Flashlight Video Camera
Free on the App Store
Keep recording when the light changes.
Turn the flashlight on or off with one tap from the main camera screen — even while recording. No menus, no rendering, no waiting.
Five flashlight-assisted saved videos free. $3.99 Lifetime Unlock for unlimited use. No subscription.
Light exactly when you need it
A camera made for the moment the room gets dark.
Start recording, then turn the flashlight on or off at any time without stopping. The finished video saves directly to Photos — no editing, rendering, or waiting step.
Control the flashlight while recording.
The flashlight control stays on the main camera screen, so you can add or remove light with one tap without interrupting the video.
Save the finished video directly to Photos.
Record once and save directly to your Photos library. There is no separate rendering or processing workflow to wait through.
A focused camera, not another editing app.
Use tap-to-focus, microphone audio, and rear-camera lens selection on supported iPhones. The flashlight turns off automatically when recording ends.
