Quick Tip: Theme Switching for Daytime vs Nighttime Use

Dark theme at night. Light theme on camera.

manyCalendars supports both light and dark themes. You can switch between them in settings. Most people pick one and never change it, but there is a good reason to switch depending on context.

Use dark theme for evening and nighttime work. If you are reviewing tomorrow's schedule after dinner or doing a Sunday evening planning session, dark theme reduces eye strain significantly. The lower contrast between screen and ambient light means less fatigue, especially if you are working in a dimly lit room.

Use light theme during screen shares. When you share your screen on a client call, a light-themed interface blends in with the standard office tools everyone is used to seeing (Outlook, Google Calendar, Docs). Dark-themed tools stand out visually during screen shares and can look out of place in a professional context. Light theme keeps things looking seamless.

How to switch

Open manyCalendars settings. Look for the theme toggle. Switch between light and dark. The change is instant and applies to the calendar view, sidebar, and all UI elements. No restart needed.

It takes two seconds. Your eyes (and your screen-share audience) will appreciate it. Speaking of things that take seconds to set up, manyCalendars itself installs in about the same time. Give your calendars a unified view and your retinas a break.
