This app is designed to provide users with a new feature that allows them to control the brightness of their flashlight. It offers a variety of features such as dimming the flashlight level by level, shortcut buttons for different brightness levels, an SOS flash button, a morse code flash mode, and an interval/BPM mode. Additionally, it includes a quick settings tile for fast access and the ability to toggle the flashlight by pressing both volume buttons. The app also boasts a modern Material You (M3) design and adapts its colors to match the device's system colors.
One of the key aspects of this app is its focus on privacy and user experience. It is a private app with no ads and does not require an internet connection. It is also part of the open source community, allowing users to access its source code on GitHub. This transparency ensures that the app does not collect or process any data other than the volume button key events.
In order to offer the functionality of toggling the flashlight using the volume buttons, FlashDim utilizes an accessibility service. This service is able to read key events and respond to the click of the volume buttons. However, the app does not access any other data or information on the device. Users can verify this by accessing the app's source code on GitHub.
The app also features a visually appealing design, with icons created by Pictogrammers such as the information-slab-circle-outline by Jeff Anders, the vibrate icon by Google, and the rocket-launch-outline by Michael Irigoyen. The app's design is not only modern and aesthetically pleasing, but also functional and easy to use.
Overall, this app offers a convenient and customizable way for users to control the brightness of their flashlight. With its various features and focus on privacy and user experience, it is a valuable addition to the open source community. Users can access the app on GitHub at https://github.com/cyb3rko/flashdim.
