- 🎚 shortcut buttons for different brightness levels
- 🆘 SOS flash button
- 📫 morse code flash mode
- ⏲️ Interval / BPM mode
- ⚡ quick settings tile for fast access
- 🔊 press both volume buttons for easy flashlight toggle

Of course this app is part of the open source community.

Accessibility Service Disclosure:
To offer the functionality to toggle the flashlight using the volume buttons FlashDim uses an accessibility service. It is able to read key events and react to the click of the volume buttons.
I do not process or collect any kind of data other than the volume button key events. To verify that, you can access this app's source code on GitHub.

Ratings and reviews

Super easy to use on my Google Pixel 10 Pro XL since my phone,as of March 27, 2026, doesn't have a way to adjust the brightness for the flashlight like the iPhone has. According to Gemini Pro & Thinking models, some versions of my phone do have that function: however, mine doesn't. The app was easy to set up and add to my quick settings. I love that you can adjust the brightness to any setting and then save that as the brightness level in the quick settings. Exactly what I wanted!

Really handy. I use this mostly when I do a little bit of reading in bed on my phone before sleep but I don't like the room to be totally dark with any kind of light in my eyes. It's almost like having a backlight on your TV on the wall in a dark room so the TV screen isn't on a totally black background. So to balance the room out a little bit I put the flashlight on minimum dim just to give the background of the room a little bit of light while I'm reading. Very nice app. Very easy to use.

It's an amazing little app. You can replace the flashlight tile in the pull-down menu with it so that the light comes on at whatever level you want. Very easy to set to maximum, minimum, half brightness with the push of a button. And by sliding your finger up and down on the bar you can select any level in between. Definitely going to have this on every phone I own going forward.
