  "account": "OpenLogi is a local-first alternative to Logitech Options+, developed using the Rust programming language. It enables users to remap buttons, adjust DPI, and control SmartShift through the HID++ protocol, without the need for an account or any telemetry. The core interface of the app features a mouse diagram with clickable hotspots and an action picker, allowing users to assign built-in actions to specific button hotspots. Over 44 built-in actions are available for each physical button, supporting per-device customization. Users can also set pointer resolution, cycle their own presets, and directly manipulate the sensor over HID++. Additional features include per-application overlays that activate in sync with the focused application, and a carousel display of paired devices with their respective battery percentage and charge state. OpenLogi supports connection via Logi Bolt, Unifying or Lightspeed receivers, Bluetooth pairing, or a USB cable, and can operate without a receiver altogether. In later releases, the app will include per-application overlays that adapt to the user's active application. The software ships with signed builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows platforms. To set up OpenLogi, users can refer to the step-by-step instructions provided in the documentation. It is essential to quit competing software, such as Logi Options+ or Solaar, before launching OpenLogi, as both applications compete for HID++ access and can only occupy a receiver at one time. If users require further assistance, they can seek help in the Telegram community or open an issue on GitHub.",
