Cross-Platform Dell Power Manager re-implementation in Flutter. More screenshots in Wiki.

Dell machines (XPS and Precision series laptops, potentially others) offer advanced in-bios configurable options, such as multiple thermal profiles, battery charging thresholds, etc. It may be very desirable to adjust these on the go, and there is no way to configure it from OS without Dell's proprietary tools (which are luckily provided). Settings can be changed via:

• BIOS directly, requires reboot
• Dell Command | Configure CLI, available for both Windows and Linux, with impressive list of capabilities.
• Dell Power Manager GUI, available for Windows only. On top of that, it is ridiculously slow to start, and (subjectively) ugly.

This app is a modern, Flutter based GUI on top of Dell Command | Configure CLI, with main goal to replicate behavior of Dell Power Manager for Linux users, but also does run on Windows.

• Implement control via 'Dell Command | Configure CLI', installed separately or via integrated installer
• Integrated dependencies downloader and installer
• Modern animated UI, supports Dark Mode
• Short startup time, unline Dell's app
• Packaged to .deb (Linux) .msi (Windows), with start menu shortcuts etc.
• Integrated OTA via Github API
• Detects and handles unsupported modes on supported machines
• Detects non-dell machines, shows error message

Control features:

• Battery status overview (health etc.)
• Battery charging control (w/o advanced/daily timing mode for now)
• Thermal profiles control
• Detects OS's power mode

Planned TODOs:

• Advanced battery charging control/shceduling (Feature Request)

Potential future features to consider:

• Add monitoring service for auto switching thermal profiles based on CPU load
• Add monitoring service for auto switching thermal profiles based on power settings, eg. Battery level, plug/unplugged etc.

Application is currently in public beta stage.

• UI tested, build and packaging asserted by CI
• Dell's CCTK integrated, as well as automated installer
• Tested on multiple platforms, see Compatibility
• Packaged to .msi, .deb, .tar.xz. Get latest stable build at Releases, or latest development build at CI artifacts
• OTA integrated via Github API

• Run from source via flutter run, build via flutter build linux --release
• Package to .deb via ./package.sh

• Run from source via flutter run, build via flutter build windows --release
• Package to .msi via .\package.bat

By default, all logging is supressed. Export POWERMANAGER_DEBUG=true before running app from CLI to get logs. When opening an issue, kindly save and attach the log.
