About this app

The Brite Toggle Widget allows for easy switching between three preset display brightness levels.
With the widget on the home screen you can easily select a consistent screen brightness setting based on the surrounding lighting to make for more comfortable viewing.

Tapping the widget cycles through each display brightness level. You can easily customize the desired display brightness levels. Customize the screen brightness for day, night, and outdoor use.
Using preset display brightness levels may reduce battery usage and yield more aesthetic and consistent results than most adaptive brightness settings.

The maximum brightness range can be configured to accommodate the handling of screen brightness among different devices.

Android "WRITE_SETTINGS" permissions are required in order to change the display brightness.

Ratings and reviews

My phone does not have a light sensor, so a simple 3-way light switch is all I need for night, day and in sun. A simple and elegant design to accomplish a needed feature - in especially if you run out of the house for a semi-emergency and can't find the brightness up button because the screen was dimmed for night time!! Now I can just place the widget right above the center of the main page and I know where it'll be.

Easily the best replacement for the old Widgetsoid brightness toggle. I'd been nursing Widgetsoid along after the Creator lost his source code. For more than 10 years it served up custom little toggle widgets, 2 in each screen grid position, all lightning fast to turn something on or off. Upgraded to Android 15 phone and it refused to install Widgetsoid. This is a decent start for replacement. I wish a 4th option was available in the cycle: Auto. That would make this widget perfect.

Simple to use, and quickly adjust brightness to 3 user set setting, this should have been a default widget. So cool I can tap on the widget and quickly move to the 3 user set setting. I put it on my home screen because in andriod basic setting I have to do 3 thing like tap,swipe,slide,before I can get to the brightness slider , so when it's too sunny outside I want a quicker way to set screen to brighter. Wish andriod engineer added a too sunny outside feature so I can see the screen.
