We are constantly spending more time in front of screens, and it affects our eyes negatively. One of the means to protect your eyes is to enable dark mode whenever possible. For example, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit offer built-in dark mode for their websites and mobile apps.
Besides the dark mode, you remove the blue light by enabling Night Shift (macOS and iOS) and Night Light (Windows). Although you can remove the blue light emitted by the screen, Google Calendar does not offer dark UI, which will take some toll on your eyes. Switching to Apple Calendar (it has an awesome dark theme) is often not an option due to its availability and, more importantly, due to lack of features.
If you already have enabled the dark mode offered by macOS Mojave and Windows 10, shocking your eyes with a bright white screen might not be so fun.
It simply looks cool. We see a huge spike in people's interest in dark themes, which has already become a norm.
At this point, the only downside that can be observed is if you have used yellow color for a specific calendar. It will be converted to brown (when dark mode is enabled). Everything else looks crisp, clean, and of course, dark. If you're looking to use Google Docs, Google Sheets, or any other Google product in dark mode, Night Eye can enable it.
This is a step by step guide on how to turn on a dark mode for Google Calendar:
There are many customization options such as a blue light filter, contrast filter, brightness filter, color-changing feature, and schedule dark mode for those who only want dark mode enabled during night hours. For most people, the default settings are satisfactory enough, so don’t bother with them at the beginning. Night Eye will automatically enable dark mode on every website you visit.
Sadly, but no. Night Eye is available only for the web version of Google Calendar. For the mobile apps, we hope that Google will implement dark mode throughout their whole range of apps at some point.
