What kinds of FOSS DDC/CI managers are out there? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey, I'm tired of manually setting the brightness on my monitors every morning and evening. Is there a DDC/CI program out there that I can setup to change the brightness automatically at set time points?

ddcutil on linux with some cronjobs to automate it?

I read about that and I'll look into it for my Linux machine, but are there any Windows options?

I can recommend Twinkle Tray

I believe Redshift can change screen brightness depending on time of day. At least, it says so in the manpage

OSes often provide night light settings (Windows, Linux, Phone) where you can set a time and have some options (strength, color filter).

Those don't affect the actual screen brightness, though. Or I haven't found out how.
