HyperWhisper lets you choose your preferred color scheme — light, dark, or system default — on Windows and iOS. The macOS app follows your system appearance automatically and does not have a dedicated appearance setting.

​
Opening Appearance Settings

Go to Settings → Appearance.You’ll see a Theme card with three options:

​
Changing the theme

Select the radio button next to your preferred option. A dialog titled Restart Required appears:
The application needs to restart for the theme change to take effect. Do you want to restart now?
  • Choose Yes to save the selection and restart immediately.
  • Choose No to cancel — your previous theme is restored and nothing is saved.
A restart is required by design. HyperWhisper prompts you to restart when you change the theme rather than applying it on the fly — if you choose No, your previous theme is kept and nothing is saved.

​
Where the setting is saved

Your theme choice is stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\HyperWhisper\settings.json and persists across updates and restarts.
