QuickShade for Android

I don't know what thought process led to my 2020 Android's screen brightness jumping from 'dim-ish' to 'pitch black' at the lower end of the built-in brightness slider, but it is unfortunately unelegant. Perhaps the same process came up with the keyboard backlight dimmer, which also jumps from 'too bright for use in a dark room' to 'off'. Well, this app fixes the screen brightness issue, allowing me to use my Android at night while my partner sleeps undisturbed. This occurs during travel, especially, and while she wears an eye-mask and swears she sees no light from my screen, I have long felt awful when this situation arises. No more - QuickShade 100% fixed the situation. I'm writing this review in gratitude to the developeer, Katsuma Tanaka, as I did not see a way to send money. Thank you, Katsuma! If anyone reading this can code - I believe there is a unmet demand for a QuickShade-like app for the keyboard backlight. I would purchase it immediately as I have been unable to find anything that addresses the issue.

My cheesy 75" TV has very little brigtness controls and I turned on Night Lite on Android Mini M1 and this helped a little bit. QuckShade Thank You so much this is great. I knew there had to be others out there like me, frying our eyes out. Being free = Try it out.

Thank you! This adjusts the brighness on BOTH displays with quick access in the toolbar. Siimple and effective. -- I just setup (2) 27" thunderbolt displays on a Android Pro 2013 w/ Monterey. The brignness in System Preferences | Displays is cumbersome to get to, and the brightness control in the applet or keyboard only adjust the current display. This does both quicly and easily.

I use a Android mini and a logitech keyboard for Android. There are brightness /- keys on the keyboard, but they don't change the brightness of my display. (I'm pretty sure Android minis don't do this natively.) I was able to add these buttons as shortcuts to run QuickShade's Brightness up/down controls via QuickShade's preferences menu. It works extremely well. Very handy! NOTE: I had to turn off the Android keyboard shortcut before this would work. The Android keyboard shortcut can be found in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Display > uncheck "Decrease display brightness" and "Increase display brightness." Also, the on screen brightness GUI display isn't utilized by this app. Which is okay, but worth mentioning. Also, the mouse's cursor doesn't dim with the rest of the screen. Some may find this annoying. I however, like that it makes it easier to find the cursor on a crowded screen.

The best screen dimmer app I've found for Android. As simple as can be and does exactly what I need on all of my Android devices — that is, dims beyond the lowest native brightness (works well with nightshift too). Thank you!
