Perhaps this should be a function of the default brightness level? If the user has brightness turned low this could end up increasing it, right?

We should probably capture the current value as late as possible (i.e. just before changing it), to minimize surprising behavior if the user changes brightness while on this screen?

In addition to when leaving the screen, should we disable the brightness override when the app is moved to background?

The lifecycle of "when we disable the screen" is a little surprising to me. In particular, we enter "do not sleep" mode when you start the timer, but do not leave it when you stop the timer. I'd suggest either enabling it as soon as the user enters the screen, or disabling it when the timer is not running.
