About

Hold both volume buttons together to switch the camera’s LED flash on or off, giving you a flashlight without searching through menus. Torchie responds with the screen on, from the lock screen, and with the screen off when that option is enabled in Settings. It also works as a standalone torch app, so you can control the light through its own interface instead of using the volume-button shortcut.

The Material Design interface keeps the controls simple and handy, while the small footprint is approximately 1 MB. Torchie is designed for zero battery usage during ordinary operation, with battery use occurring when screen-off activation is enabled. Its operation is fast and reliable, and it is designed to provide the brightest available torch output from the camera LED. This suits quick tasks such as finding your way in a dark room, locating items, or using the phone as an emergency light.

As an Android System Tools utility, Torchie is intended for Android users who want rapid flashlight access through physical buttons or a dedicated app. It requires no root access, framework, or plugin, and it presents no privacy or security issues. Torchie is open-source.
