Framework Control is a lightweight control surface for Framework laptops, exposing a minimal local HTTP API and a modern web UI to monitor telemetry and tweak core platform settings. Developed by Kemal Ozturk (GitHub: ozturkkl), it provides fan control (auto/manual/curve), power management, charging controls, and LED Matrix support for Framework Laptop 13 and 16 models.
Framework Deck is an open-source, all-in-one desktop companion application for Framework laptops, developed by community member ToySnail (GitHub: enkode). It evolved from the earlier Input Architect project — a keyboard and macropad configurator — into a unified tool that combines keyboard customization with real-time hardware telemetry, fan control, power management, battery health monitoring, and LED matrix editing.
A widget-based LED Matrix program for the Framework 16 by Boyney (DedFishy), featuring a web dashboard GUI and system-tray background operation.
Framework16 LED Matrix Manager is an open-source GUI application for controlling the LED Matrix Input Module on the Framework Laptop 16, developed by community member Fabian Fuchs (GitHub: FabulousCodingFox). Written in C++ with a Qt interface, it provides a native desktop tool for drawing, configuring presets, and managing the 9x34 LED display panels without requiring a web browser or command-line usage.
FW16 Pong Wars is a Rust-based game for the Framework Laptop 16 LED Matrix Input Modules, inspired by the original Pong Wars by Koen van Gilst. Developed by community member boobcactus, it runs a competitive ball-bouncing game directly on the 9x34 LED matrix panels, supporting both single-module (9x34) and dual-module (18x34) display modes.
fw16-led-matrixd is an open-source, cross-platform daemon and CLI for controlling the Framework Laptop 16 LED Matrix Input Modules, developed by community member Sabrina Andersen (GitHub: NukingDragons). Written in Rust, it fully implements Framework's LED Matrix serial API and provides both a background daemon (fw16-led-matrixd) and a command-line client (ledcli) for scripting and automation.
fw16-ledvu is an audio visualizer for the Framework Laptop 16 LED Matrix modules that displays a real-time VU/equalizer driven from PipeWire audio via CAVA (Console Audio Visualizer). Developed by community member Jack Burch (GitHub: JackMBurch), it runs as a lightweight systemd user service on Linux and writes directly to the LED Matrix modules over persistent serial connections for low-latency updates.
LED Matrix Monitoring (ledmatrixmonitoring) is a system metrics visualization service for the Framework Laptop 16 LED Matrix Input Module, developed by community member Igor (GitHub: night-crawler). Written in Rust, it collects system metrics — CPU usage, memory, disk I/O, network, temperature, and battery — renders them as PNG images, and sends them to the companion LED Matrix Daemon for display on the 9x34 LED matrix.
LED Matrix Vocab (also titled "LED Matrix Word Randomizer") is a web-based Japanese vocabulary study tool for the Framework Laptop 16 LED Matrix modules, developed by community member Jacob Padgett (GitHub: jpadgett314). It periodically displays a random Japanese word on the LED Matrix modules, turning idle screen real estate into a passive language-learning aid. The app is available as a live demo and can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for offline desktop use.
