AutoKeyLight 0.1.0

First release of AutoKeyLight, which turns your Elgato lights on and off when your webcam turns on and off.

A cross-platform Rust and Tauri rewrite of AutoKeyLight by Gabriel Garcia (@astutejoe).

Highlights

• Windows and macOS (Apple silicon)
• Finds your Elgato lights on the network automatically, no IP addresses to enter
• Lights switch only when the camera turns on or off, so lights you switch yourself stay that way
• Track or untrack each light, optional delays before turning lights on or off, start at login
• Lives in the tray (menu bar on macOS) and does nothing in the background until the camera changes
• Works on Windows 11 26200 and newer, which no longer record camera usage where the original app looked for it

Install

Windows: download AutoKeyLight_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe and run it, no administrator rights needed. The installer isn't code signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unknown publisher, choose More info → Run anyway. Allow AutoKeyLight on private networks when Windows Firewall asks. Uninstall from Settings → Apps.

macOS (Apple silicon): download AutoKeyLight_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg, open it and drag AutoKeyLight into Applications. The app isn't signed by an Apple developer account, so macOS blocks it the first time: open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Click Allow when it asks to find devices on your local network.

Known limitations

• No Linux camera detection yet
• No Intel Mac build yet
