Warning
OpenLogi is under active development and not yet stable — features and config may still change. Give the repo a Star ⭐ and Watch 👀 it to get notified when a new release lands.
⚡️ A native, local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, written in Rust 🦀
Remap buttons, DPI, and SmartShift over HID++. No account, no telemetry.
Options+ ? Try OpenLogi.
Remap buttons, drive DPI and SmartShift, and switch profiles per app — without a Logitech account, telemetry, or the official Options+ install. No cloud, plain TOML config. By default, device-image fetches are the only automatic network calls; update checks and downloads run only when you request or opt into them.
OpenLogi talks to Logitech HID++ peripherals over Logi Bolt and Unifying receivers, Bluetooth-direct connections, or USB cables — without running Logi Options+. It consists of three components:
- OpenLogi GUI — a GPUI desktop app: an interactive mouse diagram with clickable hotspots, a per-button action picker (built-in actions plus custom keyboard shortcuts authored in the TOML config), DPI presets, SmartShift, per-device scroll inversion, RGB keyboard lighting, per-application profiles, a live device carousel, and a Settings window localized into 20 languages.
- OpenLogi agent — the background service that owns the input hook and all device I/O. The GUI is a pure IPC client and starts the agent when needed.
- OpenLogi CLI — a CLI for headless inventory (
list) plus asset-sync and on-device diagnostic subcommands.
Everything stays local: bindings live in a plain TOML file, the agent remaps button presses through the OS input hook, and writes DPI, SmartShift, scroll, and lighting changes straight to the device over HID++.
macOS, Linux, and Windows are supported. Windows is the newest port: it has been validated end-to-end on Windows 11 hardware, but may still have more rough edges than the macOS and Linux builds; see Roadmap.
Things OpenLogi does that Options+ won't:
- Run on Linux. Options+ ships for macOS and Windows only. OpenLogi treats
Linux as a first-class platform: evdev/uinput hook, udev rules, a systemd
user unit, and
.deb/.rpm/.pkg.tar.zstpackages. - Move the Gesture Button. Pick which physical button owns the gesture role — the dedicated Gesture Button, middle, back, or forward — with per-direction swipe bindings, or turn gestures off entirely. Options+ pins the gesture role to the dedicated Gesture Button.
- Keep config in plain text. Everything is one TOML file you can read, diff, version-control, and copy between machines.
- Script it. A real CLI: device inventory, asset prefetch, and on-device HID++ diagnostics (feature/control dumps, DPI / SmartShift round-trips, and keyboard lighting checks).
- Stay light. Native Rust + GPUI binaries — no Electron suite, no resident updaters, no account, no telemetry.

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.
Important
Quit Logi Options+ first — the two applications fight over HID++ access and only one can own a given receiver at a time.
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 openlogiThe 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@latestopenlogi@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.
Download the package for your distribution from the latest release:
# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i openlogi_*.deb
# Fedora / RHEL
sudo rpm -i openlogi-*.rpm
# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -U openlogi-*.pkg.tar.zstPackages are published for both x86_64/amd64 and arm64/aarch64.
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.serviceSee docs/INSTALL-linux.md for manual / source installs and distros without systemd.
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 works and 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.
