How to enable dark mode in Bluesky

Many users prefer dark mode because it is more comfortable for reading and viewing on screens. The Bluesky app offers this option for both smartphones and computer browsers.

Dark mode has become popular because it saves battery life on OLED/AMOLED screens and reduces eye fatigue in low-light environments. It also improves visual comfort, provides a more pleasing aesthetic, and reduces the impact of blue light, helping to minimize interference with sleep. For these reasons, it is a common choice for many users.
