Benefits of Dark Mode ​

But it is not just dry and painful eyes we get from looking at bright blue screens all day long. Exposure to light also suppresses the secretion of melatonin, a hormone needed for sleep. That is also the reason why many of our car dashboards are now blue – to keep us up and alert.​

Most of us use our mobile devices throughout the entire day and night. According to Nielsen research group In 2018 Q1, we spent more than 11 hours per day on our devices. It’s not surprising why many of us deal with eyes that feel — dry or itchy, and is sometimes accompanied by insomnia, headaches, or neck pain. And even worse, lower melatonin levels have been linked to an increased risk of obesity and some cancers.​

Let’s be honest, dark mode just looks super amazing. While most products are going for that similar bland white look, the dark mode does offer something different that feels mysterious and new. It also provides great opportunities for presenting graphic content such as graphs, dashboards, pictures, and photos. ​

​

Even at maximum brightness, a dark mode interface would be harder to make out than a light one. ​

However, not everything about dark backgrounds is good. For example, when you are using a device in a well-lit room or in direct sunlight, text positioned on dark backgrounds can be difficult to read. So the only reason not to implement a dark mode is when you’re certain your app is exclusively being used during bright daylight, but this is rather exceptional.

This is why an automatic switch from sunset until sunrise is a must-have feature. Users don’t even have to keep switching several times a day, which is truly great usability.
