Auto-play music when your Bluetooth device connects.
About this app
BeatBridge automatically resumes music playback the moment your chosen Bluetooth device connects — your car speakers, headphones, or any paired device.
HOW IT WORKS
Select one paired Bluetooth device from the list. BeatBridge starts a lightweight foreground service that listens for that device to connect. When it does, BeatBridge sends a standard media play event to Android, resuming whatever you were last listening to in Spotify, YouTube Music, Pocket Casts, or any other media app.
FEATURES
• One-tap setup — pick your device and you're done • Works with any media player that responds to Android media key events • Persistent — keeps watching even after the app is closed • No polling — wakes only on Bluetooth connection events, so battery impact is minimal • Fully offline — no internet access, no accounts, no tracking
PERMISSIONS
• Bluetooth — to read your list of paired devices and detect when one connects • Foreground Service — to keep the monitor running in the background • Notifications — to display the persistent "Watching for…" status notification (Android 13+)
No location access. No storage access. No network access.

How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.beatbridge is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 1.0.34 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall BeatBridge first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of BeatBridge, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
