Morse Watcher turns your device's camera and flashlight into a two-way optical Morse code communication tool. One device flashes its light: short for a dot, long for a dash. The other device's camera reads the flashes as text. DECODE • Point your camera at a light flashing Morse code, tap it, and Morse Watcher detects the pulses and translates them to text in real time. • Auto mode in Settings learns the sender's speed. Custom mode lets you set it for the best accuracy. • Use the zoom control to get closer to a distant light. SEND • Type a message, hit send, and Morse Watcher flashes your torch in precisely timed pulses. • Tap the mic to dictate your message instead of typing it. With the keyboard minimized, end your message with "over" to send it hands-free. Available on iOS 26 and later. SOS TORCH (FREE) • Flash SOS, the international distress signal, to anyone who can see your light. DRIVER ALERT (FREE) • A bright strobe that can help others notice you in the dark. KEY FEATURES • Send and receive in one screen — collapsible sender panel • Audio tone while decoding — Sound in Settings • Works fully offline — no internet required IDEAL FOR Ham radio operators, scouts, survivalists, Morse learners, Campers, puzzle and escape room enthusiasts.
