Torchlight (Privacy Friendly)

Torchlight (Privacy Friendly) is an open-source Android application that uses a smartphone’s camera flash to provide a simple torchlight. It is intended for Android users who need a basic light function from their phone. The application belongs to the System Tools category and is part of the Privacy Friendly Apps group.

The app uses the flash by switching it on or off through the device’s camera control. Its only required permission is CAMERA, which is needed to operate the smartphone’s flash light. It does not require additional permissions such as network, GPS, or telephony access. The application also completely omits advertising.

Its limited permission use makes it suitable for users who want a straightforward torch tool with a small access scope. The open-source license also identifies the software as a project whose source code is available under open-source terms. Its purpose remains focused on providing the torchlight function rather than adding unrelated services.

MirrorNest distributes the official Android build directly from its own storage. Each mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published. In the catalog, the application is therefore presented as an Android System Tools download with its open-source license and privacy-focused permission model.
