I got tired of reaching for each monitor's menu buttons just to change brightness, so I built a tiny Windows tray app for it.
Click the sun icon in the tray and you get one slider per display:
• Laptop screens: Windows' built-in brightness control (WMI)
• External monitors: DDC/CI over HDMI, DisplayPort or USB-C, which changes the real backlight
• Everything else (TVs, DisplayLink docks, monitors with DDC/CI off): a software dimming overlay
It's a single ~330 KB exe with no installer or runtime, written in Rust against raw Win32. When the popup is closed it uses 0% CPU and about 250 KB of RAM. It follows your light/dark theme and can start with Windows.
It's fully open source (MIT), so you can grab the exe from Releases or build it yourself:

Feedback and issues are welcome, especially from people with unusual monitor setups.
