See your screen in bright sunshine. High brightness mode for your phone

Features & Capabilities

High Brightness Mode is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your phone's screen visibility under bright sunlight. It activates an extra high brightness mode (HBM) available on many AMOLED devices like Samsung, Motorola, and OnePlus phones. This extension boosts screen brightness beyond normal limits, making it effortless to use your device outdoors.

Even if your phone lacks built-in HBM hardware, it forces maximum screen brightness, improving visibility in harsh light. For rooted devices, especially OnePlus and Pixel models, HBM can push brightness to its highest potential. Users can activate HBM via auto mode, widgets, quick settings tiles, or manually, with customization options for ambient light thresholds. Additionally, it supports Tasker integration for automation.

Compatible with most Samsung Galaxy and Motorola phones, Nexus, Pixel, and OnePlus devices (root may be required on some). Keep your screen bright and readable anytime with High Brightness Mode!

User Reviews

The High Brightness Mode app is praised for significantly improving screen brightness on compatible, often Samsung and rooted devices, making it easier to use phones outdoors. Users appreciate its simplicity and effectiveness for enhancing visibility in sunlight. However, many report issues such as the inability to disable persistent notifications without losing functionality, the app not working as expected on various devices, bugs in toggling modes, and poor developer responsiveness. Some users found it does not enable true high brightness mode but only adjusts standard brightness, leading to mixed experiences depending on device compatibility.

Pros

Effectively increases screen brightness beyond stock maximum on compatible devices, enhancing outdoor visibility.
Works well on various Samsung devices and some Google Pixel models, especially when rooted.
Simple and easy to use with basic app design and quick toggles.
Improves usability outdoors by increasing screen brightness under direct sunlight.
Useful for users who have trouble seeing their screen in bright environments or have device brightness limitations.

Cons

App requires notification to function, cannot disable notification without affecting functionality, which annoys users.
Does not work properly or noticeably increase brightness on some devices, especially non-rooted or unsupported models.
Some users experienced bugs such as app refusing to turn off high brightness mode or auto mode malfunctioning.
Lack of developer support in terms of customer service and response to user inquiries.
For some devices, app only controls standard brightness settings rather than enabling true high brightness mode, leading to user disappointment.

I thought this would increase my brightness limit. It didn't. Also you should add an accessibility shortcut button

Please please add option to disable notification. We don't want to see which mode hbm is set to. And maybe material you theme? Even after disabling notification, app asks to enable them or it won't work.
