Flashlight
Controls the device flashlight with variable intensity.
Overview
Flashlight gives you direct control over your device's rear torch (flashlight), including fine-grained intensity adjustment. You can turn it on or off with a single tap, jump to preset brightness levels, or dial in an exact intensity with the slider.

Power Button
A large circular button in the center of the screen turns the flashlight on and off. When the torch is active, the button glows to give you a clear visual confirmation that the light is on.
Tap the button once to turn the flashlight on. Tap it again to turn it off.
Intensity Presets
Below the power button, a presets card offers four brightness levels, each shown with a distinct icon representing its intensity:
- Low -- 25% intensity.
- Medium -- 50% intensity.
- High -- 75% intensity.
- Max -- 100% intensity (full power).
Tap any preset to instantly jump to that brightness level. The flashlight turns on automatically if it is not already active.
Fine-Tune Slider
For precise control, use the intensity slider to set the torch brightness anywhere from 0% to 100%. Drag the slider to adjust brightness smoothly. The current intensity percentage is displayed alongside the slider so you can see the exact value.
Status Card
A status card at the bottom of the screen shows:
- Torch availability -- whether the device has a torch that can be controlled.
- Current state -- on or off.
- Intensity -- the current brightness percentage.
Notes And Limitations
- Flashlight requires a device with a rear camera flash (torch). On devices without a torch, the screen displays an "Unavailable" message. The flashlight and the variable-intensity slider both require a device with a torch; many iPads have no torch and will show as unavailable.
- The flashlight uses camera hardware. If another app is actively using the camera, the torch may not be available until that app releases the camera.
- The number of distinct brightness levels depends on your device hardware. Some devices support more granular intensity steps than others.
- The flashlight will turn off automatically if the app is closed or moved to the background.
