The inspiration comes from my own needs. When the baby is born, he is very noisy at night. He will stop crying when he sees the light at night. Then preset a soft light off and turn on the countdown. Because after the baby falls asleep, the parents may also fall asleep and forget to turn off the screen. With the countdown function, it is very convenient to save power. A simple M3 design fill light flashlight software Built-in a variety of lights for taking pictures Preset light source types Meet the lighting needs of different periods Built-in a variety of scene lights Focus, relax, take pictures, etc. There is also a countdown function Built-in 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 2 hours countdown time, if the countdown is turned on, the app will automatically close the software after the countdown is completed Listen to advice, give more suggestions and opinions, thank you for your comments!
