Flashlight: LED, Widget, SOS

Flashlight is a lightweight LED torch with a home-screen widget, a Quick Settings tile, SOS, strobe, and a full-white screen light for phones without an LED. One big button to toggle. No nonsense, no clutter, no account.

TORCH AND BRIGHTNESS
- One large button, a single tap toggles the LED on or off
- Brightness slider on Pixel and other multi-level torches (Android 13+)
- Modern CameraManager API, so no jittery preview surface and no background camera leak
- Stays in sync with the system torch. Toggle from anywhere and the widget updates

HOME-SCREEN WIDGET AND QUICK SETTINGS TILE
- Single-tap widget turns the torch on without launching the app
- Quick Settings tile toggles directly from the system pull-down
- Both update live when the LED state changes elsewhere

SOS AND STROBE
- SOS Morse pattern with adjustable timing
- Strobe with selectable frequency (1 to 20 Hz)
- Custom Morse. Long-press the SOS button to send your own message

MORSE IN YOUR OWN ALPHABET
- Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese kana and Korean each blink in their own genuine Morse alphabet, the same ones telegraph operators used
- Every other script is converted automatically, so a message in Hindi, Thai, Chinese or Georgian goes out as readable Morse too
- Digits and the punctuation . , ? ! / @ & are included

SCREEN FLASHLIGHT
- Full-white screen at maximum brightness as a fallback when there is no LED
- Five colour modes for signalling, photography fill light, or reading

DESIGN AND LANGUAGES
- Material 3 interface, dark by default, edge-to-edge
- The app speaks 72 languages

TYPICAL USES
Power outages and night-time emergencies. Camping and hiking. Reading in bed. Photography fill light. Roadside repairs and vehicle inspections. Searching dark drawers, attics and crawl spaces. Signalling on a trail. Reading menus and small print in dim restaurants. Pet emergencies. Walking the dog at night.

PERMISSIONS
- Camera, required to drive the LED. Android exposes the flashlight through the camera API and no images or video are captured
- Internet, used only to load the small banner advertisement

PRIVACY
No account. No sign-up. No subscription. No in-app purchases. A small banner is served via AdMob, see the Data Safety section for AdMob's third-party disclosures. Anonymous usage metrics (which buttons get tapped) are sent via Firebase Analytics, no personal data. Made in Switzerland by an independent developer.
