About this app

To be able to use this new feature I've developed this app.
Features:
- 🔦 dimming your flashlight level by level
- 🎚 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
- 🔒 private, no ads, no internet connection
- 💯 modern Material You (M3) design elements

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.

Editor's Take
FlashDim - Dim your flashlight sits at 4.8 stars across 4.3 thousand ratings on Google Play, and is still building an audience.
That score is hard to fake on a utility app — it usually signals a tool that stays out of your way, does one thing well, and doesn't pepper you with upsells.
Cyb3rKo is the publisher behind this release; we'd suggest taking a quick look at their other titles on Google Play if the style clicks with you. The last visible update lands 2025-09-06, which is a small but useful signal that the team is still shipping fixes rather than treating the app as abandoned.
