icon Quiet Rebellion gives you full control over your Bose QC Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) directly over Bluetooth — without the Bose app, without a cloud account, and without sending any data off your device.

It implements the BMAP protocol (Bose Messaging and Protocol), the same protocol the official app uses, accessed through the unauthenticated SETGET and START operators. No keys are extracted, no encryption is broken, no traffic is replayed.

WhatsNew:

✨ New
- Self Voice Persistence toggle: control whether sidetone behavior persists across context changes (experimental).

🔧 Improvements
- Audio Source switch buttons stay tappable at all times; unavailable devices are dimmed instead of disabled, so the brief routing window isn't missed.
- Faster detection of when Audio Source switching becomes available again after a Multipoint or source-switch action.
- Added a tap-cooldown to prevent duplicate Audio Source switch commands from rapid taps.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
