Could you build this?
Partial The UI wrapper is standard, but communicating with Apple AirPods features (ANC, transparency mode, battery levels) on Windows requires reverse-engineering Apple's proprietary Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocols.
What it would actually take: Built using C#/.NET or C++ interfacing with Windows.Devices.Bluetooth APIs alongside a system tray UI (WPF/WinUI). The difficult part is implementing Apple's proprietary BLE beaconing and vendor-specific GATT/L2CAP protocols to read ear detection, battery case status, and trigger noise cancellation states. Once the protocol packets are understood or borrowed from open-source references, the implementation is manageable, but protocol reverse-engineering remains non-trivial.
