Dark Mode for Every Learning Platform
Guides for each platform below — perfect for students studying after dark.
Why Students Need Dark Mode
Studying often happens at night — exactly when bright screens are hardest on your eyes and most disruptive to sleep. Most learning platforms like Google Classroom and Canvas have no dark mode at all, leaving students staring at white pages for hours.
Better Focus for Long Study Sessions
Dark mode reduces glare and makes long reading sessions more comfortable. With Turn Off the Lights you can schedule it to turn on automatically in the evening — one less thing to think about during exam season.
Open Source, Private, and Free — Always
