Underburn

The only app that sets brightness based on screen contents, not on ambient light

A trial version is available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.out386.underburn.trial

Ever had someone send you a white image at night, or had to open a browser, while using a dark theme? No need to fumble for that brightness control any more, Underburn will reduce the brightness for you!

Unlike other brightness apps, Underburn dynamically sets your screen brightness based on what's showing on your screen, not the ambient light level. This relieves stress when opening light images/apps when using a dark theme at night, without making the brightness so low that the dark theme is invisible. Once you're back on a dark screen, the brightness will go back up.

Response times are low, so even if you're scrolling a dark page, and a light image scrolls into view (think dark messengers), Underburn has you covered. What's more, you don't even need to be rooted!

Performance impact:

Almost none. Barely noticeable CPU usage, and negligible battery usage. Underburn is very optimized.

No data is ever collected, stored on your device, transmitted, or abused in any way. Underburn doesn't even have any analytics (beyond Google's statistics), or the permissions needed to access the Internet.
