Bluetooth sleep timer features
A timer that handles the connection, too.
Playback-only timers pause audio. Bluetooth Sleep Timer also lets you disconnect selected devices, test their compatibility and choose both actions together.

The baseline is a playback-only timer, with no Bluetooth device control. Other sleep timer apps vary. Full Access marks optional paid features. Device actions depend on Android and accessory compatibility.
When a playback timer is enough
If you only need your audiobook, music or podcast to stop, the timer built into your player—or a compatible playback timer—may be enough. Check that it works reliably with your media app.
When the Bluetooth connection matters
Selected-device control lets you decide which Bluetooth accessories disconnect when the timer ends. Test compatibility in the app, choose pause, disconnection or both, and check the result. Accessory power-off behavior still depends on the hardware.
Try your setup before bedtime
Run a short timer while awake. Confirm the media response, chosen-device disconnection and completion result before relying on a nightly routine.
