Your iPhone already carries the brightest light you own β€” FlashTorch turns it into a proper torch, signal lamp and Morse transmitter you control from one screen. Most flashlight apps are a single button and a wall of ads. FlashTorch is a four-workspace light kit: Torch drives the hardware LED with a precise beam dial, Screen turns the display into a colored lamp, Signal flashes SOS or any message you type in International Morse, and Tools keeps your favorite setups one tap away. It never opens the camera and never asks for camera permission. WHAT YOU GET β€’ A steady LED beam you can dim from 100% down to 10% β€” full glare for the driveway, a soft glow that won't wake anyone β€’ Four strobes tuned to a job: Beacon marks your position, Bike keeps you seen on the road, Search finds a dropped earring, Rapid demands attention β€’ The standard SOS pattern running hands-free until you stop it β€” flashed on the screen if your device has no LED β€’ A Morse translator: type up to 120 characters and the light spells them out, with the full A–Z reference chart built in β€’ A full-screen lamp in six colors with its own brightness dial β€” red preserves night vision, warm white settles a nursery β€’ Presets that store mode, level, color and timer together, so "Low-light red" or "Quick find" is ready before you are out the door PERFECT FOR β€’ Campers and hikers who want a beacon, tent lamp and signal light in one pocket β€’ Cyclists and dog walkers who need to be seen after dark β€’ Boaters and preppers who practice SOS and Morse before they need it β€’ Parents who want a dim red or warm glow instead of the ceiling light WHY NOT JUST USE THE CONTROL CENTER FLASHLIGHT? It is one white light at one job. It cannot strobe, cannot flash SOS, cannot spell a message in Morse, cannot tint the screen red for night vision, and will not switch itself off after 15 minutes when you fall asleep. FlashTorch does all of it β€” and shows a photosensitivity warning before anything flashes. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything runs on your device. No account, no ads, no analytics SDK, no tracking β€” and no camera access: FlashTorch drives the LED without ever opening a capture session. FULL ACCESS FlashTorch Pro unlocks the beam-level dial, all four strobe presets, Morse message transmission, the five extra screen-lamp colors and the auto-off timers β€” on a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Download FlashTorch before the next power cut, then save a "Blackout" preset so the right light is two taps away.
