Apple’s AirPods provide a basic listening experience when paired to non-Apple devices, but the free LibrePods app, developed by Kavish Devar, unlocks features like ear detection, head gestures, and customizations on Android and Linux devices, as spotted by Android Authority. LibrePods was created by reverse engineering the AirPods’ proprietary protocols, and it works by making the wireless headphones think they’re connected to an Apple device so they share device status info that’s typically only made accessible to Apple’s various operating systems. Other features LibrePods unlock includes conversational awareness that will lower the volume while you’re speaking, switching between noise control modes, accurate battery level info, customizations like accessibility settings and renaming your headphones, hearing aid mode, and multi-device connectivity. <img src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/librepods_android.jpg/query-Y3JvcD0wLDAsMTAwLDEwMCZxdWFsaXR5PTkwJnN0cmlwPWFsbA?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="3000" height="1624" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/librepods_android.jpg/query-Y3JvcD0wLDAsMTAwLDEwMCZxdWFsaXR5PTkwJnN0cmlwPWFsbA"/> Devar says LibrePods should work with all AirPods models and while you’ll get full functionality when using it with the AirPods Max and the most recent versions of the AirPods Pro, the AirPods Pro 3’s heart rate monitoring isn’t supported. However, getting LibrePods up and running on your Android phone isn’t as easy as just installing the app. Devar says that “due to a bug in the Android Bluetooth stack” LibrePods will currently only work on rooted Android phones that have the Xposed framework installed. If you have a OnePlus or Oppo device running ColorOS or OxygenOS 16 you can install and use LibrePods without rooting, but you won’t have access to some features like customizing the transparency mode until you do.</div>
