Desk lamps, eye-care lamps, LED bulbs, computer monitors, and smartphone screens may appear steady, while actually producing brightness fluctuations—flicker—that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Prolonged exposure to flickering light may contribute to eye fatigue, eye strain, headaches, or even dizziness. This app helps you detect flicker that may otherwise go unnoticed. 【QUICK FLICKER TEST】 Point your camera at a light source or screen. The app collects adaptive samples at multiple shutter speeds for about 3 seconds and continuously updates the screening result. • Screening result: Flicker detected / No significant flicker detected / Unable to determine • Eye comfort assessment: Low, medium, or high risk based on the measured flicker level • Detailed metrics: Flicker index, modulation depth, dominant frequency, and brightness waveform 【MORE THAN FLICKER DETECTION】 • Ambient illuminance estimate: Provides an approximate brightness range to help you assess whether the environment is suitable for visual tasks. • Color temperature estimate: Provides an approximate color temperature for reference. 【EXPORT AND SHARE】 Generate a PDF report containing the waveform, frequency spectrum, light source image, and test conclusion, or export the raw data as a CSV file. 【PRIVACY FIRST, FULLY OFFLINE】 • No ads, no analytics SDKs, and no account required. • The app does not actively connect to the internet. All data remains on your device. • Videos created during measurement are processed temporarily and deleted immediately after analysis. Only measurement results and notes are retained. • You can clear all locally stored data at any time from Settings. 【AVAILABLE IN 12 LANGUAGES】 Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, and Hindi. 【IMPORTANT NOTICE】 This app provides consumer-grade screening of lighting conditions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ZeroOne Keyboard at Free against Flicker Insight's $0.99. ZeroOne Keyboard also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Flicker Insight's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
ZeroOne Keyboard is free to download; Flicker Insight costs $0.99 up front. ZeroOne Keyboard sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Flicker Insight sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Flicker Insight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZeroOne Keyboard has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ZeroOne Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 60% of Flicker Insight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZeroOne Keyboard ships an update every 4 days, Flicker Insight every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
