An independent, open-source Android app to control Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 — fully offline: no Google Play services needed, no INTERNET permission, no location permission, no account.
Features: noise control (Noise cancellation, Adaptive, Transparency, Off) and a Quick Settings tile · equalizer with presets and Volume EQ · battery Left/Right (with charging) and the Case · Find My Buds (ring Left / Right) · touch controls, press and hold per bud and its noise-control modes · head gestures, Multipoint, case sounds · balance, mono audio, conversation detection, in-ear detection · dark mode.
New in 1.1.1: nothing you will see — built with current Android build tools and libraries; your settings stay after the update.
Known issues in 1.1.1: the app says what a switch sets, not what you will hear; the screen-reader text for "—" is checked by the unit tests, not yet on a phone.
Not included: ringing the Case or both buds, firmware updates, choosing the devices of a multipoint connection, anything that needs a Google account.
Requirements: Android 14 (API 34) or newer. Tested on a Pixel 9a with GrapheneOS (Android 17) and Buds firmware release_5.203 only. On any other firmware the app opens in read-only Safe Mode and sends no setting changes.
Install: download opencontrol-pixelbudspro2-1.1.1.apk below, allow "Install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager, and open the file. Updates: install a newer APK from the Releases page over the old one — it is signed with the same key, so your settings stay. The app never checks for updates itself.
