+#Bluetility
+
+Bluetility is a general-purpose Bluetooth Low-Energy utility for Mac OS X.  It scans for advertising peripherals, provides a interface to browse a connected peripheral's services and characteristics, and allows characteristic values to be read, written, and subscribed.

+* Browse services and characteristics of connected peripheral
+* Subscribe to characteristic notifications

+##Motivation
+Bluetility is inspired by [LightBlue](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lightblue/id639944780?mt=12), a free bluetooth utility published by [Punch Through Design](https://punchthrough.com/).  Bluetility was created to resolved issues in this tool, and add missing features:

+* Support copy/paste via Cmd+C and Cmd+V
+* Sort peripherals by received signal strength
+* View advertising data
+
+Bluetility is published as open-source so that anyone can tweak or improve its functionality to meet their own needs.
