New Features - Add per‑CPU power limit commands using Intel RAPL (PL1/PL2) and AMD hwmon constraints - Expose current TDP limits in status output, distinguishing RAPL, AMD hwmon, or hardware‑managed - Gracefully handle absence of required sysfs entries Enhancements - Extend the power command set with a `LimitTdp` sub‑command - Add debug logging for limit application attempts Bug Fixes - Ensure the command degrades gracefully when hardware does not support dynamic power caps
lapctl
lapctl is an upcoming command-line utility written in Rust for managing laptop hardware features on Linux.
It aims to provide a simple and unified interface for controlling hybrid GPU modes, battery charging limits, and other laptop power features directly from the terminal.
Planned Features
-
Switch GPU modes on hybrid graphics laptops
- Integrated GPU
- Hybrid mode
- NVIDIA GPU
-
Set and manage battery charging limits
-
View laptop hardware and power status
-
Lightweight and fast CLI interface
-
Designed for Linux systems with hybrid GPUs (Optimus)
Project Status
Stable
This project has reached its first stable milestone with all planned features implemented.
Goals
- Provide a simple CLI interface for laptop hardware management
- Support hybrid GPU laptops (Intel + NVIDIA / AMD + NVIDIA)
- Offer battery health features like charge limit control
- Be lightweight, fast, and easy to use
Example CLI (Planned)
lapctl gpu integrated
lapctl gpu hybrid
lapctl gpu nvidia
lapctl battery limit 80
lapctl battery status
lapctl status
Built With
- Rust
- Modern Linux system interfaces
