Turn your iPhone into a full-on party light. Party Lights fills your whole screen with bright, colorful strobe, disco and color-wash effects — and they can flash in time with your music. No bulbs, no setup, no account. Just open the app and the room lights up. Whether you're throwing a house party, setting the mood for a chill night, running a mini club in your living room, or just having fun with the kids, Party Lights gives you a pocket-sized light show that's ready in one tap. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Full-screen light modes — sharp Strobe flashes, smooth breathing Pulse, a mirror Disco Ball, flowing Color Wash and a moving Rainbow. • React to your music — switch on sound mode and the lights flash to the beat using your microphone. Nothing is ever recorded or sent anywhere; it all happens on your device. • Tune everything — set the speed with a slider or tap the tempo yourself, pick from vivid colors, and dial in the brightness. • Flash the camera light — add your phone's rear flashlight to the strobe for an extra punch. • Save your colors — found a color you love? Save it and relaunch the exact same light with a single tap. MADE FOR ANY MOMENT Party Lights was built to be genuinely useful the second you open it. The core modes, colors, sound reactivity, tap tempo and the camera-light strobe are all there from the start. Pick your vibe with one tap and the app switches to what you're after — a punchy neon strobe, smooth color moods, or a music-synced show. WORKS FULLY OFFLINE There's no login and no internet required. Party Lights runs entirely on your device, so it works at the cabin, the campsite, or anywhere the signal drops. Your settings and saved colors stay private on your phone. FREE VS PRO Free includes the Solid, Glow, Strobe and Pulse modes, nine colors, sound-reactive mode, tap tempo, brightness, the camera-light strobe, and joining a synced party. Party Lights Pro unlocks: • All light modes — Rainbow, Disco Ball, Color Wash and 7 more effects. • Every color, including your own custom colors and more. • Music sensitivity control for tighter, punchier beat syncing. • Unlimited saved colors. A NOTE ON SAFETY Some effects use bright, rapidly flashing lights. A small number of people may be sensitive to flashing lights, so please stop and rest if you feel unwell, and keep the phone away from young children during a show.
