Turn your iPhone’s rear LED into a flashlight with a clean charcoal screen and a vivid mint symbol. • Tap the symbol to turn the light on or off. • Swipe up or down, or use the settings slider, to adjust brightness. • Touch and slide across the dots to change the blink rate as you move. The dots fill from the left. • Choose steady light or blinking from 1–25 Hz. • Choose whether to show the status bar and prevent auto-lock while the light is on. • Smooth transitions and VoiceOver labels. Requires an iPhone with a rear LED flash and iOS 17 or later. The LED stops when the app becomes inactive. Actual brightness and blink timing depend on the device and its temperature. Extended use can consume battery and generate heat. Avoid blinking light if you are sensitive to flashing lights. This edition includes banner advertising through Google AdMob. No account is required.

More than a flashlight. One app for everyday light, cycling and running visibility, a music-reactive party strobe, and your own custom flash pattern. FLASHLIGHT Instant torch access with a single tap. Adjustable brightness for everyday use. CYCLING A dedicated visibility mode for riding after dark. Choose from City, Dark Road, High Vis, or a fully custom preset. Use your screen as a Rear Light in Solid, Pulse, or Double styles, in Red, Amber, or White. Optional Brake Light uses motion detection to briefly flash red when you slow down suddenly. Note: this mode is a visibility aid, not a substitute for legally required bike lights, and it does not guarantee safety. WALKING A separate visibility mode for walking in low light, with Soft, Beacon, Attention, and Custom presets, plus adjustable screen color and brightness. RUNNING Two light modes for runs: a steady Normal Pulse, or Motion Reactive, which adjusts to your movement and pace. This is a visibility light, not a fitness tracker — there's no GPS, distance tracking, step counting, or heart-rate monitoring. EMERGENCY A bright, attention-grabbing visual SOS signal for extra visibility when it matters. Important: this is a visual signal only. It does not contact police, ambulance, rescue services, or any emergency contacts. PARTY A sound-reactive light mode. Your iPhone's microphone is analyzed in real time, on-device, so the light pulses with the bass and energy of the music around you. Choose Low, Medium, or High sensitivity, or set your own rhythm with Tap Tempo. CUSTOM PATTERN Build your own flash pattern by setting the exact on and off duration. Your pattern is saved locally on your device. PRIVACY Flashlight collects no user data. There's no advertising SDK, no tracking SDK, and no account required. Microphone analysis for the Party mode and motion detection for Cycling and Running happen entirely on your device — audio is never recorded, stored, or uploaded anywhere. A NOTE ON SAFETY Rapid flashing lights can affect people who are sensitive to light. Please use the strobe and flashing modes thoughtfully. As noted above, Emergency mode sends a visual signal only and does not contact emergency services.
