Kde Plasma has monitor brightness control build-in. No need for an app.

There is ddccontrol and ddcutil for controlling desktop monitors. There is also the ddcci-driver which adds a device to /sys/class/backlight so you can use programs that would normally be used for controlling a laptop backlight.
