This page is English only for now.
Problems it solves
- I use my phone at night and a bright white screen hurts my eyes.
- I want the app to match my phone, light in the day and dark at night.
- I want an app that looks like mine, not like everyone else's.
What it is
Themes let you change how Lipi looks. Pick a colour palette, choose light, dark or automatic mode, and set how rounded the corners are. Dark mode in the expense tracker is free for everyone. Extra palettes are part of Premium.
What problem it solves
A finance app is something you open many times a day. A dark screen is easier at night, and automatic mode keeps the app in step with your phone. A palette you like makes it a habit you want to keep.
How it works
- Open Settings and choose Appearance.
- Under Theme, tap a palette: Lipi, Ember, Lake, Rhodo or Paper. Every screen follows the choice.
- Under Mode, choose Auto, Light or Dark.
- Under Corners, choose Sharp, Soft or Round.
- Open Feel to set vibration, how the dashboard feels, and the keypad layout.
