About

Flashlight Countdown

Read full description

Flashlight Timer turns your iPhone's rear light into a calm, adjustable light for physical reading, bedside use, and short tasks. Choose a quick duration or set any whole minute from 1 to 60. Select the light level, start the timer, and let the display fade to a fully black screen to reduce glare. Tap the black screen whenever you need to see the countdown or turn the light off immediately. Designed for a focused foreground session: • 5, 10, 15, and 30 minute quick choices • Any duration from 1 to 60 minutes • Five flashlight levels, from a faint glow to maximum • Optional automatic screen dimming • Tap-to-restore timer controls • Immediate manual shutoff • Local preferences with no account or tracking • Clear safety and permission guidance Keep Flashlight Timer open while the light is on. Opening Control Center, leaving the app, or locking your iPhone ends the session and switches the flashlight off early. This safety-first behavior avoids promising background flashlight control that iOS cannot guarantee.
