Calise detects background light through your webcam and adjusts your screens brightness. Unfortunately, it's linux only. Are there Windows friendly alternatives, or a way of emulating it while using windows?

  • Many modern laptops include a built-in dedicated light sensor. If yours does, and if you're running Windows 7 Professional or higher, you can enable a Windows feature called "Adaptive Brightness" which will do what you want.

  • Otherwise, click here and download "SoftonEyes", or click here and get set up with some other software which can do what you want.

What you want is definitely possible. The best solution is to use your laptop's built-in light sensor, if it has one and you can use it. See my comments on your question, above.
