OpenLogi: A Privacy-Focused Local Alternative to Logitech
Manage your Logitech devices without accounts or telemetry.
1Local Alternative to Logitech
OpenLogi is a native application written in Rust, serving as an alternative to Logitech Options+. It allows users to manage Logitech mice and keyboards without creating accounts or sending telemetry. Released under MIT/Apache-2.0 license, the app has no official connection with Logitech.
2Button Remapping Feature
The application enables remapping of all mouse buttons with 44 different actions. Users can define custom shortcuts, application launchers, and scripted actions. All settings are stored in a local TOML file and written directly to the device via HID++ protocol.
3DPI and SmartShift Control
OpenLogi provides comprehensive options for managing mouse DPI settings and creating custom presets. The SmartShift feature allows switching between ratchet and free-spin modes for the scroll wheel. All settings are written directly to the mouse sensor.
4Multi-Platform Support
macOS users can install via Homebrew or direct .dmg download. Linux offers .deb, .rpm, and Arch packages, while Windows provides signed .msi installers. Installation takes less than a minute across all platforms.
5Device Compatibility
OpenLogi works with Logi Bolt, Unifying, and Lightspeed receivers, Bluetooth connections, and USB cables. The app features a real-time device status interface showing battery levels. Users can manage all connected devices from one place.
6Application Profiles
Upcoming application profiles will allow creating custom settings for different apps with automatic switching. This feature will enable mouse settings to change automatically based on the active application.
7Privacy-Focused Design
OpenLogi collects no user data and sends nothing to the cloud. All settings are stored locally, and features like update checks are completely optional. Communication between the interface and device occurs directly via HID++ protocol.
8Freedom for Logitech Users
OpenLogi offers Logitech hardware users complete control without the limitations of official software. Its open-source and transparent nature makes it an ideal solution for privacy-conscious technical users. The application's development remains actively ongoing.
