v1.0.0 Stable Release

v1.0.0 Stable Release - Moto Buds Desktop Utility

Welcome to the first official stable release (v1.0) of the Moto Buds Desktop Utility for Linux!

This release provides a beautiful, fully-functional desktop interface to configure and control your Motorola Moto Buds, completely reverse-engineering the proprietary Bluetooth protocol.

What's Included

• Pre-packaged Binaries: Standalone .AppImage (for Arch, Fedora, etc.) and .deb (for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian) are now available below.
• Full Feature Parity: Control Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Transparency mode, Game Mode, Volume Booster, Hi-Res Audio (LDAC), In-Ear Detection, and run the Earbud Fit Test.
• 10-Band Equalizer: Precision custom equalizer with exact floating-point control.
• Granular Battery Tracking: Real-time percentage readouts for both individual earbuds and the case.

⚠️ Important Connection Instructions

1. Connect to OS First: Please ensure your earbuds are natively connected to your OS via your Bluetooth manager BEFORE pressing the "Connect" button inside the app.
2. Troubleshooting: If you connect your earbuds after launching the app and experience slight connectivity issues, simply disconnect and reconnect the earbuds from your OS Bluetooth manager.

🐧 OS Compatibility

Currently, this application relies on the Linux BlueZ Bluetooth stack. It is 100% compatible with Linux.
Note: We are actively investigating a Windows port, but it requires a significantly different backend architecture and will take some time.
