Small Key
=========

## Tagline
Perfect light is a tap away

## Short description
Small Key turns your device's screen into a dimmable, color-adjustable light for video calls, photos, and setting the mood.

## Description
Small Key turns your iPhone or iPad into a portable key light, perfect for lighting your face on a video call, filling in shadows for a photo, or bringing a little warmth to a room.

Drag anywhere on the screen to set the light. Move side to side to choose a color temperature, from a warm candle glow to cool daylight, and up and down to set the brightness. A glowing indicator follows your finger, and the whole screen becomes the light. Small Key sets your device's actual screen brightness, so you get all the light your display can give.

Save your favorite lights as presets, give them names, and sort them by name, date, brightness, or color. Fine-tune any light with sliders, or snap to common settings with one tap: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% brightness, and 1,500K, 3,200K, 5,600K or 10,000K color temperature. Your lights sync through iCloud, so they're ready on all your devices.

When you switch to another app or go to the Home Screen, Small Key puts your screen back to the brightness it had before.

## Key features
- **The whole screen is the light.** Drag to set color temperature (left to right) and brightness (bottom to top) at the same time.
- **Real screen brightness.** On iPhone and iPad, Small Key controls the device's screen brightness directly.
- **Saved presets.** Name your lights, and sort them by name, date, brightness, or color.
- **Quick presets.** One-tap brightness and color temperature settings in Edit Light, alongside precise sliders.
- **Your brightness comes back.** Leaving the app restores your screen's original brightness. You can turn this off in Settings.
- **iCloud sync.** Lights and settings sync across your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro.
- **Built for every Apple platform.** Native on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS, with Settings… (⌘,) in the menu bar on Mac and iPad.
- **Accessible.** Supports Reduce Motion, which hides the indicator's trail.
- **Private by design.** We can't see your lights. Optional, anonymous usage data never includes your light names or anything that identifies you, and you can turn it off in Settings.

## Platforms
- **iPhone and iPad:** the full key light experience.
- **Mac and Apple Vision Pro:** create and manage presets that sync to your iPhone and iPad. These platforms don't allow apps to change screen brightness, so Small Key dims the light within the app instead.

## Who it's for
- People on video calls who want flattering, adjustable light on their face.
- Photographers and creators who need a pocket-sized fill light.
- Anyone who wants a soft, warm light for reading or setting the mood.
