Shady Notes comes with sixteen themes: eleven dark and five light. They include Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night, Rosé Pine, Solarized and four Catppuccin flavours. You can switch between them without opening a settings window.
Open the quick picker
Press ⌘⌥T. A list of themes appears. Hover over a theme and the shade previews it straight away, so you can compare a few before you choose. Pick one to keep it.
Choosing one
A few things to try:
- Match your editor. If you use Nord, Dracula or a Catppuccin flavour in your code editor, use the same one here and the shade feels like part of the same desk.
- Light for daytime. Solarized Light, Catppuccin Latte and Gruvbox Light are easier to read in a bright room.
- Dark for evenings. Tokyo Night and Rosé Pine are low-contrast and quiet.
Which themes are free
The Free tier includes three themes: Dark, Light and Nord. Every other theme is part of the Personal and Supporter plans. During the 14-day trial on first launch, all sixteen are unlocked, so you can try them all before deciding. Plans and prices are on the pricing page.
