Partooth is a simple application to do bluetooth paring. With the aid of the awesome bluez 5 it can scan your surroundings for bluetooth devices, and pair your laptop with them.
Once you grow weary of a device, Partooth can unpair it for you.
-
Is a contraction of the danish words 'parre bluetooth' which means 'pairing bluetooth'.
-
Sounds a bit like the french word 'partout' which .. err .. is probably not significant.
Partooth will not offer functionality to actually use your shiny new bluetooth connection. That is left to other applications.
Ie. you
- use your audio system (like pulseaudio or whatever) to direct sound to/from a headset
- use your network management (like connman) to use your smartphone for tethering over bluetooth.
- use your file manager to browse and access files on your bluetooth device.
etc.
