About Brightness Control & Dimmer
Brightness Control & Dimmer gives you instant access to screen adjustment controls without digging through system settings. Tap a widget button or pull down your notification drawer to adjust brightness in seconds—customized exactly the way you want it.
Build your perfect interface with flexible layout options. Show only a slider, only quick-access buttons, or combine both. Hide elements you don't use and keep only what matters to you. Assign your favorite brightness levels to buttons for one-tap adjustment, and watch your current level display in real time on the widget and notification panel.
Dim your screen far darker than Android normally allows. The advanced dimmer uses a semi-transparent overlay to reduce brightness to sub-zero levels—down to -75%, -60%, or -50%—breaking through your device's standard minimum threshold. This night mode is invaluable in low-light rooms, protecting your eyes during evening use and eliminating screen glare in dark environments where standard brightness settings fall short.
Access your custom brightness controls from the lock screen or notification drawer without unlocking your device. Gaming, streaming, or working in bed—your brightness adjustment stays one swipe away, even when your phone is locked. Your preferred brightness levels sync automatically to quick buttons in your notification panel for seamless access.
Save significant battery life, especially on AMOLED displays where brightness directly impacts power consumption. Every percentage point you reduce extends your device's runtime. The lower your screen brightness, the longer your battery lasts.
Different Android devices handle brightness control in different ways. This app uses multiple adjustment techniques to ensure compatibility across the vast majority of Android phones and tablets, even where other solutions struggle. The app also stays out of your way during APK installation—it automatically disables itself and reactivates when you're done, requiring no manual intervention.
Compatible with Android 5 and newer. Lock screen controls work by default on newer versions; earlier builds can enable them through in-app setup instructions.
