Flashlight
Flashlight Fast, reliable, no nonsense

One tap. Bright light.

A flashlight that just works. One tap on the widget, a shake of the phone, or the quick-tile — your light is on. Plus a Morse SOS, full-screen color light, and a built-in magnifier.

FEATURES

Everything a flashlight should be — nothing more.

No locked features, no popups, no surprise paywalls. Just a torch you can trust the moment the room goes dark.

One-tap torch

The big power button is the whole UI. Open the app, tap, light. Or skip the app entirely with the home-screen widget and quick-settings tile.

Shake to toggle

Reach into your bag, give the phone a shake — torch on. Three sensitivity levels. Background-aware so it keeps working even when the app isn't open.

Strobe with speed control

Off, slow, medium, fast. Useful for signalling at a campsite, drawing attention in an emergency, or as a workshop strobe.

SOS in Morse

Internationally recognized · · · — — — · · · pattern. Three speeds. The screen mirrors the rhythm so help can see you even at a distance.

Screen as a light

Turn the whole display into a soft, full-bright panel. Six color presets — warm yellow won't blind a sleeping kid; red preserves night vision.

Magnifier with the torch on

1×, 2×, 4×, 8× zoom with the LED automatically lighting whatever you're trying to read. Tap to freeze the frame for a steady look.

EVERY WAY TO TURN IT ON

Open the app — or don't.

Most "flashlight emergencies" don't give you time to find an icon. We made sure you never have to.

1

Home-screen widget

A 1×1 widget that toggles the torch in a single tap. Drop it next to your clock and never open the app again.

2

Quick-settings tile

Add Flashlight to your pull-down quick-settings panel. One tap from the lockscreen, even with the phone face-down on the table.

3

Shake the phone

Hands-free toggle that works in your pocket, in a glove, or while carrying groceries. Set the sensitivity once and forget about it.

EVERY MODE AT A GLANCE

Five taps, five tools.

QUESTIONS

The short version.

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no ads, no in-app purchases, no premium tier. Every feature is unlocked on first launch.

What permissions does it use?

Camera (to control the LED flash) and a foreground service for shake detection. Nothing else — no location, no contacts, no microphone.

Will it drain my battery?

The torch itself is what consumes power, like any flashlight. The shake-detection service is built around the low-power motion sensor and is designed to be background-friendly.

What about my data?

Flashlight runs entirely on your device — no account, no cloud sync. Read the privacy policy for the full breakdown of what the app does and doesn't access.

Light. Right now.

One tap, one shake, one tile-press — whichever's nearest. A flashlight that's there before you've finished thinking "I need a flashlight."
