Flashlight

Turn your phone into a flashlight. That's it. No ads, no sign-up, no permissions, and nothing watching what you do.

Tap the big button and the LED comes on. Tap again, it goes off. There's a home-screen widget too, so you can light up without even opening the app. The screen stays awake while the light is on, so the torch won't shut off mid-task.

Most flashlight apps are bloated with ads, ask for your location or your contacts (things a torch has no business needing), and quietly track you. This one doesn't. It uses your camera's flash through the standard Android torch control, which needs no permissions at all, so there's nothing to grant and nothing to leak.

WHAT YOU GET

• One-tap on/off with a big, easy target
• Auto-off timer: turns itself off after 5 minutes, or any time you set up to an hour
• Brightness levels on phones that support them (Android 13 and newer)
• SOS strobe and a full-screen white light, one tap each
• Battery level and the timer's countdown on the main screen
• Home-screen widget: toggle the torch without opening the app
• Keeps the screen on while lit
• Five themes, including a high-contrast mode
• Works offline

THE LOXLEY PROMISE

Loxley Labs makes simple tools the old way: each one does one job well, then stops. This one's free, and it stays free. No subscriptions, no terms that change after you install it. If it earns a spot on your phone, you can buy me a coffee; a coffee is a thank-you, never a paywall.
