OpenTabletDriver
Open source, cross-platform, user-mode tablet driver
OpenTabletDriver is an open-source, cross-platform, user mode tablet driver. The goal of OpenTabletDriver is to be cross-platform as possible with the highest compatibility in an easily configurable graphical user interface. OpenTabletDriver functions as two separate processes that interact with each other seamlessly. The active program that does all of the tablet data handling is OpenTabletDriver.Daemon. The daemon must be started in order for anything to work, however, the GUI is unnecessary. If you have existing settings, they should apply when the daemon starts. The requirements to build OpenTabletDriver are consistent across all platforms. Running OpenTabletDriver on each platform requires different dependencies. Run build.ps1 to produce binary builds to 'bin' folder. These builds will run in portable mode by default. -

AlienFX Tools
Alienware systems lights, fans, and power control tools and apps
AlienFX Tools is a suite of utilities aimed at controlling lighting, fan, and power behaviors on Alienware systems, directly interfacing with USB or ACPI hardware rather than relying on official drivers. This project supports a broad range of effects and modes, allowing users to customize RGB lighting zones, create and switch profiles based on system states (like power source or running applications), and generate lighting behaviors tied to thermal and performance events. Because it operates at a low level, alienfx-tools can offer faster update rates and more flexible configurations compared to some manufacturer software. It includes both command-line and graphical frontend elements to support different user preferences, making it suitable for automation as well as interactive use. Enthusiasts use it to tailor lighting aesthetics and system responsiveness, especially on systems where official Alienware control panels are unavailable or problematic. -

Macs Fan Control
Control fans on Apple computers
Macs Fan Control is an open-source repository supporting the development of Macs Fan Control, a powerful macOS utility that gives users granular control over the thermal behavior of Apple computers. While the GitHub repo primarily tracks issues, feature requests, and localization files for the application, the utility itself allows real-time monitoring and control of fan speeds based on temperature sensors, helping users balance cooling performance and acoustics. It supports a wide range of Macs, including recent Apple Silicon models with M3/M4 chips, and can adjust fans to respond to specific temperature sources, not just default system profiles. Users commonly employ this tool to keep systems cooler under heavy workloads or to reduce fan noise in quiet environments. Macs Fan Control bridges gaps left by the default macOS thermal management, especially for users running demanding software or older machines with less efficient heat dissipation. -

FanCtrl
FanCtrl allows you to automatically control the fan speed
FanCtrl is a Windows desktop utility focused on automatically controlling PC fan speeds using temperature sensors and customizable fan curves, so your cooling behavior matches how you actually use your system. It combines monitoring and control in one place, letting you view temperatures, fan RPM, and control percentages while you tune how aggressively each fan responds. The project supports a range of control backends and integrations, including motherboard fan headers and several popular cooling ecosystems, and it can also pull sensor data from common monitoring tools so your fan logic can react to the readings you trust. A core concept is “auto fan control” profiles where you pick a target temperature sensor, select which fans should follow it, and then shape the curve via a graph-like interface. It also includes quality-of-life options like renaming items, choosing units (including Fahrenheit), and starting minimized for a set-it-and-forget-it setup. -
