Hello! Pedro here from the Engineering team 👋

We're excited to share that you can now use Hospitable in Dark mode, with a more comfortable and polished experience across the app.

You can choose between:

  • Light
  • Dark
  • System (matches your device automatically)

The theme picker is available in the sidebar profile menu, mobile menu, and Settings → General. Your preference is saved across sessions, and the correct theme loads immediately.

This update includes thoughtful refinements throughout the app, including:

  • Improved tables, forms, and inbox views
  • Better contrast and readability across dark surfaces
  • Smoother overlays, focus states, and loading states
  • Dark-mode-friendly platform icons and mobile navigation
  • Motion settings that respect your OS accessibility preferences

Dark mode is currently available as a Beta feature.

To enable it:

  1. Go to Settings → General
  2. Enable Beta features
  3. Choose your preferred theme under Appearance

     


We’d love to hear your feedback. 💜

There is a 4 hour time difference between me and my properties. This Dark mode is so nice when I need to deal with a guest checking in at 2am!

 Thank you!

Looks good but makes the rule-set colors harder to see.

I love dark mode, thank you so much for doing this! I tried to turn it on, but had to turn it off due to not being able to see the ruleset colors which are super important to me.

Working on the ruleset right now. You're right that the colors are hard to see in dark mode. Fix is on the way!

I really thought “what’s the big deal about Dark Mode” but then I toggled it on and now there’s no going back! 

 

Keep making it 1% better!

@Pedro Montenegro you’ll want to go through the flow of creating a direct booking from the calendar. I had to turn off dark mode because there were dialog boxes showing just a big hunk of white with no text.

Some feedback on Dark Mode:
Dark mode is VERY welcome since the standard display (especially on mobile) gives you a complete white screen which is blinding at night, I would suggest using less brilliant (more subdued colors) especially for the calendar, grey instead of white text, and making the header and footer sections dark as well since that white space is still blinding at night. I have attached screenshots showing this white space in Hospitable vs Pod Addict where they have made this space black instead of white.
Finally, even with dark mode set there is a few-seconds-long startup sequence (reference 2nd screenshot) that blinds you at night with a nearly completely white screen before eventually switching to dark mode.
