For people that surf the net in the dark (eye strain)

SOunds like a daft app. Just use background/ambient lighting surely or turn the contrast down on your screen. A lot of them automatically adjust if you want them to now.

Hmm useless for people like me who have hardware calibrated screens - makes a 120cd/m2 screen look well odd

120cd/m2 is the perfect luminance for comfortable eyes so if you can you're better off borrowing a colorometer and calibrating all your screens.

You'll find almost all screens today default to well beyond 250cd/m2 which is just way too bright and while not a health risk, it will cause fatigue and eyestrain in the dark.

This.

I turn the brightness and contrast settings down in the Nvidia control panel, but in the latest drivers they arent applying the changes on startup

I have a super bright monitor.

Ok... I'm used to it. Nice app!

Would be even better if my laptop had a light sensor.

This app is designed to change the colour temperature, not the overall brightness (though of course by changing the temperature it affects the brightness). Turning down the contrast and brightness would just muddy the image.
