Flash Alert (Calls & SMS) vs Peace of Mind+
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Flash Alert (Calls & SMS)
Flash Alert turns your camera flash into a powerful visual indicator whenever you receive a call, SMS/MMS, or notification from another app (WhatsApp, social media, etc.). Key Features: - Customizable flash alerts for calls, messages, and apps. - Contact filtering: enable the flash only for your contacts. - Battery-saver mode: smart deactivation if the phone is face down or if the screen is already on. - Night mode and "Do Not Disturb" override options. - Ambient noise detection (for compatible Android versions). A lightweight app, privacy-friendly, and completely ad-free.
Peace of Mind+
We become more conscious of our phones as our lives become increasingly connected. Would you like to disconnect, if only for a moment? Your phone will go silent and disconnect from the world: no e-mail, no status updates, no SMS and no phone calls. Choose how long you wish to disconnect (up to 12 hours). Originally developed by Kwame Corporation for Fairphone 1, Peace of Mind+ aims simply to bring this beautiful app to other devices, and for future Fairphone-owners patiently waiting to receive their phone! App works without root, but from Android 4.2+ root access is needed to switch to flight mode. Without root access the app will switch the phone to silent mode only.
