Choose dark or light

I want to …

… run Zeitlicht on a dark or a bright field.

Before you start

  • Dark is the default. Nothing changes until you switch.
  • The choice belongs to this device, not to your account or a workspace.
  • Both appearances are free and available in every role.

Here's how

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Scroll to Appearance. Language sits under it, then Help and guides.
  3. The rows are Dark and Light. The active one carries a check mark, the other one shows a small preview.
  4. Tap a row. The whole app switches over immediately.

The result

Board, task detail, timer, notes, and settings all use the chosen appearance. Zeitlicht comes back in it the next time you open the app on this device.

Common questions

Can I pick it while signing up?

Yes. The sign-up form shows Dark and Light, also when you sign up through an invitation to a workspace or a plan. The app switches right away. Later you change it here in settings.

Does the light mode change the colors of my avatar?

No. Avatars keep their colors so a person looks the same to everyone.

Does my choice reach my teammates?

No. Everyone picks their own appearance.

Why is the light mode less glowy?

The light column has no halo in light mode. Halos around focus frames and hovered cards stay toned down on a bright field, so a strong glow does not turn into haze.

I use several devices. Why is the choice not synced?

It is stored on the device, so you can keep a dark laptop and a bright phone.
