Shortcuts App Bug: Bluetooth Action Errantly Opening BTT UI

Describe the bug

When running BetterTouchTool's "Manage Bluetooth State & Connected Devices" action in macOS's Shortcuts app, the action is opening BTT's main user interface window (i.e., instead of just running the action in the background). This problem is new to the last week or two, though I'm not entirely sure which BTT update that it initially stared occurring on.

Luckily, the action is still connecting to the appropriate bluetooth device. As a result, the bug isn't really that big of a deal. It just means the user has to close BTT's UI after the shortcut runs.


Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

Shortcuts App on macOS


Device information:

  • Type of Mac: MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Pro
  • macOS version: 26.5
  • BetterTouchTool version: 6.521

Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):

While my report above is specific to the "Manage Bluetooth State & Connected Devices" action, when troubleshooting I noticed that several other BTT actions in the Shortcuts app were also causing BTT's user interface to open. As a result, the bug is probably a little more widespread.
