Our design research specifically focused on these contexts where people would want to use Dark Mode, and the response was very positive. While some Dark Mode experiences can be neon or overly bright, people felt that Jifflenow mobile app kept the kind of relaxed feeling you might want in a dimly lit environment. They described the experience as comfortable, crisp, clear, and aesthetically pleasing, a nod to how Dark Mode can reduce eye strain.
