About this app

This application switches on or off the display's auto brightness setting. It saves the last manually set brightness level in order to return to that level when auto brightness is disabled.

This app is not a widget, so it won't show you the current setting visually, it won't take up extra memory, and it won't bog down your home screen.

Please email the developer with bugs or feedback. Auto Brightness Switch is open source and released under the GPL license. Patches and translations are welcome.

I found this app in my search to get around my phone's inability to set a minimum brightness threshold. Whenever I'm indoors or driving at night, the auto brightness goes down to 0% which is way too dark. That's where this app comes in handy. If I set my brightness for 25% and then click the "auto brightness switch" app, then the auto brightness functions like normal making the screen plenty bright when out doors. I hit the switch again at night and it goes back to 25%

A simple and effective way of turning auto brightness on and off without the time-consuming scroll through system settings. Add it to your app Favourites Tray and it's just one click to change (2 if you have an app or browser open) instead of 5 swipes/clicks. It's unbelievable this isn't a standard OS feature, at least not in Android 10, it should at least be a selectable shortcut on the slide-down system tray. I would give 5* if app showed at a glance whether auto brightness was on or off.

Who would have thought that a third party app would be needed to replace a feature stripped from Android OS? It does what it says it does, what with toggling auto adjust.
