues
A: If you experience issues while connecting or using the Galaxy Buds with this app, you can do the following:
- Unregister your earbuds in the app if not already done, like this:
Options > Unregister device - Proceed to the device selection page
- Disable the switch with the label 'Use alternative Bluetooth backend' (Windows only)
- Select your earbuds from the list and continue
