Adjust brightness across multiple displays in Windows 11 or 10

If you have multiple monitors connected to your computer, you can easily manage the brightness per monitor via the Twinkle Tray app.

Twinkle Tray offers you a range of options and features to suit your preferences, all completely free. The program integrates seamlessly with Windows 10 and Windows 11 and works with most laptops and DDC/CI-supporting monitors.

You can set hotkeys to adjust the brightness of specific or all screens. You can also manage DDC/CI functions such as contrast, volume and on/off status.
