Flashlight, the flashlight app with an LED banner and Morse SOS
Flashlight is an Android flashlight app: it switches on the rear flash in one tap, with an automatic shutoff timer of 1, 5 or 15 minutes (or anywhere from 1 to 1,440 minutes) and a home screen widget. It also offers a colored screen light (white, red, amber or a custom hue), an LED banner to show a message in large text in landscape, and a Morse SOS that only sends a light signal.
The four basic tools work offline without an account, and your text is processed on the device. You can export or delete saved signs in Settings, with an optional passphrase to protect the exported file.
The free version may show a banner and recommendations for other Clearforge apps on the home screen. Panel Pro, a one-time Google Play purchase, removes these promotions and adds adjustable scrolling text, extra styles and the option to save signs for later.
