Added full command implementations for battery limit/status, GPU management (cache operations, mode switching, NVIDIA handling), and a status reporter that prints GPU mode and battery details. Introduced module registration and placeholder power command. New Features - Battery command support (`limit`, `status`) - GPU command suite (`cache-delete`, `cache-query`, `reset`, `reset-sddm`, `integrated`, `hybrid`, `nvidia`) - Status command output showing GPU mode and battery information - Power command placeholder scaffold Enhancements - Unified command registration via `mod.rs` - Added root checks and file utilities for cache and config operations - Integrated logging infrastructure Bug Fixes: none
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

- 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
