MY Morse Code Flashlight

Features
Read full description

Morse Flash turns your iPhone into a two-way Morse code tool that works with no signal at all β€” ideal for hiking, camping, boating, or any time you're off the grid. SEND (free) Type any short message and Morse Flash blinks it out using your phone's flashlight (torch). Pick your speed β€” Slow, Normal, or Fast β€” depending on whether a person or a camera is reading the flashes on the other end. Great for signaling across a distance line-of-sight. TAP (free) Enter Morse code by hand, two ways: β€’ Follow β€” hold one button in time with a light you're watching, and Morse Flash reads your dots, dashes, and gaps automatically. β€’ Buttons β€” tap explicit Dot and Dash buttons. Pause for a moment and the letter you built is filled in for you; pause a little longer to add a space. No need to press "end letter." RECEIVE (Pro) Point your camera at a blinking light and watch the message decode live on screen, letter by letter. It reads a phone torch or a screen, and copes with the camera adjusting its own brightness. RECORD (Pro) Capture a longer transmission and decode the whole thing in one pass β€” useful when the message is longer than you can follow in real time. SAVED MESSAGES (Pro) Every decoded message is kept with a timestamp, so you can read coordinates or directions back later instead of writing them on paper. Tap the history icon in the top bar. FREE AND PRO Send and Tap are free forever. Receive, Record and Saved Messages are Morse Flash Pro. Every install begins with a 14-day free trial of everything β€” no account and no subscription. After the trial, a single $3.99 purchase unlocks Pro permanently on all your devices. Everything runs 100% on your device. No account, no internet, no data collection β€” it works in airplane mode and never sends anything anywhere. The camera is used only to measure brightness; no photo or video is ever recorded or stored. Whether you're learning Morse, teaching it, or want a genuine no-signal way to send SOS, Morse Flash keeps it simple.
