Dark mode lightens the burden on my eyes, kind of like a dark room is better for a headache. Though there is no conclusive evidence on whether it’s actually better for your eyes, I find using dark mode decreases eye strain and can also extend your battery life. 

How to make Mac dark mode

Step 1: Go to System Preferences

From the Apple menu at the top left of your screen on your Mac, select System Preferences. 

Step 2: Click General

On the window for your system preferences, select General. 

Step 3: Click Dark

General settings include appearance, scroll bar settings, default browser, and more, so if you’ve never explored these settings, now’s a good time to customize your Mac. When you click on Dark, your Mac’s buttons, menus, and windows will take on a darker appearance. If you choose Auto, your Mac will stay on Light mode and gradually transition to Dark throughout the day.   Also read: Using your iPhone in high temperatures can cause permanent damage
