In plain words

AirBuddy extends AirPods functionality to Mac computers, mirroring the seamless experience available on iOS devices. When users open their AirPods case near a Mac, AirBuddy displays battery status and connection information in the menu bar, similar to iPhone and iPad behavior. The software is designed for Mac users who own AirPods and want consistent device connectivity without manual checking.
