Motto Flashlight
Shake twice. Light on.
Turn your flashlight on or off with two quick shakes, even when your phone is locked and the screen is off. No buttons, no unlocking, no searching in the dark.
Get it on Google Play
How it works
Set it up once, then reach for light anytime.
Open the app once
Try the shake on the test screen and pick the sensitivity that suits you.
Shake twice, quickly
Flick your wrist back and forth two times. The flashlight turns on right away.
Shake again to turn off
The same gesture switches it off. Or let the auto-off timer do it for you.
Features
Everything you need from a flashlight, nothing you don't.
Works when locked
The shake works with the screen off. No need to unlock your phone first.
Hard to trigger by accident
Uses the motion sensors to recognize a real back-and-forth shake, not walking, running or a bump.
Your sensitivity
Choose how hard to shake (1–10) and how many shakes it takes (2, 3 or 4).
Brightness control
Dim or brighten the flashlight on supported phones running Android 13 or newer.
Strobe and SOS
A strobe with adjustable speed, and an SOS signal in Morse code for emergencies.
Auto-off timer
Turns the light off after 1, 5, 10 or 30 minutes so you never drain your battery by mistake.
Pocket detection
Won't switch the light on while your phone is in a pocket or bag.
Quick tile and widget
Toggle the light from Quick Settings or a home screen widget too.
Battery guard
Pauses the shake gesture when your battery is low, and resumes when you charge.
Private by design
No ads. No accounts. No internet access. Motto Flashlight doesn't collect, store or share any personal data.
