HARE
What you see
It finds what's there.
Devices are grouped the way they're built — motherboard, memory, cooling, peripherals, lighting, audio. Thirty devices read as easily as three.
If nothing is detected, HARE says so and says what to try next. It never lists devices that aren't there.
What it does
Install
One file.
It contains HARE, OpenRGB, the Visual C++ runtime and the PawnIO driver. Administrator rights are asked for once, during install. HARE itself never asks again.

How it works
HARE drives OpenRGB.
OpenRGB already speaks the native protocol for well over a thousand products. It ships inside HARE and runs headlessly, which is why no vendor software has to be installed.
HARE
Electron. React interface and the effects engine.
OpenRGB
Headless and bundled. Native vendor protocols and USB HID.
Addressable headers
Why RGB software
looks broken.
A motherboard can't count the LEDs on a strip you plug into an ARGB header. Those zones report zero LEDs, accept every colour, and light nothing. The app looks like it's working. Your fans stay dark.
HARE asks. Any board with a resizable header gets an Addressable Headers panel, pre-filled with 8. It remembers what you set.
