If nothing happens when connecting the headphones, please check the Bluetooth device name. It's better if it matches the factory name (or a suitable model from the list above). Some models can be automatically detected by serial number, but not all.

How to Contribute

1. Fork the repository.
2. Implement a new feature, fix a bug, or make any changes you'd like. You can use AI agents or any tools you prefer to help with coding, but please review and test your code manually before submitting.
3. Create a pull request describing what you've done and why it should be merged into the app. I'll review the changes, which may take some time. I may also ask you to make some modifications. In rare cases, I might decline the pull request with an explanation.
4. After merging, once enough changes have accumulated for a release, I'll build an update and make it available to all users.
5. Thank you for your contribution — you're awesome!

Note

If you want to modify the headphone interaction functionality, you should make those changes in the swift-nothing-ear package.

If you can't code but have ideas on how to improve the app, please create an issue and describe your idea, bug report, or any other needed change. I'll do my best to implement the necessary functionality in my spare time.
