About this app

Shake your phone and the flashlight turns on. Shake again and it turns off.
No unlocking, no hunting for a button, no opening an app.

Looking for a torch that turns on without unlocking your phone? That is exactly what this does: no button, no app to open, just shake.

Inspired by the built-in Motorola chop for torch gesture, and it works on any Android phone.

HOW IT WORKS
• Shake with the screen on: instant torch light, every time
• Pick up your phone, then shake: works with the screen off
• Quick Settings tile: light from anywhere, lock screen included
• Adjustable sensitivity: so it fires when you mean it, not in your pocket

MORE CONTROL
• Turns itself off during phone calls, if you want it to
• Starts automatically when your phone boots
• Track your streak and unlock achievements as you go

FREE, WITH NO SUBSCRIPTION
No weekly charges. No paywall. No locked features.
No pop-up ads. The only ad is one you choose to watch, to unlock appearances extras.

A NOTE ON ANDROID BATTERY SAVING
Android and some phone makers (Motorola, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Huawei and others) stop background apps to save battery. This affects every torch app of this kind, not just ours. We handle it: the app restarts itself automatically when your phone allows it, and tells you what happened when it can't. For the most reliable results, allow background use when the app asks.

Shake Flashlight & Torch was formerly called Shake to Enable Torch: same app, same shake.
Shake your phone for instant flashlight & torch. Works on lock screen.

I've been missing the shake to toggle flashlight ever since I moved to a pixel from a motorola. I looked through the appstore here and found many supposed apps that offer that, but had ads, in-app purchases, or both. One even wanted $15 PER WEEK for the premium version. For a flashlight app! Then I stumbled upon this one, no reviews but no ads or anything. Installing and cranked the sensitivity to the max. It just works. It just works! It. Just. Works.

sorry for my gen z ness or wtv but damn this is acually fun and it keeps track of how many times it turns on and it has a streak! u can adjust the brightness if u couldnt alr and u can adjust the force of shake, so if u want a rly hard shark u gatta shake it rly rly hard and a light shake it can turn on easily and sometimes accidentally. and overall its just useful and fun!!

I gave it a 4 just because of the too short vibration when shaking it it feels too dry/brittle... I love it strong like in Motorola Phones... That's all If it was that way I would have gave a 5 🌟. Overall Great App. Good Work

What’s new

Improved: the short video that unlocks the dark theme and the achievements is now loaded before you tap, so it plays right away. If it is still loading you can wait a few seconds or tap Not now. Each unlock now lasts five minutes on its own.

Fixed: the puzzle game's Get button opens Google Play directly instead of asking which store to use.
