Lumen

The iPhone flashlight that feels music.

What is Lumen?

Lumen drives the iPhone torch like an instrument — smooth brightness from a candle flicker to a party strobe, synced to the music around you. Free, no ads, no accounts, and it never touches the network.

Common questions

The torch dimmed or turned off by itself

That's iOS protecting the hardware from heat — at full brightness the LED runs hot. Lumen shows a banner when it happens and recovers automatically. Tip: 50–70% brightness runs far longer and cooler.

Does Lumen record what it hears?

No. In Music Sync the microphone signal is analyzed on your device in real time to find the beat, then discarded instantly. Nothing is recorded, stored, or sent anywhere — the app makes no network requests at all.

Can it sync with Apple Music or Spotify?

Streaming services encrypt their audio (DRM), so no app can analyze those tracks directly. Use Music Sync — it hears whatever is playing out loud, whatever the source.

A safety note on flashing light

Flashing between 3 and 30 times per second can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Lumen warns on first launch and caps all flashing at 20 Hz — please stay mindful of people around you.

Privacy Policy

Effective July 15, 2026

Lumen collects no data. None.

The app has no analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no user accounts, and makes no network connections of any kind.

Microphone. If you enable Music Sync, Lumen asks for microphone access and analyzes the audio signal on your device, in memory, solely to detect musical beats. The audio is never recorded, never stored, and never transmitted. Revoke access anytime in Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone.

Changes. If this policy ever changes, the update will be posted on this page. Questions: support@dobreon.com.
