Android: We all know that screen brightness has a huge effect on your phone's battery life, but Android's built in auto-brightness setting isn't always accurate, and doesn't offer anything in the way of customization. Velis Auto Brightness on the other hand oozes customizability, and gives you more control than you could ever need over your screen's brightness.


The app's main screen basically consists of a curved graph and two handles. Dragging the handles changes how bright your screen should be based at different levels of ambient light. If you want to save on battery life for example, you could make sure that your screen never jumps to 100% brightness, even in direct sunlight.


Digging deeper, you can create custom profiles for different situations. So for a typical day where you could plug in your phone at your desk, you might allow the screen to be brighter than when you're out on a camping trip. There are literally dozens of other minor settings to dig through if you really want to get technical, but for nothing more than the customizable profiles, this app is a no-brainer for all Android owners.
