    SAAB.one APP — Griffin Torch, the flashlight with a griffin on the button

    Hello everyone,

    Every Saab owner knows the moment. It's dark, you're lying under the car or leaning into the engine bay, and the 10 mm socket you just dropped has vanished somewhere between the subframe and eternity. You reach for your phone, fumble for the flashlight, and the light points at your own face.

    So we made our own flashlight. With a griffin on it.

    Meet Griffin Torch

    Griffin Torch is a free Android app from the SAAB.one community. One tap on the griffin turns the light on, and the crown lights up with it. Tap again and it's off. Simple enough to use half-asleep at 3 a.m., without your glasses.

    Yes, your phone already has a flashlight. Ours just has a few more tricks.

    What's under the bonnet

    LED flash with brightness control On phones with Android 13 or newer that support it, you set the exact brightness with a slider: dim for reading a VIN plate, full power for the back of the garage.

    ⚡ Strobe and SOS Strobe from 1 to 15 flashes per second, plus a proper SOS signal. Useful on a dark roadside while you wait for help. (Strobe light can be dangerous for people with photosensitive epilepsy, so the app warns about it.)

    Screen light in any color No LED? Low battery? Or you just want something softer? Turn the whole screen into a light panel: ten preset colors, a smooth color slider and separate screen brightness. Red light keeps your night vision, warm white is easy on the eyes.

    Always one tap away

    Home screen widget with the griffin
    Quick Settings tile next to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
    Turn on / Turn off buttons right in the notification shade, also on the lock screen
    Optional: light comes on as soon as you open the app

    Looks after your battery Auto turn-off after 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes. And if the system blocks the flash because the battery is low, Griffin Torch switches to screen light, so you're never left in the dark.

    21 languages English, Swedish, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Hindi and Indonesian. It picks your phone's language automatically.

    What it doesn't do (and never will)

    No ads. Not one.
    No internet access. The app can't send anything anywhere even if it wanted to.
    No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.
    No camera, microphone, location, contacts or file access.
    It's free. No "Pro" version, no subscriptions.

    It's a flashlight. It just shines.

    • something doesn't work on your phone (please add your phone model and Android version),
    • a translation in your language sounds odd,
    • you have an idea for the next version.
    And if you like it, a short review on Google Play helps other Saab people find it.

    Keep your griffin shining!
