Nin's Tool for Oculus Link

Meta lays off 15000 employees while their software gets shittier. Nin's tool will set you free.

⚠️I'm no longer actively keeping an eye on Nin's Tool. If something breaks, PLEASE email me so I can fix it! nin@nin.wtf

Nin's Tool lets you simply and easily tweak your Oculus Link settings (and keep them that way forever!) No more fiddling with debug tool every session.

Nin's Tool will save your settings and automatically apply them each session. (if you enable auto launch)

The program has options for:

• Encoding bitrate
• Encode codec
• Asynchronous Spacewarp (🤢)
• Local Dimming (Quest Pro Only)
• Sliced encoding (Fix white bar issue)
• Quickly restarting Oculus services
• Turning Guardian on/off
• Link Sharpening
• Battery Indicator
• One-click install for Oculus Killer
• and more

Features:

• Intuitive
• Doesn't require administrator privileges
• Retains your settings
• Uses little system resources
• Dark mode 🥵
• Rexouium-coded
• Connects over WiFi or Wire

AirLink Users:
Nin's Tool uses android debug bridge (ADB) to control features on quest, however establishing this connection wirelessly can be tricky, but it's not necessary to use Nin's Tool- it's just that ASW, Brightness, and Guardian settings will be disabled.
To make sure Nin's Tool can properly connect to your headset, follow these steps:
- make sure the Oculus desktop app recognizes your quest wirelessly.
- Enable USB connection dialogue in quest settings > system > developer
- Plug the quest into your computer using USB, and click "Allow" in the headset
- Unplug USB
- Refresh the connection by clicking the battery indicator button in Nin's Tool.

There's nothing I can do to streamline this process, it's just the way ADB works. So, I can only recommend a link cable for using link.

Hey, you made it this far, you can use code RIZZ for 50% off

If you can't afford the full version of Nin's Tool, please email me: nin@nin.wtf or disc: ninka_

Remember, Nin's Tool will completely override your Oculus Link settings, so if you need to change something with debug tool, close nins tool and disable auto start.
