BeatBridge
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.
