StarTooth 1.0.0-rc.1

First release candidate of StarTooth — a Windows tray tool that lists your paired Bluetooth
devices and connects or disconnects them with a click, with starred favourites, full keyboard and
screen-reader support, English/German, and light/dark mode.

⚠️ Release candidate

The connect path (BluetoothSetServiceState) is not yet verified on real hardware. Listing
devices, the menu, favourites, settings, localisation and theming are all tested; actually
connecting is implemented but unproven. This becomes 1.0.0 once it has been confirmed on a device.

Downloads

• StarTooth-Setup-1.0.0-rc.1.exe — installer with a Start Menu entry, optional desktop icon
  and clean uninstall.
• StarTooth-1.0.0-rc.1-portable.exe — single portable exe, just run it.

Both are self-contained (no .NET runtime needed) and require 64-bit Windows 10 build 19041 or
newer. They are Authenticode-signed with a personal development certificate, so SmartScreen may
warn on machines that do not trust it — choose "More info → Run anyway".

Highlights

• Tray menu of all paired devices (Classic and BLE), connect/disconnect on click.
• Starred favourites sort to the top; state indicators (● ○ ◌ ★) with spoken equivalents.
• Accessible favourites dialog, Windows notifications for connection attempts.
• Settings for language, colour mode and autostart.
• English and German, using the terminology of the Windows interface.
