Description by Alexey Rogulin (from Google Play)

Change your screen brightness with one tap. Choose a preset level, or use Auto mode if your device has a light sensor.

Brightness too dim or not matching your phone’s slider?
On some devices, including some Samsung models, try the Linear brightness scale:
1. Open Brightness and tap the gear icon to open Settings.
2. Tap “Brightness scale”.
3. Select “Linear (compatibility override)” and tap “OK”.
4. Try the brightness buttons again.

Adapt Brightness to your device
The Brightness scale setting offers Automatic, Linear, and Perceptual (gamma-style) options. Custom calibration is also available when needed to help match your presets to your device’s Quick Settings brightness slider. The scale setting is separate from Auto mode, which adjusts brightness to ambient light.

Customize your presets
Press and hold any brightness button to change its value.

Simple and focused
The app requires only one permission: to modify system settings. No ads and no other permissions. Brightness does one thing: it changes your screen brightness.

Recent changes:
• Refreshed design for modern Android.
• Updated for Android 16.
• Brightness presets now align with the system brightness slider.
• Improved reliability and compatibility.

Comments on Brightness for Android

★★★★☆ Mike Phillips (Seething Sage) · Sep 10, 2026

Latest 9/7/2026 update screwed up all of my settings. My custom percentages are gone, and what's there now isn't accurate at all. If I manage to fix it, I'll update my review again. If not, it deserves one star. -- Edit: I had to change away from the automatic/default Android Brightness scale to linear scale and then set up all of my percentages again. What an annoying update. But it seems okay now.

★★★★★ Brambilla Fumagalli · Jul 17, 2026

Does exactly what I want it to. Only way it could be even better is with custom quick toggles panel shortcuts.

★★★★★ Anthony Chew · Sep 13, 2026

Alexy, thank you so much for updating the app to be able to use the gamma scale for brightness! It's a real game changer - now we are able to calibrate and control the brightness at the lower levels. Appreciate it so much. Just a thought, is it possible to consider adding another 3 slots to the presets? Or, allowing the use of a slider to set the brightness level directly (as using the perceptual scale) without the presets? Perhaps through a widget?

★★☆☆☆ BIG DAVID · Sep 6, 2026

For whatever reason, since the last update it seems that the presets that I have used over the years is somewhat off, and quite a bit dimmer than before.

★☆☆☆☆ Ramona Lazenby · Sep 9, 2026

Last update ruined it. It does not hold the percentage I tell it to. If I set to 25% it might look correct at first until you unlock your phone again, then it looks like 0-10%. And when I look at the app, it is still set to 25% and auto is off. FIX IT.

★☆☆☆☆ Anthony Rose · Jun 16, 2026

No it doesn't lock in the brightness adjustment If you don't want your phone slider to shut off the brightness it should override whatever the phone is doing or set to do and take over to keep the brightness on no matter what it failed to do that.
