Some of the best software I use solves a problem that is already “solved” in other ways.

I had a minor inconvenience in my desk setup that could be mostly solved by using existing tools. The ability to turn off/on my Logitech Litra Glow light with a click of a button.

Yes, I could lean slightly forward in my chair to reach over my monitor and press the physical button. Yes I could download the bloated Logitech Options software and click thru a menu to do it. Yes I could pop open a terminal and use the awesome open source CLI to do it, or even auto-toggle the light if I had my camera on or not.

But that’s not exactly what I wanted. I wanted an always-available button in my menu bar that I could tap to flip on the light.

So I built LitraSwitch to do just that. Toggle your Logitech Litra lights with the click of a button.

It allows you to toggle all of your Logitech Litra devices on/off with a button in your menu bar. Customize color temperature and brightness in preferences. More features may come - if I ever need them.
