Dygmate is a system-tray application developed by Daniel Nilsson, currently available at version 1.0.0, with two published versions in total. Its purpose is to display the battery status of Dygma wireless keyboards, specifically supporting the Defy, Raise 2, and Sonsei models. The software addresses the common inconvenience of not knowing how much charge remains in a wireless keyboard by surfacing that information directly on the desktop, helping users anticipate when a recharge is needed before the keyboard stops working. The application is distributed as two portable commands, meaning no installation step is required to use them. The first command, dygmate, provides a command-line interface battery readout, which is useful for quick checks from a terminal, for scripting, or for integration into custom status bars and monitoring setups. The second command, dygmate-tray, launches the system-tray application itself, which presents the keyboard's battery level continuously in the system tray for at-a-glance monitoring during everyday work. In addition to passively showing the current battery level, dygmate includes low-battery notifications, alerting the user when the keyboard's charge drops to a point where action is needed. This combination of a persistent tray indicator and proactive warnings makes it suitable both for users who want constant visibility of battery status and for those who simply want to be warned before the keyboard runs out of power. Dygmate falls into the system utilities category, specifically the areas of hardware monitoring and peripheral device status tools. It is aimed at owners of Dygma wireless keyboards across the Defy, Raise 2, and Sonsei product lines who use desktop environments with a system tray. Because the two commands are portable, they can be run directly without modifying system configuration, making the tool straightforward to deploy on any supported setup.
