openlogi 0.6.8

OpenLogi command-line interface β€” a local-first companion for Logitech HID++ peripherals.
openlogi-0.6.8 is not a library.

[!WARNING] OpenLogi is under active development and not yet stable β€” features and config may still change. Give the repo a Star ⭐ and Watch πŸ‘€ it to get notified the moment a release lands.

Options+ ? Try OpenLogi.

Remap buttons, drive DPI and SmartShift, and switch profiles per app β€” without a Logitech account, telemetry, or the official Options+ install. No cloud, plain TOML config; the only network calls are device-image fetches and an opt-in, off-by-default update check.


What it is

OpenLogi talks to Logitech HID++ mice over a Logi Bolt receiver β€” or a Bluetooth-direct / wired connection β€” without running Logi Options+. It ships two binaries:

  • OpenLogi GUI β€” a GPUI desktop app: an interactive mouse diagram with clickable hotspots, a per-button action picker (39 built-in actions plus recorded custom shortcuts), DPI presets, a SmartShift panel (wheel mode, sensitivity, permanent ratchet), per-application profile overlays, a device carousel that switches between paired devices live, and a Settings window with a UI localized into 20 languages.
  • OpenLogi CLI β€” a CLI for headless inventory (list) plus asset-sync and on-device diagnostic subcommands.

Everything is local: bindings live in a plain TOML file, button presses are remapped through the OS event tap, and DPI / SmartShift changes are written straight to the device over HID++.

macOS and Linux are supported. Windows support is planned β€” see Roadmap.

Roadmap

Unifying receivers (older protocol, replaced by Bolt) βœ…
Bluetooth-direct / wired devices (no receiver) βœ…
Battery percentage / charge state βœ… (online devices)
Interactive GUI: carousel, mouse diagram, action picker βœ… macOS + Linux
Button remapping via the OS event tap / evdev hook βœ… macOS + Linux
39-action catalog + recorded custom keyboard shortcuts βœ… macOS + LinuxΒΉ
DPI control + presets + Cycle / Set-preset actions (HID++ 0x2201) βœ…
SmartShift wheel: mode toggle + sensitivity + permanent-ratchet panel (HID++ 0x2111) βœ…
Per-application profile overlays (auto-switch on app focus) βœ… macOS, 🟑 Linux (X11 only)
Settings window: launch-at-login, update check, menu-bar, permissions, language βœ… macOS + Linux
Interface localization (20 languages: da, de, el, en, es, fi, fr, it, ja, ko, nb, nl, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ru, sv, zh-CN, zh-HK, zh-TW) βœ…
Linux packaging: udev rules, systemd unit, .deb / .rpm βœ… Linux
Gesture-button per-direction bindings 🟑 configurable; hardware capture pending
Middle / mode-shift / thumbwheel button capture 🟑 configurable; hook owns side buttons only
Windows event hook ❌

ΒΉ Media key actions use D-Bus MPRIS on Linux; a handful of macOS-specific actions (e.g. Launchpad) have no Linux equivalent and are no-ops.

Install

[!IMPORTANT] Quit Logi Options+ first β€” the two applications fight over HID++ access and only one can own a given receiver at a time.

macOS

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 .deb or .rpm from the latest release:

# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i openlogi_*.deb

# Fedora / RHEL
sudo rpm -i openlogi-*.rpm

The package installs udev rules that grant your user access to /dev/hidraw* and /dev/uinput without sudo. After installation, enable the background agent for your user:

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

See docs/INSTALL-linux.md for manual / source installs and distros without systemd.
