Most flashlight apps only give you white light. LIGHTCOLOR gives you a full palette. With one tap, turn your iPhone into a bright full-screen color light. Use it for photography, ambient lighting, reading, signaling, creative projects, testing displays, or simply creating the perfect atmosphere. I built LIGHTCOLOR with a simple philosophy: one app, one purpose, done exceptionally well. No accounts, no ads, no unnecessary features—just a clean, fast, and reliable experience. I love your feedback.

Hi everyone! 👋
I’m Stefano, an independent iOS developer passionate about building simple apps that solve one problem really well.
I created LIGHTCOLOR because I wanted a clean, fast app that instantly turns an iPhone into a full-screen color light—without ads, accounts, or unnecessary features.
Whether you use it for ambient lighting, photography, reading, display testing, or creative projects, my goal was to make the experience as simple and reliable as possible.
This is one of many utility apps I’m building, and I’d really appreciate your feedback. What features would you like to see in future updates?
Thank you for checking out LIGHTCOLOR and supporting indie developers! 🚀

How well does the color hold up at full brightness on an OLED screen, since those tend to dim or shift color when a single solid hue fills the display?

@gnlnvmn The app uses the iPhone’s native display colors without any software processing. On OLED screens, color accuracy and brightness depend on the hardware and Apple’s display management. At maximum brightness, the selected color remains consistent, although, like any OLED display, the device may automatically reduce brightness over time to protect the screen and manage temperature. This behavior is controlled by iOS and is not specific to the app.
For users who prefer to avoid displaying a single static color for extended periods, the app also includes Rainbow and Animated Gradient modes. These continuously change the displayed colors across the screen, keeping the pixels active and providing a dynamic lighting effect instead of a fixed solid color.

A color lock screen widget would be great, so you can drop your favorite hue straight onto the home screen without opening the app each time. Could make setting the mood way faster.

@mesut31176 Great suggestion! A Lock Screen widget is definitely on my roadmap. It would let you launch your favorite color with a single tap, making it much faster to set the mood or use the app as a light source. Thanks for the idea!

The full-screen color is super bright and the picker is really intuitive, way nicer than fiddling with the built-in flashlight. Love that it just opens and works without any sign-in or clutter.

Thank you! That was exactly the goal—an app that opens instantly, with no sign-in, no ads, and no unnecessary steps. I’m glad you found the color picker intuitive and the full-screen mode useful. I really appreciate your feedback!

Love that you kept it focused on one job and resisted the urge to clutter it with extras. The full-screen color approach is way more useful than the usual dim white flashlight trying to do everything.
The full-screen color approach is a smart move over clunky flashlight apps. Love that you kept it focused and ad-free, it just feels nice to use.
