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)
