I'm really curious why some features are tagged "Will not be implemented" for Linux, but "Planned" for Android.


The dev here- there are exactly 2 features- Head Gestures and heart rate monitoring. Both have no use on Linux. On Android head gestures is to answer calls and heart rate will be provided to Health Platform.

edit: there's just one that's not planned for Linux and planned for Andorid- HRM. Head gestures is already implemented on Android.


Is there a reason head gestures couldn't be mapped to functions in Linux? I see little reason why you couldn't have it used to play/pause or something. Heart rate monitoring less-so... but even that exposure could be useful for something if given the right API.


because android has users


Non-Android Linux does have users, but people don't use Airpods on their gaming PCs.


I do, on my Linux gaming build :) So this project is perfect for me
