Awaken fully with this app that automatically triggers your phone's flashlight/torch when your alarm goes off during early morning darkness.Tested on Samsung's stock alarm app and LineageOS alarm app.
How to use:
1. On Android 13, You're asked to allow the app to post a notification for the foreground service. (optional)
2. Toggle the switch to turn the alarm listener service on or off.
3. That's all!
CAUTION:
Be careful not to put the phone close to your eyes since the flashlight can hurt your eyes!
Instead, leave it at least one meter away from you so the light can gently wake you up.
Permissions:
- It needs android.permission.FLASHLIGHT to turn on the flashlight/torch.
- It needs android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE to run the alarm listener service.
- It needs android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS to post the foreground service notification.
WhatsNew:
v1.0.0
- Now you can configure the lighting pattern of the flashlight/torch: static/fixed, blinking or signal.
- Also, you can set the flashlight/torch speed/frequency: [100ms ~ 1000ms.].
- Now dismissing the alarm alert turns off the flashlight/torch too.
- The app is even more easier to use by reducing the number of steps to enable the service from 2 taps (in v0.0.1) to 1 tap (v1.0.0).
- Complete rework of the app: new UI.
- Reduced the size of the app from 10 MiB to 1.5 MiB.
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
