Warnung: Diese App erzeugt schnell blitzendes Licht. Wenn du an Epilepsie leidest oder zu Photosensitivität neigst, benutze sie nicht. Bei Schwindel, Übelkeit oder Sehstörungen sofort beenden. Strobe macht aus dem iPhone-Blitz ein präzises Stroboskop. Frequenz und Helligkeit stellst du stufenlos ein, drei Modi decken die häufigsten Anwendungsfälle ab. Funktionen - Frequenz von 0,5 bis 100 Hz, stufenlos einstellbar - Helligkeit von 10 bis 100 Prozent - Modus „Dauerhaft": konstantes Pulsen mit der gewählten Frequenz - Modus „Auf den Beat": das Mikrofon erkennt Musik und blitzt im Takt, Pulse skalieren mit der Beat-Stärke - Modus „Hold": Finger auf das Feld = Blitz an - Sensitivity-Slider für den Beat-Modus - Hintergrund-Modus: läuft weiter, wenn das Display aus ist - Funktioniert komplett offline, keine Konten, keine Tracker Wofür Party und Disco, Long-Exposure-Fotografie, improvisiertes Bühnenlicht, Workout-Intervalle, Sichtbarkeit beim Laufen im Dunkeln. Datenschutz Strobe sammelt nichts. Keine Analytics, keine Werbung, keine Cloud. Audio aus dem Mikrofon wird nur lokal zur Beat-Erkennung verarbeitet und nie aufgezeichnet oder gesendet.

LumaLink turns your iPhone into a versatile light - by a tap, automatically as you approach, conveniently from your Apple Watch, or as a light show for the party. Whether at the campsite, on a night walk, as an outdoor night light, in your camper van, during a power outage or while reading in the tent: LumaLink gives you light exactly when you need it - no fumbling in the dark. HIGHLIGHTS - Flashlight with stepless brightness and a smooth fade - Remote control from your Apple Watch - on/off and dimming right from your wrist - Auto light on approach: using Ultra Wideband, LumaLink notices when you come closer with your watch and turns the light on automatically - and off again when you leave - Lock mode: a black screen that protects against accidental taps - unlock with 5 taps, a long press, or from your Apple Watch - Power saver: screen fully dark, the light stays on - Pair several iPhones and use them together as lamps SCREEN LIGHT When the LED is not the right tool, the screen itself becomes a lamp: • Warm light for reading and as a night light • Daylight for selfies, make-up and video calls • Red light that keeps your night vision: for camping, fishing and stargazing • Candle and campfire with a calm, natural flicker SIGNAL & SOS • Morse SOS, beacon and fast strobe • The LED flashes, the screen stays calm EVERY DAY • Sleep timer: the light turns itself off after 5 to 120 minutes • Battery guard: shuts down before the battery runs out • Nightstand light: lying on its side while charging, LumaLink shows a clock and glows dimly • Siri, Shortcuts, Lock Screen widget, Control Centre and the Action button DISCO MODE Turn one or more iPhones into a light show: - Flashes to the beat of your music - detected live via the microphone, or by tap tempo/BPM - Light patterns: All, Chase, Alternate or Random - Choose which iPhone runs the show (host) - the others flash along automatically (guests) - Arrange several iPhones freely and tap one to identify it with an LED flash - Start and stop the disco right from your Apple Watch GREAT FOR Camping & tents - parties & celebrations - outdoor night light - camper van - garden evenings - power outages - workshop & basement - night walks with the dog LumaLink uses only your devices' hardware - no account, no cloud, no data sharing. Note: auto light on approach needs an iPhone 11 or newer and an Apple Watch Series 6 or newer with Ultra Wideband. Disco mode with music detection uses the microphone.
