Description
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.

Great one touch screen brightness app. Set your own brightness buttons.

Does exactly what I want it to. Only way it could be even better is with custom quick toggles panel shortcuts.
★★★★☆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.
Good app. Does what it says. I do wish the app was higher visibility, so I could adjust it to a higher brightness when I've set it too low. I also wish this app offered timers or a way to automate brightness change

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.
★★☆☆☆Sean Suastegui· May 14, 2026
Not sure why but it is not working. The brightness percentages do not match my actual screen brightness. The top three percentage options are all 100% on my phone.
★☆☆☆☆MacGyver· Sep 10, 2026
It was MUCH better before the update. PLEASE change it back!! The percentages no longer correspond to my phone's slide bar. If you do not change it back, I will have to look for a different widget.
