Beam: Torch, Strobe & SOS

Homilabs

About this app

Beam turns your phone into a simple, powerful light. No account, no sign-in, nothing to set up. Open it and tap.

TORCH
• One big switch for instant light
• Adjustable brightness on phones that support it (Android 13 and newer with a compatible flash)
• Stays in sync with the torch in your quick settings

SIGNALS
• Strobe from 1 to 15 flashes a second
• SOS distress signal in proper Morse timing
• Morse code: type any message and Beam flashes it, with a live dot-dash readout
• Adjustable speed, repeat or play once
• Send signals with the flash or with the whole screen

SCREEN LIGHT
• Turn the whole screen into a soft lamp
• Any colour: warm white for reading, red to keep your night vision, or any shade you like
• Adjust brightness with a slider or by swiping up and down
• Keeps the screen awake while it glows

SMALL AND PRIVATE
• No login and no account
• Works fully offline
• Needs no permissions — not even camera access
• Settings stay on your phone

Safety: signals flash rapidly. Flashing light can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Never shine the light into anyone's eyes.
