Features

● This app allows you to control brightness a lot faster and easier than the default Android system brightness settings allow.

● A convenient widget with customizable brightness controls: you can assign your custom brightness levels to the quick buttons and then adjust brightness in one click.

● You can configure the appearance of the brightness controls: you can show or hide UI elements as you like. Hide unnecessary brightness buttons if you need only a slider, or hide the slider and use only buttons, or use both of them.

● Dimmer / screen filter / night mode: you can reduce brightness to a lower value than the default settings allow (sub zero brightness levels, e.g. -50%, -60% etc.). The semi-transparent layer is drawn over your screen to reduce brightness below zero. It will protect your eyes in a dark environment.

● This app saves your battery if you have an AMOLED display. The amount of power the display consumes varies significantly depending on the colour and brightness shown. For details please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMOLED#Comparison_to_other_technologies

● Brightness controls in the notification will allow you to quickly control brightness from anywhere (even from games), just open the notification drawer. You can set your custom brightness levels for the quick buttons in the notification too.

● Your can control brightness even on the lock screen (supported in android 4.2 and above). For Android 5 devices the notification brightness controls should be available on your lock screen by default. You can find instructions inside the app that explain how to enable it on pre Android 5 devices.

● Action bar icon and home screen widget display your current brightness level.

● Far more convenient brightness controls than Android default brightness settings.

● This app will NOT block manual installation of apps (apk files). You can install any apk files that your want and this app will not cause your any problems. There are lots of dimmer (screen filter) apps in the app store that won’t allow you to install apk files because they have conflicts with the security system of Android. They all must be manually disabled to allow you to install apps from apk files and manually reenabled after the installation. This is not convenient! This app automatically disables itself when it detects that you are going to install an apk file and enables itself back after the installation is complete.

● Lots of brightness control apps and widgets in the app store simply don’t adjust brightness because they are incompatible with some devices. This app uses multiple techniques to adjust brightness simultaneously and will work on the majority of the devices.

● Try it out for free!

Note: It is not recommended to use multiple brightness control apps at the same time, because in this case brightness widget and brightness icon can show incorrect information.

Ratings and reviews

S25 Ultra. This had potential. But every time I rebooted my phone, this app set my brightness back to Auto. I can't stand that; when I set something, I need it to STAY that way. When I uninstalled, the brightness again persisted through reboots. Also, like so many similar apps can do, the color of the % text, the background color, and the overall widget color all need to be adjustable. (The text size, too.) It's pretty hard to read.

Brightness Control & Dimmer is hands down the best brightness control app I’ve found. The options and controls are super easy to use, and I really appreciate being able to turn the brightness well below zero...perfect for those times when you need it extra dim. My only issue is that it sometimes randomly quits from my notifications, which can be a bit annoying. Still, it’s a great app overall!

After the recent One UI 4 update this app disabled access to all apps. Literally froze my phone. It took several days to determine this app was the cause. 5 hours on the phone with Sprint techs could not determine the issue. They finally had me do a factory reset. Grrrr. That did not fix it. Uninstalling this app fixed the issue! Darn, it was a great little app.
