Built for emergencies

SOS Flash does one thing: it flashes the internationally recognized distress signal, three short, three long, three short (... --- ...), until you stop it.

One Action

Hold to Start

Press and hold the SOS button for 2 seconds and the beacon starts immediately. The hold prevents accidental starts in a pocket or bag.

Standard Signal

Morse Code SOS

Consistent, standard SOS timing with a clear pause between repeats, so anyone watching can tell where each signal starts.

Hands Free

Screen Stays Awake

While SOS is active the screen stays on by itself, so you can set the phone down and keep signaling without touching it.

Offline

No Signal Needed

Works with no Wi-Fi or cellular signal, exactly where emergencies tend to happen: trails, campsites, the water, or a dark roadside.

Easy to Use

Clear Under Stress

Large buttons, high-contrast screens, and a single STOP button that turns the flashlight off instantly.

Never Left On

Stops When Closed

SOS stops when you lock the phone or leave the app, so the flashlight is never left running by accident and draining your battery.

Private by design

SOS Flash collects no data. There's no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking, and the app doesn't even ask for camera permission. It only switches your flashlight on and off.

SOS Flash does not replace contacting emergency services. Whenever you can, call your local emergency number.
