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

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.

Great UI, great features. I have a pixel 8a and it feels like an app that would be built in good job devs! One issue with the new update though, it won't properly size to the hole cutout. Edit: after the update it works great!

I'm using this app on my Pixel 6a, and I get 45 levels of brightness. I love that this app lets me change it, as there's no built in feature. I have it set so that when I open FlashDim, my flash is set to 45/45 and turns off when I close the app. I've used this on my Pixel 4a, but it won't let me change the brightness. I am sure this is due to the hardware, and FlashDim even gives me a warning that my device isn't supported. Thank you for making this open source app.

Love that it's open source! This is going to sound crazy, but when I first installed it the top row of icons wasn't displaying properly and overlapped the notification bar. I could see the info button, but wasn't tappable, and the settings and git buttons weren't visible. After you mentioned settings that should work I installed it again and when I opened it there was a robust set of settings including the ability to set the initial level and toggle with Volume keys. Excellent app, thanks!
