SnapBack is a Nintendo Switch sysmodule that automatically reconnects your Bluetooth headphones (AirPods, Beats, and other Bluetooth audio devices) when you turn on your Switch, removing the need to manually pair the device every time. It requires a Nintendo Switch running Atmosphere CFW and a Bluetooth audio device already paired to the Switch.
Features
- Automatically reconnects paired Bluetooth audio devices on boot
- Resumes polling after disconnect — if headphones go out of range, they reconnect when back
- Screen-aware — pauses polling when the screen is off, reconnects immediately on wake
- Companion config app to select your device and configure settings
- Lightweight background sysmodule with no performance impact
Installation
- Download the latest release
- Copy the contents to the root of your SD card — the folder structure is ready to drag and drop
- Reboot your Switch
The sysmodule starts automatically on boot via boot2.flag.
Configuration
Open the SnapBack app from the Homebrew Menu to configure:
- Device — select which paired Bluetooth device to reconnect
- Polling interval — how often to check for reconnection (default 12s)
Settings are saved to sdmc:/switch/snapback/config.ini and applied immediately without rebooting.
The configuration file can also be edited manually:
# Bluetooth address of the device to reconnect filter_address = AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF # Device name (for reference only) device_name = My AirPods # How often to check for reconnection in seconds polling_interval = 12 # Delay on boot before first attempt (seconds) boot_delay = 18 # Max reconnect attempts (0 = unlimited) max_retries = 0
Log
The sysmodule writes a log to sdmc:/switch/snapback/log.txt, which is useful for troubleshooting.
