This project rewrites the swiftly-lights project to bring cross-platform compatibility using Python and JAX.
swiftly-lights was a project to bring Ambilight on Apple computers using a strip of LED lights. The goal was to record the screen with ScreenCaptureKit, and use Metal to calculate the average colour across several zones throughout the screen.
The goal of jax-ambilight is to rewrite the project using Python and JAX to achieve maximum performance while still maintaining cross-platform compatibility.
jax currently has a Metal plugin to run on Apple Silicon and has experimental support for AMD GPUs. Primary development will be done on Nvidia GPUs.
Project currently uses the mss library to capture the screen and then uses jax to calculate the average colour in each of those zones. The idea would be to allow the end-user to choose how many zones they would want.
Desktop app writtin using Tauri and Svelte that communicates to the backend over Unix sockets. Will work on an alternative IPC on Windows.
