An Interesting Bluetooth App for Linux Just Appeared!
|
||||
======
|
||||
All things Bluetooth with this brand new app!
|
||||
A new app for Linux has shown up that could be a one-stop app for all your Bluetooth needs.
|
||||
|
||||
Called ' **Overskride** ', it is **an open-source app** making an appearance with its first release. Even though it is in a work-in-progress state, it offers some decent functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow me to take you through it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Overskride: What to Expect?
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Overskride will appeal to the Rust-heads out there, as it is **primarily written in the Rust programming language** with **a GTK4/libadwaita flavor** to it.
|
||||
|
||||
According to the developer, it is meant to be **a straightforward Bluetooth and Obex client** _(planned for future)_ that works irrespective of the desktop environment or window manager being used.
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Some key features include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Trust/Block devices.**
|
||||
* **Ability to send/receive files.**
|
||||
* **Set connection timeout periods.**
|
||||
* **Support for configuring the adapter.**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Looking at the screenshot above, you have got about every essential option to customize the Bluetooth device, and the connection, including the adapter name.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, considering this is the first release of the app ever, one should not set high expectations. So, there would be room for improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, here's **a little sneak peek of Overskride** to check what it offers.
|
||||
|
||||
I set it up using the provided Flatpak package on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with GNOME 42.9. It didn't seem to have any issues with running on this setup.
|
||||
|
||||
Overskride was able to detect my smartphone, with various options to configure it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can add the device to the trusted list or block list, rename it, and send a file as well.
|
||||
|
||||
I gave the **file transfer feature** a try, but before I could do that, I had to allow access to user files using [Flatseal][4] so that it could read the files on my system.
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
The transfer began after I accepted the file transfer on my phone. The speeds were okay, and the file did get there in one piece, without any issues.
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
I must say, for its first-ever release, the developer has presented us with a useful utility. I am excited to see what kind of improvements its future releases will offer.
|
||||
|
||||
The developer [was asked][7] by a Reddit user if there are any plans to **support for showing the battery percentage of wireless headphones.** In response to that, the dev mentioned that it is tricky to do so, as every device follows a different specification, which makes such a goal harder to achieve.
|
||||

||||

### 📥 Get Overskride
|
||||
|
||||
For now, Overskride is only available via its [GitHub repo][9] as a Flatpak package. Or, you can compile it from source.
|
||||
|
||||
[Overskride (GitHub)][10]
|
||||
|
||||
I hope the developer publishes it on [Flathub][11] once it gets to a stable release to make it accessible for users.
