Make your phone part of the show.
BeatFlare reads the music in the room and lights up your Nothing Phone’s glyphs in real time. Face it down at the gig and let the back pulse to every beat.
For Nothing Phone (1) through (4a) · Android 14+
How it works
From the air to the LEDs, in milliseconds
No cables, no streaming, no pairing. BeatFlare just listens to the room.
Listen
The microphone picks up the music around you — live and ambient, whatever’s actually playing in the room.
Analyze
Real-time FFT splits the sound into a frequency spectrum and detects the beat, adapting from a quiet room to a festival stage.
Glow
The spectrum maps onto your glyph zones — spectrum bars, bass VU metering, and beat-detection flashes.
Seven Show themes
Pick a mood and let it ride
Every theme keeps gently breathing during quiet passages, so the lights never just go black between songs.

Features
Built for the front row
Listens to the room
Reacts to ambient sound around you — not just audio playing on the phone.
Adaptive volume
Rolling peak normalization scales it from a hushed room to a roaring main stage.
Works screen-off
Runs as a foreground service, so you can lock the phone and save battery while the glyphs keep dancing.
Glyphs, Show, or both
Drive the back LEDs, the front screen, or both at once — Start fires whatever you’ve enabled.
Glyph zones & brightness
Toggle spectrum, bass, and beat zones independently, and tune the overall LED intensity.
Notification control
Start and stop the show straight from the notification — no need to open the app.
Beacon
Lost your group in the crowd? Be the beacon.
Turn your whole screen into one bright light your friends can spot from across a dark festival field.
-
Make it yoursPick a colour, then add an emoji or up to four characters — so they know it’s you waving, not a stranger.
-
React to sound, or hold steadyLet the light pulse with the music, or keep it a calm, constant glow.
-
No mic permission neededWith react-to-sound off, Beacon never even asks for the microphone. Just light.
No Nothing Phone? No problem. Beacon lives entirely on the front screen, so it works on any Android 14+ device.
Devices
Best on a Nothing Phone
BeatFlare lights up the glyph LEDs on every current Nothing Phone — the more LEDs, the richer the spectrum.
No Nothing Phone? Still works.
On any Android 14+ device you get the full-screen Show and Beacon visualizers on the front screen — the glyph LED zones are simply hidden.
Turn the lights up.
