## Description

BKlightCtl is an Android app that empowers you to finely control your screen's backlight brightness beyond standard OS limits. Key features include setting custom maximum and minimum brightness levels, saving up to three brightness presets for quick switching via device shake, and adjusting key backlight on models with hard keys. This tool ensures better power efficiency since it adjusts LED backlight directly without filters that typically dim screen capture quality.

Designed for advanced users seeking precise and convenient brightness management, BKlightCtl enhances usability and conserves battery life without compromising screen visibility.

## Review summary

BKlightCtl is praised for its innovative shake-to-adjust brightness feature and effectiveness in controlling screen backlight, helping with visibility and battery saving. It works better than many alternatives and respects user privacy by not needing internet access. However, multiple users face compatibility issues on certain devices and Android versions, and the app requires foreground permission to function properly. Some users desire better default configurations, improved sensitivity controls, and more customization to reduce unwanted brightness changes and enhance the overall experience.

### Cons

- Some users report compatibility issues, such as not working on certain devices or Android versions (e.g., Sony Xperia with Android 10).
- Requires foreground running permission on Android 9+ and may close unexpectedly despite disabling battery optimization.
- Some users find brightness changes too frequent or unnecessary and request better default settings and sensitivity adjustments.
