Hey everyone! 👋
I’m excited to share my latest Connect IQ app – Brighty, a simple yet powerful flashlight app for Garmin watches.
It turns your watch screen into a bright, customizable light source — especially useful for devices without a built-in LED flashlight.
💡 Why Brighty?
Many Garmin models don’t include an LED flashlight, and I often found myself using the backlight as a quick workaround.
So I decided to build something better — an app that’s fast, reliable, and works across a wide range of devices.
That’s how Brighty was born.

⌚ How to Use Brighty
1. Install the app from the Garmin Connect IQ Store
2. Open Brighty from your watch’s Apps menu

Simple, intuitive, and ready on your wrist.
