Light a candle on your phone. Tap it to blow it out, tap again to relight it. Candle HD fills the screen with a real burning candle, filmed in high definition — not a cartoon flame and not a cheap loop. It burns for as long as you want, and your screen will not dim or lock while it does. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR • Ambience at dinner, in the bath, or on a shelf • A soft night light that will not wake anyone • Winding down, breathing, meditation • Birthday candles when there is no cake to hand • Prayer, remembrance and quiet moments • Power cuts, camping, and anywhere a real flame is not safe HOW IT WORKS Tap anywhere to blow the candle out. Tap again to light it. That is the whole app — there are no menus and no buttons on the candle, because a candle should not have a toolbar. Press and hold anywhere to reach options. • Never interrupts your music • Keeps the screen awake while it burns • Works on iPhone and iPad, back to iOS 15 • Remove Ads with a single one-time purchase — not a subscription
