How do I change light or dark appearance?

Posted: 8 June 2026
Author: Chris Winfield-Blum

In the mobile app, open Profile → Settings → Display & navigation, tap Display preferences, then choose Appearance:

  • Auto — follows your device’s light or dark setting.
  • Light — light backgrounds with dark text.
  • Dark — dark backgrounds with light text.

On the same screen, Text contrast offers:

  • Standard — default helper text and borders.
  • High contrast text — darker secondary labels and stronger borders for easier reading. Works with any appearance setting. See What is high contrast text on mobile?

On Sign in and Create account, tap Easier to read (dashed button below the main actions) to turn on large interface, light or dark mode, and high contrast before you log in. Large interface syncs to your account when you sign in; appearance and contrast stay on this device.

On the website, open Settings → Display & preferences and use the same Appearance options. High contrast text is available in the mobile app only for now.

Does appearance sync across devices?

No. Appearance and text contrast are saved on each device (phone, tablet, or browser), the same way as on the web. They do not use your Medication Timer account.

Large interface, timer view, temperature units, and tab layout on Display & navigation do sync to your account when you are signed in.
