Latarka

Toggle flashlight with a shake gesture
A native Android application to toggle the device's flashlight using a shake gesture,
mimicking the classic Motorola "chop-chop" feature.

Features:
* Gesture Control: Toggle the flashlight on/off by shaking the phone (Motorola-style chop-chop gesture).
* Background Service: Runs efficiently in the background via a dedicated foreground Android Service.
* F-Droid Ready: Strictly respects user privacy—contains zero trackers, zero analytics, and zero advertisements.
