As a user of Aha!, the amount white background I stare at is challenging. I adjust my monitors to reduce glare but it's still a lot. Could we have a dark theme to replace the white background as an option for users?

Dark mode is here
You can now switch to dark mode across Aha! software. Update the theme in your personal settings and enjoy a whole new look.

Much appreciated ⭐. Font colour contrast could be a tad higher against the dark background. The dark mode work well and helps to rest the eyes. No later than yesterday morning I was struggling with the bright whiteness of Aha! Notes in an office environment that had bright light shining from multiple sources, until I could not see straight.
It seems that now it is implemented.... Kudos :)
Still on track for delivery by end of year? Looking forward to it!
This is the status update we've all been waiting years for 👏🥳
Any news on this? We've recently implemented the roadmap tool and I find it almost unusable, it's definitely impacting adoption.
This request goes back 6 years! Where is dark mode?
Wondering why you created a dark mode for your developer app first. Roadmaps is your flagship product and we've been asking for this for years.
Up voting dark mode and commenting. I prefer dark mode for any application/program I use. Its usually the first thing I look for when evaluating a product.
Looking at this glaring white screen in Aha Roadmaps all day every day is damaging to my eyes. It causes a great deal of eye strain for persons with and without existing eye conditions, even with the blue light night filter turned on all day.
For a product of this magnitude to not permit a user preference for Dark Mode is a major miss for csat and usability. Doesn't Aha have a UI/UX department?
Posting a comment since the last was over a year ago. I'm confident that many more want this than have voted.
Im using a chrome extension called Dark Reader and it works well for dark mode
For all of the reasons previously stated, this feature is a must. I don't understand why it was only implemented for Aha Develop. A dark mode option is quickly becoming a standard, and Aha needs to get on the bandwagon!
Sorry for the out-of-date admin message. We just removed it. We are continuing to monitor feedback here and will keep this idea updated as progress is made.
"we hope you can understand" - Dark mode is an accessibility feature... so no, that's not very understandable.
Do we know by when Dark theme will be available to all.
I was trying to switch to "Dark theme" - Settings--->Personal-->Profile
but doesn't work as it says
"This theme will only apply when you are in an Aha! Develop team." !!
I really really need dark theme to work as white screen strains my eyes. it should be free for all by default.
Yes, please
Thank you Jeff for explaining. A dark(er) experience is indeed important. This is mostly because screens are becoming bigger, and the white stands out more. As (almost) application I use has been adapted by now, most of them quite some time ago, the few ones that haven't stand out even more. I have to change my display settings when I use Aha!, because of the contrast.
Hi @Jean-Marc,
I apologize – I mistakenly updated the status of this feature to shipped. Thank you for sharing how important this feature is to you! We are continuing to listen to feedback on this topic.
Yesterday I received two e-mails about this idea. The first one said that the status had changed to "Shipped". The second one said that the status had changed to "Future consideration". I hope the first e-mail is right but I'm afraid the second e-mail is right. Having a dark option is one of the few things missing for me in Aha!.
Since this idea was posted 3 years ago, dark mode across native and web apps have very much become a common thing, and many frameworks make its implementation much easier than before.
I don't think the ability to create themes for the UI is required, I agree that is overkill. However, being able to switch between "Light", "Dark", and "Auto" would align Aha with the current UX and accessibility trends embraced by many leading SaaS tools today.
