Features & Capabilities

Flashlight Widget is a minimalist and lightweight tool that utilizes your device's camera flash to provide instant illumination. Designed as a simple widget to be placed on your homescreen, it offers a one-press toggle for the LED flash with no unnecessary permissions or ads. Sized under 30kb, this stable widget ensures efficient use without compromising device performance.

Built with privacy in mind, the widget only requires camera permission to access the flash and wake lock to keep the light active when your screen is off. The source code is openly available on GitHub under the MIT License, promoting transparency and trust. Ideal for users who want a straightforward, ad-free flashlight solution directly accessible from their homescreen without cluttering their app drawer.
