Kitchen Timer
1 press: 3 minute timer. Ever want to make the perfect poached egg? 3 minutes, done. Tired of bitter tea? Set a timer for 3 minutes so you don't over-steep. Ever put something back in the oven, *just for a few more minutes*, and come back to the oven 20 minutes later only because it was billowing smoke and your fire alarm was going off (yeah... Me neither...). Subsequent single presses will keep add additional minutes
Double Press: Start 10 minute timer / Add 10 minutes. Perfect home made cookies, every time. Also, it happens to be the average time…

It would be nice if IKEA's Trådfri wireless control outlets could be added to the Trådfri feature in Flic

for old people to press the flic to activate the inbuilt sos message feature in iphone and android
currently you can triple click your power button on your android phone to send an sos message to programmed contacts with your location. Can you programme the flic so old people can push the flic once to send the sos message?
6 votesHi! This is currently working in the Flic app. It’s called “Send Location Text”. Check it out and let us know what you think! :)

Page turner for ForScore and Newzik for conductors.
I feel you could easily increase your sales with this addition to compatible applications. More and more musicians are using iPad Pros to read music from and conduct. The problem for conductors is the multiple page turns. The Flic is small enough to put in the palm of a conductors baton hand so you wouldn't need to turn pages by touching the screen. The two competitive applocations right now on the iPad are Newzik and ForScore.
2 votesforScore, Newzik and Setlists added to the iOs app! Thank you for posting this idea.

IKEA Trådfri functionality
Would be cool if functionality for IKEA's smart lightning system Trådfri could be developed for Flic.
12 votesIKEA Trådfri is now available in the iOS App, the Android App and the Mac App! It will also be available in the soon-to-be-released Flic Hub. Sign up at hub.flic.io to get it at discounted pre-order prices.

Lifx control using the LAN API (no internet)
At the moment the Lifx bulb control (on Android at least) is done using the HTTP API. That means that Flic is connected to the Lifx cloud account and the actions look like this:
Flic->Android app----->Lifx cloud----->Bulbs
The problem with that is that the delay after pressing the Flic is considerate and, worst of all, if the router loses conection to internet while still being powered up and offering WiFi then the button becomes useless.
It would be great if the Lifx actions supported the LAN API as specified here: https://lan.developer.lifx.com/docs/introduction
That way the bulbs can be controlled via WiFi…

Dead man switch functionality
Record video while holding flic.
Mute volume/pause music while flic is pressed.
Stopwatch while flic is pressed.
So on and so forth...1 voteDead man’s Switch is available in the Android app, but unfortunately impossible to implement on iOS because of Apple restrictions.

shortcut
To be able to add a shortcut of a programmed action on the mobile desktop.
In case I dont have access to my button, easily open the phone and tap on a shortcut action that emulate a touch of the button.
2 votesHi,
This can already be achieved with “Tasks” in the app. Add a task and it will be accessible from the notification centre. You can also assign a Flic button to operate the same task.

Flic station/hub connected to the flics
Offer a station/hub/bridge for flics that is connected via bluetooth to the buttons and to the services the flics would do connected to the phone. The hub should use the settings set on your phone app.
So you do not have to have your phone near the flics to make the actions work.

Dead man's switch: Perform an action when flic is NOT clicked
Use Flic to say that everything is OK and have Flic perform an action if it's not.
Send a warning if you forgot to take your pills, notify your personal trainer if you're slacking off or publish your secret wikileaks data if kidnapped by evilcorp.
The possibilities are endless.
34 votesThis can be done on Android, but iOS would not let us do that.

A bridge to connect flic to the web/cloud
Somethings like the bridge of lockitron (http://help.lockitron.com/article/100-how-does-bridge-work):
flic -> bridge -> web/cloudso you don't need to have the phone with you.
55 votesThe Flic Hub can now be pre-ordered and works just like this. It’s a bridge to connect up to 64 Flic buttons to WiFi.

Raspberry PI integration
I would be really glad if it was possible to let my Raspberry pi connect to the Flic-button instead of my phone.
In that way the automation would work even if I am not at home.268 votesSoft launch of our Linux SDK today!! Please have a look at the lib and comment at Github.

Click once - more actions at once
More than one action for "one click" - e.i. Click once - "turn on hue" AND "turn on Sonos" AND "use harmony hub and shut of TV"

Desktop App
Multiplatform Flic apps for: Windows 10, Mac OS X, tvOS, Roku, etc... This would allow the Flic buttons to be a permant fixture in a home automation workflow without relying on a single user's mobile device.
Most desktop machines have bluetooth making this a software add-on rather than a hardware limitation.
22 votesWe now have a Mac App! Read more about it at https://flic.io/mac-app/ or join the discussion on Product Hunt! – https://www.producthunt.com.
If we see a good response for the Mac App we will consider developing for PC as well.

Connection with the Spotify app instead of playing music in the Flic app
Now, when you open Spotify and listen to your music and press on a Flic to skip to the next song, it will open the Flic app and plays your music from there while the song in the Spotify is also still playing...
