About

Lumorse

Features
Read full description

Type a message and Lumorse turns it into Morse code, transmitted through your screen, camera flash, or vibration. Point your camera at a blinking light and Lumorse reads the signal back as text. Lumorse brings creating, sending, decoding and learning Morse code together in a single app. HOW IT WORKS Write a message and pick how to send it: screen, camera flash, or vibration. Customize signal speed, repeat count, start delay, screen color and brightness. You can even build your own custom signal patterns from short and long pulses and pauses. With Receive Signal, point your camera at any blinking light source; the app analyzes changes in light intensity and converts the detected Morse signal into readable text. Camera frames are processed on your device only — no video is ever recorded or stored. KEY FEATURES • Convert text to Morse and send via screen, flash or vibration • Decode incoming light signals with your camera • Build custom pulse-and-pause patterns • Adjust signal speed, repeats, delay, color and brightness • Save, search, favorite and replay messages, patterns and decoded signals LEARN & PRACTICE • Browse the Morse alphabet — letters, numbers and symbols • Preview rhythms on screen or as vibration • Test yourself with short quiz sessions PRIVACY Lumorse works fully offline and needs no account or internet connection. Camera frames never leave your device. SUPPORT Questions or feedback? Reach us through our support page.

Morse Code

Morse Code turns text into light with a clean, focused transmitter for iPhone. Type a message and see its International Morse Code sequence before and while it sends. Use the rear flashlight for visible signaling, or switch to full-screen output when the torch is unavailable or you prefer the display. Features: • Live dot-and-dash preview with message progress • Rear-flashlight and full-screen light output • Adjustable Morse speed with a device timing estimator • Pause, resume, stop, replay, and continuous repeat • One-tap SOS text shortcut (does not contact emergency services) • Support for letters, numbers, and common punctuation • Accessible labels, large controls, haptics, and reduced-motion support • No account, ads, analytics, or cloud backend Everything you type is converted locally on your device. Messages are not sent to Sarcomere or stored on a remote server. Flashlight control requires Camera permission because iOS exposes the rear LED through the camera system. Morse Code never takes, saves, inspects, or transmits photos or video. If Camera access is denied, Screen output remains available. Safety: Do not aim flashing light at eyes, drivers, aircraft, or photosensitive people. Morse Code is a signaling utility, not an emergency service or certified safety device. Optional support: leave a one-time tip from Settings if you would like to support development. Tips are entirely optional, do not unlock features, and are not a subscription. The App Store shows the price and asks for confirmation before charging.
