How to activate dark mode?

Hello, new user and cannot find dark mode in settings.

Also cannot figure out how to contact support. This forum is the only thing I could see.

Please advise. Thanks!

Hey @baiveur

Thank you for info, appreciate it.

That’s a drag :wink:

Nothing yet? It’s been a year :slight_smile:

Not in our immediate roadmap @bronlund

Well, that’s a no go for me then. Not just because dark mode is more important to me, than all the rest of your features, but also because it begs the question; what kind of developers are willingly turning their backs on a huge percentage of users by not implementing this simple feature.

guys you should really consider it.

I was about to choose nocodb for my current need but I finally went for Airtable literally because it’s the evening and the bright white-only interface hurt my eyes.

@tobal this is in our roadmap & we consider picking up this work item in this quarter.

That’s great news. Looking forward to it.

Please, for the love of god, do this. Who in 2025 prefers lightmode? Your product seems like exactly what I need but no dark mode just gives me the “ugg, hold my nose and just use it” feel rather than the “ohh, this software is f-ing awesome” feel.

As a founder that often works late at night I would love to have dark mode!

We are working on this (not with highest priority, but are making consistent in-roads). Lot of files will get touched and hence we are going touch slow on this. We should have it by end of this quarter (September).

Why are you delaying the dark mode feature? The bright light is really a huge issue in 2025, and my eyes are burning. Even Supabase self-hosted has dark mode, Airtable has it, and many other platforms offer this feature. You should make it the highest priority if you care about your users’ health.

Pleaaaaaaaase! We NEEED this!

Use the Dark Reader extension - click More and then Filter - It works perfectly. It solves the issue for all sites that don’t have Dark Mode as standard.

Have patience. Dark mode is available now in cloud under experimental feature (bottom left user menu > experimental features) and will be made available in next OSS release this month end. Please note this is only in experimental state and not complete. And required a monumental effort so far from our engineer given NocoDB’s vast codebase and canvas nature of UI makes it one of a kind.

And we know it can be disappointing when a feature you’ve been waiting for takes longer than expected. But before we react, let’s reflect: NocoDB community edition is empowering over 24,000 companies — completely free. In a sector of software that often takes, we choose to give. We’re a small team working really hard to deliver what matters most, and sometimes that means prioritizing based on impact and resources. If you’d like to help us move faster, you’re welcome to support us through cloud or a self-hosted license or the least github sponsor.
