Protects your night vision
A bright screen in a dark room forces your eyes to adjust and readjust. Dark mode minimizes this shock, letting you log a feed and get back to sleep faster without staring at the ceiling waiting for your eyes to recover.
FEATURE
Built for 2 AM
Dark mode gives you a dim, low-contrast interface that won't blast your eyes or light up the nursery during nighttime feeds and changes.
Because the last thing you need at 2 AM is a phone screen bright enough to wake the whole house.
Bright screens and sleeping babies don't mix
You know the feeling: the baby wakes up at 2 AM for a feed. You reach for your phone to log it, and the screen lights up like a flashlight. Your eyes sting. The baby squints. The carefully maintained darkness of the nursery is ruined.
This happens multiple times a night, every night, for months. A dark interface isn't a nice-to-have — it's a necessity for any app you use during overnight care.
Built for the dark.
tinylog's dark mode keeps your screen dim so you can log a 2 AM feed without lighting up the nursery or blinding yourself. Your eyes — and your baby — will thank you.
How dark mode works in tinylog
System-aware theming: Set tinylog to follow your device's appearance setting. When your phone switches to dark mode at night, tinylog switches too — automatically.
Manual override: Prefer dark mode all the time? Set it to always-on in the app. Prefer light mode during the day and dark at night? Let the system setting handle it.
Designed for real darkness: tinylog's dark theme uses true dark backgrounds with carefully chosen contrast ratios. Text and buttons remain readable without being harsh — so you can find the right button at 2 AM without squinting.
Why dark mode matters for parents
Keeps the nursery dark
Light from a phone screen can signal to your baby that it's wake-up time. A dim interface reduces ambient light in the room, helping maintain the sleep environment you've worked so hard to create.
Reduces eye strain over time
You're using this app multiple times a day, every day, for months. A comfortable interface isn't a luxury — it's ergonomics. Dark mode reduces the cumulative strain of frequent screen checks.
Try it tonight.
