BeatBridge

Auto-play music when your Bluetooth device connects.
BeatBridge automatically resumes music playback the moment your chosen Bluetooth device connects — your car speakers, headphones, or any paired device.

HOW IT WORKS

Select one paired Bluetooth device from the list. BeatBridge starts a lightweight foreground service that listens for that device to connect. When it does, BeatBridge sends a standard media play event to Android, resuming whatever you were last listening to in Spotify, YouTube Music, Pocket Casts, or any other media app.

FEATURES

• One-tap setup — pick your device and you're done
• Works with any media player that responds to Android media key events
• Persistent — keeps watching even after the app is closed
• No polling — wakes only on Bluetooth connection events, so battery impact is minimal
• Fully offline — no internet access, no accounts, no tracking

PERMISSIONS

• Bluetooth — to read your list of paired devices and detect when one connects
• Foreground Service — to keep the monitor running in the background
• Notifications — to display the persistent "Watching for…" status notification (Android 13+)

No location access. No storage access. No network access.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
