Abstract—The increasing adoption of dark mode in user interfaces has sparked interest in its impact on user experience. This study aims to quantitatively measure the effects of dark mode on user productivity and overall experience within a productivity-oriented app. An A/B testing methodology is employed, where participants are randomly assigned to use either a dark mode or light mode version of the app. Quantitative measurements, such as task completion time and the user feedback, are collected and analysed. The study seeks to answer whether dark mode significantly enhances or detracts from user productivity and overall experience. The findings of this study will provide valuable insights for designers and developers in optimising their interfaces and contribute to the body of knowledge on the impact of dark mode on user experience.
Keywords—dark mode, user experience, user satisfaction, productivity oriented applications, interface design, usability
