ScreenChaser

ScreenChaser is a Rust-based bias lighting daemon for Linux that uses the Wayland XDG Desktop Portal to capture screen content, processes colors with GPU-accelerated wgpu compute shaders, and streams the output to WLED devices via UDP. It includes a webview frontend for LED configuration, device scanning, and live previews, all within a lightweight native binary.

sei

Manages environment variables securely by storing them in GNOME Keyring instead of plaintext .env files. Provides a TUI for editing and a CLI for injecting secrets into applications.

input-remapper-rs

A Rust-based tool for remapping input device events at the kernel level using evdev and uinput. Supports multi-device mapping, terminal-based configuration, and integration with systemd on Linux systems.

input-remapper-rs Remap input device events on kernel level (evdev/uinput). Works on Wayland and X11. Rust rewrite of , focusing on performance and simplicity. Compatible with existing input-remapper preset files. Features - Key-to-key and key-to-combination remapping (e.g. mouse button -> Ctrl+C) -

About

Background and stats

Maximilian Reinke develops tools and applications with a focus on Linux systems, image processing, and secure environment management. His projects include 'blechblender,' a browser-based utility for anonymizing license plates in photos, and 'desktop-drac,' a Linux-specific adaptation of GitHub Desktop tailored for a custom distribution. Other notable works include 'input-remapper-rs,' a kernel-level input remapping tool, and 'sei,' which securely manages environment variables using GNOME Keyring. Additionally, he has created 'ScreenChaser,' a bias lighting daemon for Linux that integrates GPU-accelerated color processing and WLED device control.

Maximilian employs a technical approach centered on efficiency and system-level integration. His projects leverage programming languages such as Rust, TypeScript, and JavaScript, along with technologies like Docker, evdev, uinput, and GPU-accelerated compute shaders via wgpu. He utilizes terminal-based interfaces, lightweight native binaries, and systemd integration to ensure seamless operation within Linux environments. His work often emphasizes local processing and security, avoiding external dependencies and prioritizing user privacy.
