Before you switch

Utilities should be boring in the best way: install, configure once, forget. Before switching, confirm the tool supports your operating system and check whether it needs background services or special permissions. Open-source utilities are often lighter than their commercial counterparts, so you may notice your machine feeling snappier.

Like every project on OpenShelf, OpenRGB is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
