Hi team, while the status of this idea remains unchanged from our last post we did want to provide an update in the channel here.

As shared previously there's the possibility of exploring third-party apps like Google's High Contrast, which allows you to change the colour on your screen so it's easier to read.

Our Xero Accounting app is a bit of a different kettle of fish and for iOS users there is a dark mode available from the 'Appearance' option that you can navigate to from the 3 dot menu in the top right of the app screen.

Though we fully understand and appreciate needs for wanting dark mode, the ability to develop this requires resource from across all areas of product to implement in the web version. Providing dark mode is not on our current roadmap.

If there are any further changes to share we will provide further updates to you on this thread.

    I've got a client who wouldn't move to Xero unless it has dark mode

    My eyes! We've just implemeneted this.. isn't too hard

    Its killing my eyes going from other apps in dark to blinded by zero. Please make available.

    xero could not care less about dark mode. if you look at other product ideas this has been requested since 2019 and hasn't even been acknowledged by xero.

    seriously mind boggling an app that is otherwise so progressive in terms of modern web design is this reluctant to add something they support on their mobile app already for god's sake.

    Would be awesome and standard practise for apps these days

  • Sam Cooney commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just makes sense. Why hasn't it been implemented?

  • Declan Flitcroft commented  ·   ·  Report

    pretty universal feature for modern web apps, what are you guys even doing

  • Anthony Lack commented  ·   ·  Report

    A strong vote for a DARK MODE option. Dark mode is so much easier on the eyes for us who are staring at a screen all day.
