OpenLogi

⚡️ A native, local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, written in Rust 🦀
Unlock the full capabilities of Logitech mice, keyboards, and webcams over HID++ and UVC

Fed up with Options+? Try OpenLogi.

Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Beyond Options+

Things OpenLogi does that Options+ won't:

• Stay light. Native Rust + GPUI.
• Run on Linux. Linux is a first-class platform in OpenLogi.
• Gestures on supported buttons. Assign gesture actions to supported controls — or turn gestures off entirely.
• Plain-text config. Everything is one TOML file you can sync between machines however you like.
• Script it. A real CLI alongside the GUI.

Features

• Devices connected over Logi Bolt receivers, Unifying receivers, Bluetooth, or a wired connection, with battery percentage and charge state
• Button remapping via the OS input hook: a built-in action catalog plus custom keyboard shortcuts authored in the TOML config, including independent short/long-press actions and hold-until-release chords for push-to-talk¹
• Per-application profile overlays that auto-switch on app focus (macOS + Windows; Linux on X11 / XWayland only)
• Litra lights: power, brightness, and color temperature, with optional auto power that follows camera activity

Mouse

• Capture and remap the middle, mode-shift, and thumbwheel buttons (middle everywhere, the rest where the device exposes them)
• Per-direction gesture bindings with live capture on supported buttons: Back/Forward, DPI/ModeShift, the dedicated gesture button, and the haptic panel
• DPI/ModeShift gestures require device-reported diversion and raw-XY support.
• Primary clicks and wheel controls cannot be newly assigned gestures; existing Middle Click gesture bindings are preserved.
• Actions Ring: a cursor-centred, eight-slot overlay of actions (ShowActionsRing), with per-application layouts
• DPI control with presets and Cycle / Set-preset actions (0x2201)
• SmartShift wheel: mode toggle, sensitivity, and a permanent-ratchet panel (0x2111)
• Per-device native scroll inversion (0x2121, supported devices)

Keyboard

• Global F-key remapping: the same action catalog as the mouse, plus power-user actions — typed text, key combos, multi-step workflows (macOS + Windows)
• Static RGB lighting (0x8070 / 0x8080, supported devices)

Camera

• Any Logitech UVC webcam (Brio, StreamCam, the C920 series, …), plug and play
• Live preview that opens the camera only while you watch — leaving it releases the camera entirely and the LED goes off
• Image controls written straight to the UVC hardware — zoom, focus, exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, white balance, tint, anti-flicker, and low-light compensation, with auto-mode toggles for focus / exposure / white balance — so changes apply in Meet / Zoom / OBS and every other app using the camera
• One-click profiles: built-in Default / Streaming / Video call plus custom snapshots; settings persist per camera and are written back to the hardware on the next view

¹ Media key actions use D-Bus MPRIS on Linux; a handful of macOS-specific actions have no universal Linux equivalent and are no-ops. Windows maps platform actions to native equivalents where available.

Install

[!IMPORTANT]

Quit Logi Options+ first: the two applications fight over HID++ access, and only one can own a given receiver at a time.

macOS

Requires macOS 13 or later.

Download the signed, notarized .dmg from the latest release and drag OpenLogi.app to /Applications.

Or install via Homebrew:

brew install --cask openlogi

The official Homebrew cask is the default installation path. To explicitly track the latest GitHub release from aprilnea/tap instead:

brew tap aprilnea/tap
brew install --cask aprilnea/tap/openlogi@latest

openlogi@latest is maintained by OpenLogi's release workflow and may update before the official cask autobump lands. Install either openlogi or openlogi@latest, not both.

Linux

Download the installer over HTTPS, inspect it, then run it. Do not pipe it into a shell:

curl --proto '=https' --proto-redir '=https' --tlsv1.2 \
  --fail --location --silent --show-error \
  --retry 3 --retry-connrefused \
  --output openlogi-install.sh \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi/master/packaging/linux/install.sh
less openlogi-install.sh
sh openlogi-install.sh
rm openlogi-install.sh

The script detects apt, dnf, yum, zypper, rpm, or pacman; selects the exact .deb, .rpm, or .pkg.tar.zst for the machine; authenticates its detached signature with OpenLogi's embedded minisign public key; and verifies its entry in the release SHA256SUMS before invoking the package manager with sudo. Install minisign through your distribution first. Run the script as your normal user, not with sudo. It installs the latest release by default. Use --version, --package-manager, --no-start, or --dry-run when needed.

Packages are published for both x86_64/amd64 and arm64/aarch64. Pre-built packages require GLIBC 2.35 or newer (Ubuntu 22.04 baseline).

NixOS users can instead import the repository's module, which installs the package and udev rules and starts the agent with the graphical session:

{
  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
  inputs.openlogi = {
    url = "github:AprilNEA/OpenLogi";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };
outputs = { nixpkgs, openlogi, ... }: {
    nixosConfigurations.my-host = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
      system = "x86_64-linux"; # or aarch64-linux
      modules = [
        openlogi.nixosModules.default
        { programs.openlogi.enable = true; }
      ];
    };
  };
}

All Linux packages install udev rules that grant your user access to /dev/hidraw*, /dev/uinput and your Logitech mouse's /dev/input/event* node without sudo. The installer and NixOS module start the agent automatically; after a manual package installation, enable it for your user:

systemctl --user enable --now openlogi-agent.service

See docs/INSTALL-linux.md for fixed-version installs, complete NixOS options, source installs, and distros without systemd.

Windows

Signed portable .zip archives and per-user .msi installers (x86_64 and arm64) are attached to each release. Both ship the GUI (OpenLogi.exe) together with the background agent (openlogi-agent.exe), which owns all device I/O. Keep the two files side by side when using the portable zip, or the GUI has nothing to connect to.

Windows support has been validated end-to-end on Windows 11 with real hardware (a wired keyboard and a Unifying-receiver mouse), including install, in-place upgrade, and uninstall of the MSI. It is newer than the macOS build, so if you hit a rough edge please report it. The agent shows a system-tray icon (Show Main Window / Quit) so the app stays reachable after the main window is closed. To disable it on Windows, set show_in_menu_bar = false in the TOML [app_settings] block and restart the agent; the GUI toggle is currently macOS-only.
