BlueVein is a Bluetooth device synchronisation service for dual-boot systems.
It synchronises Bluetooth pairing keys between Linux and Windows, avoiding the need to pair the same devices again when switching operating systems. Pairing information is exchanged through the EFI partition and changes are monitored automatically.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Synchronise Bluetooth pairing keys between Linux and Windows.
- Bidirectional synchronisation between operating systems.
- Automatically detects newly paired devices.
- Stores shared pairing information on the EFI partition.
- Direct EFI partition access without mounting another operating system’s filesystem.
- Periodically checks for pairing changes from another operating system.
- Supports Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy devices.
- Handles LTK, IRK and CSRK key types.
- Automatically merges keys for devices supporting Classic and Low Energy modes.
- Runs as a background service on Linux and Windows.
