TLDR

LibrePods is a project that unlocks Apple's exclusive AirPods features on non-Apple devices, offering functionalities like noise control modes, adaptive transparency, and hearing aid customization. It supports AirPods Pro (2nd and 3rd Gen) and provides basic features for other models. The Linux version operates as a system tray app, enabling features such as battery monitoring and automatic ear detection. The app allows for device renaming, customization of long-press actions, and multi-device connectivity. To fully utilize these features, users must enable 'act as Apple Device' in the app settings and may need to use root access for certain functionalities.
