The first second vanishes
You press play and the opening of the track is clipped, because the Bluetooth speaker is still waking up.
Use your Bluetooth speaker as your everyday PC audio. Speaker Keeper stops it switching itself off, so it's ready whenever you are. Nothing to set up.
One click opens the panel
Almost every Bluetooth speaker powers itself off when no sound comes in, on purpose, to save battery. Great for a Bluetooth speaker in a bag. Annoying for the one on your desk.
You press play and the opening of the track is clipped, because the Bluetooth speaker is still waking up.
Sometimes it's gone far enough to sleep that you have to reconnect it by hand before anything comes out.
It drops off your sound settings entirely until you walk over and press its power button again.
Same Bluetooth speaker, same connection, none of the waiting. You stop thinking about it entirely, which is the whole idea.
One small file, and about ten seconds. It starts with Windows from then on.
No account, no settings to tune, nothing asking for your attention. It sits in the tray and gets on with it.
Music, videos, calls, notifications. Sound plays straight away instead of starting halfway through.
Set it up once. It looks after itself from there.
Set it up for each Bluetooth speaker you own. It remembers them, so you can move between the one on your desk and the one in the kitchen without touching a thing.
See which Bluetooth speaker you're using, how much battery it has left, and turn it off for that Bluetooth speaker. It warns you when the battery gets low.
It only works on Bluetooth speakers. Your earbuds and headphones still switch themselves off when you put them away.
No licence, no subscription, nothing to buy later. Switch on automatic updates and new versions arrive overnight.
Set it up once and it's already running before you sit down. There's nothing to launch and nothing to remember.
One small app that matches your Windows theme. No account, no sign-up, and nothing about you ever leaves your PC.
Install Speaker Keeper and leave it running. It holds a silent audio stream open on the Bluetooth speaker you choose, so it never sees the silence that makes it power down and Windows keeps the connection up.
Nothing is audible and nothing changes on your PC. It sits in the tray, uses almost nothing, and there is no setting to get right.
Leave your Bluetooth speaker plugged in. Speaker Keeper is built for the Bluetooth speaker that lives on your desk, and one sitting on its charger is simply always ready, which is the setup it's happiest in.
Away from a charger it works just as well, and keeps an eye on the battery for you: it stays awake rather than asleep, so it uses power the way it does while you're listening, and it tells you in good time when it's worth plugging in.
A macOS version is on our roadmap. First we're launching Speaker Keeper on the Microsoft Store, and a Mac build comes after that.
It leaves them alone on purpose. Earbuds should power off when you put them away, so Speaker Keeper only ever works on Bluetooth speakers.
Yes, whatever the make. The only part that varies is the battery reading, which depends on whether your Bluetooth speaker shares it with Windows. Many do, some don't, and everything else works either way.
Turn on Install updates automatically in Settings. Windows asks permission once, and after that new versions arrive overnight without you doing anything.
It's off unless you turn it on, and until you do, Speaker Keeper never goes online at all.
Nothing leaves your PC. There's no account, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. The one time it goes online is to check for an update, and only if you asked it to.
Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Speaker Keeper → Uninstall, just like any other program.
Download, double-click, done. It starts with Windows and stays out of the way.
Windows 10 or 11 · A Bluetooth speaker · No .NET or runtime to install
Windows will show a blue “Windows protected your PC” warning. That's SmartScreen. It appears for any app that hasn't paid for a code-signing certificate, which this one hasn't. Click More info → Run anyway, or build it yourself in about ten seconds.
