Nanoleaf Desktop App
With the Nanoleaf Desktop App, you can control your Blocks from a web browser on your computer. Create and download new Scenes right from your computer, or try the Screen Mirror feature.

Voice Control
You can control your Nanoleaf Blocks by voice in a few different ways if you connect it to a smart home ecosystem and Matter compatible hub.
