It works on the lock screen: 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.
Works on Samsung Galaxy and other Android phones with a camera flash, Android 5.0 or newer. Inspired by the built-in Motorola chop for torch gesture.
WANT A QUICK FLASHLIGHT WITHOUT SHAKING?
Tap the flashlight button in the app, or use the Quick Settings tile. Adjustable flashlight brightness on supported phones (Android 13 and newer).
HOW IT WORKS
• Shake with the screen on: instant torch light, every time
• Screen off: pick up your phone first, then shake. A phone left idle for a long time can miss the first shake
• Quick Settings tile: light from anywhere, lock screen included
• Adjustable sensitivity: so it fires when you mean it, not in your pocket
MORE CONTROL
• Ignores shakes while you are on a phone call, 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 pop-up ads. The only ads are ones you choose to watch, to unlock extras like the dark theme.
Optional one-time Pro purchase: every feature without a video, plus quiet hours.
Power cut or power outage at night? Pick up your phone and shake it, and the flashlight comes on.
A NOTE ON ANDROID BATTERY SAVING
Android and some phone makers (Motorola, Samsung, 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.

Meet Posture Break, our new desk-break app for Android 8.0 and newer: a one-minute break in your chair.
On a few phone models, new installs now need a lighter shake.
