BlueLink is a daemon that listens cell phone events over bluetooth and executes tasks based on those events.

BlueLink is a daemon that listens mobile phone events over bluetooth and executes tasks based on those events. For example, when your phone rings, BlueLink might silence your mp3-player and display notification bubble on your desktop.
