Twinkle Tray, the brilliant app which makes it very easy to adjust the brightness of external monitors connected to a Windows computer, has received an update to feel at home on Windows 11.

If you've never used Twinkle Tray before, you most likely didn't spot the Windows limitations when it comes to adjusting the brightness amounts of multiple monitors or you didn't know such an app exists in the first place.

The actual way it works isn't just extremely straightforward but also pretty clever, as Twinkle Tray brings a simple slider to the system tray, letting you easily adjust the brightness associated with a external monitor that is attached to the device.

Completely free

It receives data in the connected monitors via DDC/CI and WMI, and the number of monitors doesn't even matter. When they're connected to the computer and all requirements are met, Twinkle Tray can detect them and permit users to adjust the brightness level accordingly.

"Twinkle Tray enables you to easily manage the brightness levels of multiple monitors. Even though Windows 10 is capable of adjusting the backlight of all monitors, it typically doesn't support external monitors. Windows also lacks any capability to manage the brightness of multiple monitors. This app inserts a new icon to your system tray, where one can click to have instant access towards the brightness levels of all compatible monitors," the app description reads.

"Twinkle Tray uses DDC/CI and WMI to communicate with your monitors. Be sure you possess the appropriate option(s) enabled in your monitor in order that it can work with Twinkle Tray."

Built in Electron, the app is completely free of charge and comes with no ads, sporting a UI that perfectly aligns with the remainder of the OS. You can find it in Microsoft Store - you can download the app on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
