# 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
**Work in progress**
This project is currently in early development.
Features, commands may change as development progresses.
---
## 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)
```bash
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
