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.

The Strobe and Blink modes flash rapidly; if you or anyone nearby is sensitive to flashing light or has photosensitive epilepsy, please avoid them. While the light is on, the screen stays awake and uses battery, and can warm your phone during long use. PAY ONCE A single, one-time purchase unlocks everything — no subscription, no in-app purchases, no hidden fees. The same purchase covers both the iPhone and Apple Watch apps.
