I guess I''m pretty sensitive to the brightness of my screen, and I''ve never been satisfied with the automatic brightness feature on either my laptop or my Android phone. It''s usually too bright at night and not bright enough during the day, and it can vary unpredictably as I move my hands around (probably because I''m covering the light sensor). My laptop has a keyboard button for changing brightness, which works great and I use it many times a day. My Android phone, though, doesn''t have a dedicated brightness button, so changing screen brightness is a multi-step effort that takes much longer than it should. So that''s why I invented Brightness Rocker.
