Auto Brightness+ puts a brightness slider for every monitor into Quick Settings, right next to the volume slider. External monitors are controlled over DDC/CI (ddcutil), laptop screens through the backlight. * One thin slider per monitor; hover to see its name * Automatic dimming per monitor: from sunset (or a set time) brightness goes down like the light outside and comes back in the morning; shape the evening on a small graph with the real sky behind it * A simple menu: pick a value, one slider sets it (or a detailed menu with a slider for everything) * Buttons that run by themselves at a time of the evening (e.g. turn the other screens off), undone in the morning * Per monitor Night Light and red screen strength (×0–×2), extra dimming * Lowest light with one click; turn a screen off, or all the other screens: clicks still reach the apps, the screen lights up smoothly while the mouse is on it * Claude Code is done (optional): a notification, and the turned off screen with its terminal lights up * Sunset from your location, the same way Night Light does it, without extra permissions * Fast: monitor writes are merged and never block the desktop * Available in 18 languages External monitors need ddcutil and access to /dev/i2c-* (i2c group). Without it, sliders fall back to software dimming. Made by Dukha.
