Dark mode
under review
Igor Bolotnikov
Ability to switch between dark and light mode is getting more common. It would be great to have that switch in SmartSuite so that people can comfortably work with the product in the nighttime without straining their eyes. Linking the theme to system preferences or even time of the day would be even better.

Jon Darbyshire, any progress on this request. I enjoy using SmartSuite but while building out my solutions, the white screen is hard on my eyes. Also the expanded apps are difficult to see due to the grey background, the fields look whitewashed.

Any progress on this? Dark mode is a major deciding factor for me.

Please implement this soon! I noticed this is a request from 2 years ago. All the white from SmartSuite is hard on the eyes when looking at it all day. Coming from ClickUp which I used in Dark Mode exclusively, it makes me sad I can't put SmartSuite in Dark Mode as well.

Ability to switch to Dark Mode. It's more common on all devices and it help with your eyes when you work on the computer all day.
Jon Darbyshire
Hey Jennifer Morales, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you specify which parts of the application you use most frequently that you'd like to see in Dark Mode?
- Are there any specific elements or features that you think should have a different appearance in Dark Mode?
- Do you have any preferences for how the Dark Mode toggle should be implemented or where it should be located within the application?

Jon Darbyshire I might not be who you replied to, but as someone who upon opening any software for the first time immediately looks for the dark mode option I can maybe help here.
You seem to be under the impression that dark mode users would like to occasionally switch to a black screen to view certain items. In reality, we do not like the glaring bright white background burning into our eyeballs ever. My word processor is in dark mode, my email is in dark mode, I even created a spreadsheet template with black cells and white font because I just cannot bear to look at white pages. I'm sure this page I'm commenting on is white, but I have installed a browser extension that turns any page I view into dark mode.
I was on the verge of signing up for a paid account (the Gantt chart functionality sold me instantly) but since there is no dark mode available, I am reconsidering my options. Somewhat luckily for your company, Airtable also does not have dark mode so I am back to square one. I seriously hope this gets implemented, as I am not willing to go back to a life of ocular migraines for your product.

Riley Novich I am also not the person referred to, but yes. All of this. The white is very, very hard on a lot of people's eyes/brains and it limits how long we can use the product comfortably.

Luci G I saw your other comment about finding an alternative, have you found a similar tool with dark mode yet?
Luci G
Has anyone found a dark mode plugin that doesn't frequently crash the site yet? I have tried every one I can find. They either don't work or they will crash the site.

This has been under review for a looooonggg time. Unfortunately aesthetics to matter and when almost all competitors have this, it is now something that is expected rather than nice to have...
I am looking to transition people from Trello and the users for Trello use it because of the greater level of visual, including dark mode and things like Kanban board backgrounds, card covers etc...

Mike Day Honestly, we are in the same boat... but are thinking about leaving SmartSuite to a company that has dark mode. Two of us are neurospicy and it gives us frequent headaches which - of course - gets in the way of productivity. Have tried some of the Chrome extensions as a fix, but couldn't get it to work very well (some things wouldn't change... which would just screw everything up).
ZhiYuan Chen
why would this request be taking so long to implement? Could you share with us your difficulties or its just not a high priority for you? It will make working a lot easier and my eyes can last longer.....

Come on now. Dark mode should already be here.

Well over a year later and still under review? Can we get an update on this please?
We need a native dark mode for web SmartSuite because a lot of extensions seem to crash or freeze it and I've lost work this way.
I also get migraines so everything else is already in dark mode for me, could really use this on SmartSuite web asap to help with the issue, thanks!
