Raken's mobile app supports dark mode — so you can capture field data in a display style that's easier on your eyes at night or in low-light conditions, and may help extend your device's battery life.

To enable dark mode, open the Raken mobile app, tap More, then tap Appearance. Select Dark, or choose Match system settings to automatically follow your device's display preference.

Quick Project Access
The Raken mobile app opens directly to your most recently active project, so you can get to your field tools without scrolling through a project list. This is especially useful for crews that work on the same project every day.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Dark mode isn't applying — what do I do?
If you selected Match system settings but Raken isn't in dark mode, check that dark mode is enabled in your device settings. If you selected Dark directly and it's not working, force-close the app and reopen it.
Is dark mode available on the web app?
No. Dark mode is a mobile app feature only. The Raken web app uses a fixed light theme.
