## Description

**Brightness** is a simple, focused Android app for changing your screen brightness with one tap. Choose from customizable brightness presets or use Auto mode to adjust brightness based on your device’s ambient light sensor.

The app supports Automatic, Linear, and Perceptual brightness scales, plus custom calibration to help match presets with your phone’s Quick Settings brightness slider. This can be especially useful on devices where brightness levels appear too dim or behave differently, including some Samsung models.

Press and hold any brightness button to customize its value. Brightness requires only permission to modify system settings, includes no ads, and requests no unnecessary permissions.

## Review summary

Users praise Brightness for presets and precise, easy control, plus a quick auto-brightness toggle. Many find it useful across multiple devices. However, a common drawback is that it cannot exceed the system brightness, making it seem redundant for some. Ads in updates are mentioned as intrusive, and a subset questions the app’s added value over stock brightness. A frequent feature request is true multi-device syncing from a single device.

### Pros

- Quick access to pre-configured brightness levels (presets) with precise numeric control
- Simple, accurate, and easy-to-use brightness controls
- Ability to toggle auto-brightness on/off easily
- Useful across multiple devices / appreciated by users with several Android devices

### Cons

- Cannot increase brightness beyond the system's maximum; limited functionality
- Ads and prompts can be intrusive in updates
- Some reviewers feel the app adds little value beyond built-in brightness / appears redundant with stock controls
