Why Aventide has a Circadian mode

Working late is part of the job

When you run a client business, the day doesn’t end when the clients go home. Proposals get finished after dinner. Invoices go out at 10pm. We know we shouldn’t, and most of us do it anyway.

Where the idea came from

My wife is passionate about circadian biology, and for years she has been telling me what bright screens do to a late evening. I design software for a living, so the question eventually got hard to ignore: if I’m going to be in here at 11pm anyway, why does the app look like noon?

What is Aventide’s Circadian mode?

Circadian mode is one of three appearances in Aventide, our AI client management software for every business you run: Light, Dark and Circadian. It is a dark theme in warm ambers and browns instead of cool grays and blues. Photos and video are dimmed a little, and motion is calmer. It is meant for the late hours.

What it is for

It isn’t a medical feature, and we aren’t promising better sleep. It is an interface that is easier on your eyes when you’re working late. If you’d rather not work late at all, we’d like that too. It’s part of why Aventide starts your day with a brief… rather than ending your day with a brief.
