OpenLogi.net - an Options+ replacement for Windows. Open source, no cloud, no background bloat

I've been building openlogi.net , an app for controlling Logitech mice and keyboards on Windows — and it's at a point where I'd love for people to try it.

It talks to your devices directly over HID++ (Bolt/Unifying receiver, Bluetooth, or wired), so everything stays on your machine: no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry.

The porting story: this began as a port of the excellent Rust project AprilNEA/OpenLogi. The original leads on macOS and Linux - Windows is an early, untested preview there. I'm on Windows, so rather than bolt Windows support onto a Rust/GPUI codebase, I rewrote it in C# / .NET + Avalonia.

Because the whole thing is built around Windows first, it's grown more capable on Windows than the original's Windows preview — fuller device support, RGB lighting (per-key colors and effects), onboard and per-app profiles, multi-host switching, and a proper installer. It's an independent project, but huge credit to the upstream OpenLogi for the foundation and the reverse-engineering work.

What it does:

- Discovers your devices + shows battery level

- Button remapping

- DPI control + presets

- SmartShift (wheel ratchet) tuning

- RGB lighting — colors, effects, brightness

Why you might like it:

- Small + self-contained — ~16 MB installer (or a portable zip), and you don't need .NET installed

- No account, no telemetry, fully open source (MIT)

- Installer and a no-install portable build on the releases page

⬇️ Download / source: https://github.com/loxsmoke/openlogi-net

I've tested it on the hardware I own, and since Logitech's lineup is huge, I'd genuinely love to hear how it runs on your device — open an issue with your model and what worked. One quick tip: close Options+ first, since both apps want to talk to the device at the same time.

Not affiliated with Logitech. Feedback, ideas, and PRs all very welcome — hope it's useful!

I built a small SaaS for CI version numbers. Would love feedback

Tried to post this on r/sideproject but that subreddit is hopeless. Anyway, since this project has a .NET backend, I figured I could post here.

I’ve been working on a side project called version.win

It gives your build/CI scripts a simple HTTP endpoint for version numbers.

It supports sequential, semantic, and calendar-based versions, keeps version history, and has a small dashboard for projects/API keys.

I’m trying to figure out if this is useful beyond my own projects.

Would love feedback:

  • Would you use an external service for build versioning?
  • What would make this trustworthy enough for CI?
  • Any versioning workflows I’m missing?
