Hi Product Hunt, I’m Cosmo, the maker of BrightPilot. I notice small annoyances and sometimes build software for them. With BrightPilot, I want adjusting screen brightness to take less of your attention—and for the software to remember there is a person in front of the screen. BrightPilot adjusts brightness throughout the day and learns from repeated manual changes. If it feels too bright or too dim, move the slider as usual. Your adjustment takes priority. You can control compatible displays separately, and you don’t need a light sensor to get started. Care reminders offer a moment to step away, stretch, or get some water. Kids mode adds more playful reminders, while presentation protection can pause automatic brightness changes when you need your screens to stay steady. There’s also experimental support for Windows light sensors and compatible unencrypted BTHome Bluetooth illuminance sensors. Hardware support varies, so I’d particularly appreciate feedback on your actual setup. The Windows app has a 15-day full-feature trial, with no account or credit card required. The personal license is currently US$3.99 for the first 20 customers, before applicable taxes. It covers one person on up to three computers and includes 12 months of updates. Versions released during that period remain usable permanently, with no automatic renewal. What gets in your way more: changing brightness throughout the day, keeping multiple screens comfortable, or finding a good moment to take a break? I’d love to hear what you would improve.
