The Bright Side of Dark Mode

29 April 2025

Ever thought that one simple change could make a huge difference? Switching to dark mode on your phone could be that game-changer.

We’re introducing dark mode within the Algbra app, and it’s not just about looking cool (if we do say so ourselves), it’s about saving time, money, your health and even the planet.

Protect Your Phone and the Planet

By switching to dark mode, you’re reducing the number of times you need to charge your phone. Fewer charges mean your battery stays healthier for longer. And with battery issues being the top complaint among smartphone users, anything that helps your battery last longer is a win. Plus, longer battery life means less dead batteries polluting the planet with harmful chemicals. In 2022 alone, it’s estimated that 5.3 billion of the 16 billion phones worldwide were thrown away. Let’s cut down on that waste.

Did you know that using dark mode can save up to 47% battery power? That’s nearly doubling your phone’s battery life and cutting your energy usage in half. This is especially true for phones with OLED screens, which now make up almost half the market, but other screen types see benefits too.

Be Kinder to Your Eyes and Sleep Better

Not only can switching to dark mode reduce the strain on your battery life, energy bills and the planet, but it can also reduce the strain on your eyes too, especially in low-light conditions. It also reduces blue light emissions, which can mess with your melatonin levels, and disrupt your much needed sleep. Better sleep equals better health.

So what’s stopping you.. Join the dark side with Algbra’s newly introduced dark mode. Your eyes, wallet and the planet will thank you.
