← Notes from Wriggler

When the numbers are too much

A bright screen can feel like a lot during a night feed. Wriggler's free warm dark mode changes the colours around your records, so you can log the moment and put the phone down.

There is a version of the home screen that is exactly what you want at 9am. Feeds counted, sleep totalled, nappies tallied. In daylight, with coffee, a picture of the day can be useful.

At 3am you may want a much shorter visit. The baby has started feeding, one hand is occupied, and you want to record the time before you forget it. The screen only needs to help with that moment.

Warm colours for the dark

Wriggler's warm dark mode uses a dark brown background, soft cream text and warm accents. The records and controls are still there; the colours change around them. It is available with the free tracker.

You can choose a light or dark appearance, or let Wriggler follow your device's setting. There is no separate Calm mode in the current app. We retired that setting in September and kept the two themes.

That distinction matters if you read the first version of this note. Dark mode changes the appearance of the screen. It does not hide counts, remove records or select which information you should see.

A short visit is enough

You do not need to inspect a whole day every time you open the app. Sometimes the useful thing is simply to start the sleep timer or log the feed, then put the phone down.

The record will still be there when you want to look back. For now, a readable screen and a familiar button can be all you need from it.
