Everyone gets a choice

Dark for you. Light for Sandra in Marketing.

Each team member sets their own preference independently. Your dark mode follows you across devices, browsers, and unfortunately scheduled 3am publishing sessions.

  • Preference synced to your account
  • Works across all your devices
  • Override system setting anytime

WCAG compliant

Contrast ratios checked across every view. Not the kind of dark mode where text becomes invisible because we slapped on a bg-black and called it a day.

Every single view

Schema Builder, Record Editor, Media Library, Settings pages. Even the bits you'd forgotten existed until the one time you really needed them.

Plugin-friendly

Theme context exposed via the Plugin SDK. Build your plugins to respect user preferences and they'll slot in seamlessly. No awkward bright islands.
