WARNING - FLASHING LIGHTS: This app flashes bright light rapidly, which can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy, even with no history of seizures. It starts at a gentle 3 flashes per second and asks you to confirm before going faster. Stop immediately and see a doctor if you feel dizzy, nauseous, disoriented, or notice twitching or altered vision. Do not use around anyone who may be sensitive to flashing light. PartyLight turns your phone into a light that moves with the music. It listens through the microphone, finds the beat, and flashes the whole screen - and the camera flash - right on it. EIGHT MODES - Strobe: hard white flash on every beat - Pulse: colour swells and falls with the beat - Rainbow: hue sweeps while the beat pulses - Fire: warm flicker with a beat kick - Police: red and blue alternating - Slow Fade: gentle colour drift for chill sets - Bass Drop: only the heavy low hits trigger - Manual: your own saved look WORKS WITHOUT THE MICROPHONE Don't want to grant microphone access? PartyLight runs on a steady beat you set yourself, from 60 to 200 BPM. Every mode still works. THE MICROPHONE IS NEVER RECORDED Audio is analysed in real time to find the beat and immediately discarded. Nothing is recorded, saved, or uploaded. BUILT FOR ACTUAL PARTIES - Rear camera flash synced to the beat, with an automatic cut-off so your phone doesn't overheat - Screen stays awake and goes to full brightness - No ads on the light screen itself - No account, no sign-up PartyLight is free and supported by ads.
