Quiet Rebellion

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.
