Bose ANC menubar remote

Switch Bose headphone noise cancelling from the Mac menubar like AirPods Pro

Problem

A developer switches their Bose headphones between noise cancelling and transparency many times a day, but Bose offers no Mac menu option to configure ANC presets or adjust levels, unlike AirPods Pro. Users must open the phone app or press buttons, breaking workflow.

Solution

A macOS menubar utility that talks to Bose headphones over Bluetooth to control ANC level and transparency, with custom presets and one-click switching. Expand to Sony, Jabra, and others later.

Users

Developers, designers, and remote workers who wear Bose noise-cancelling headphones at a Mac all day

MVP

Menubar icon; one-click toggle between ANC/transparency/off; slider for ANC level; remember last setting; support mainstream Bose QC and NC models

Revenue

One-time purchase (e.g. $4.99) or subscription with more brand support; Pro version with scene automation

Why now

Remote work and noise-cancelling headphones make this micro-pain high-frequency; Bluetooth protocol reverse engineering is mature enough for an indie to ship one brand and expand
