Unofficial community builds of the Work Louder Input app for Linux, distributed as AppImages.
This repository is used to publish Linux releases of Input. The app itself is closed source — no source code is hosted here. It is a community build, maintained on a best-effort basis with no support promised.
This project is an unofficial community-developed port of the Input application, intended for use on Linux systems.
While this project has been acknowledged and welcomed by Work Louder Inc., it is not officially supported or maintained by them. As such, functionality and stability are not guaranteed.

Input is intended to be installed and managed with Gear Lever. Input does not create it's own desktop file if the appimage is run independently.
You may need FUSE for the AppImage to run:
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install libfuse2You can also run Input standalone:
Download the latest .AppImage from the Releases Page.
Make it executable and run it:
chmod +x Input-*.AppImage
./Input-*.AppImageInput should automatically prompt you to set up the udev rules needed to access your Work Louder device on first launch. If your device isn't detected, unplug and replug it after launching the app once.
No official support is provided — not by Work Louder, and none is promised by the maintainer.

Issues opened on this repository may be addressed on a best-effort basis, but there is no guarantee of a response or fix.
Earlier versions of this repository provided a script (input4linux-*.sh) that downloaded the official Windows installer and patched it to run on Linux. That approach is deprecated and no longer maintained — use the AppImages from the Releases page instead.
This project does not claim ownership of Input. Input is a product of Work Louder Inc. This port is provided under an unofficial and permissive approach intended to help Linux users make use of their devices. Refer to the individual license files, if applicable.
