Clever idea and very useful when you don't have cables and want to play your music from your mobile device on your laptop or desktop's speakers!

Very interesting. I connected my PC to my Macbook. However, the connection seemed to quickly drop. If this was stable, it would be very promising.

Hey Product Hunters, I am Aaron, founder of Pixel Egg Studio, today we are happy to launch a new Mac app called Julius, which turns your Mac into a Bluetooth speaker. AFAIK, Julius is the only Mac app which can make your Mac as a Bluetooth speaker, correct me if I am wrong. Julius can playback high quality audio streams from almost all Bluetooth devices, including Android Phone, iPhone, and other iOS devices. Please have check out Julius and leave your feedback here, I am around here for answering your questions. Feel free to ask me questions. :) Thanks for your interest and have a good day.

Don't rip off art. The icon is stolen from bit trip runner. That sucks

Pros:

Nothing. Not touching it if I don't trust a company. Stealing artwork says you can't trust a company with other things too.

Cons:

Don't rip off art. The icon is stolen from bit trip runner. That sucks

This could be a perfect solution to send audio from any bluetooth device to an Apple Homepod using the Mac as a middleman. But it doensn't seem to work :/

Thanks for developing this. I have a mac I use as a media server and several apps, such as audible and radio shows embedded on websites do not have the 'play on...' features embedded in apps like Spotify. Again, thank you.

One more example, may be a corner case but I use it, I have a PS4 I want to use with my computer screen, since HDMI audio output doesn't work in this case (my screen only accepts video input through HDMI) I can use a bluetooth dongle connected to my PS4 that sends the audio to this Julius app and I can play through my mac speakers, great!

Its a bit weird, for a moment I tought this was an awesome idea... But for example if I want to play something in spotify I can just... play it from my phone into the spotify app in my mac... and that can be done with other apps as well... maybe you could use the software in other macs (and maybe windows too) so you could play the same music in multiple computers... you could turn a study group into a party with sorround sound lol. but as it is right now, just using a mac as a bluethoot speaker is kinda lame, Im sorry but right now the people that gets interested might just lose interest as fast as they got it. Something awesome would be using a phone as a webcam or microphone... or maybe use the phone as a trackpad... Also I would change the icon, I have seen that before.

My Echo Dot doesn't recognize Julius as an available Bluetooth Device. It just keeps searching for devices.

Hi, I want to try out the free trial to see if this works, but whenever I open the app nothing happens. I own an iMac from late 2013, which runs on the latest OS software, and a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Cool idea(?), just wish the icon was original (It's an image of Runner from the BIT.TRIP games 🤔🤔🤔)

Doesn't work on Mojave.

Not work at all. bluetooth disconnect always
