# Appearance and display settings

> How to switch between Light, Dark, and System appearance modes, and how to pick metric or imperial units.

You can customize how MoveTogether looks and which units it uses for activity data.

## Appearance: Light, Dark, or System

Go to **Settings → Appearance**. Pick one of three:

* **System** — follows your iPhone's light/dark mode automatically
* **Light** — always light mode, regardless of iPhone setting
* **Dark** — always dark mode, regardless of iPhone setting

Each option shows a preview card with a stylized version of the app in that mode. Tap to select. Your choice is saved across app launches.

A subtle haptic confirms your selection.

## Units of measurement

Go to **Settings → Customization → Units**. Pick one of two:

* **Metric** — kilometers, kilograms, centimeters
* **Imperial** — miles, pounds, feet and inches

This affects how distance, weight, and height are displayed throughout the app.

**Steps and minutes are unitless** — they don't change based on this setting.

The default matches your iPhone's region settings. You can override it at any time.

## Where appearance settings don't reach

A few things follow your iPhone settings regardless of MoveTogether's appearance choice:

* **System icons and accessibility text size** (Dynamic Type) — set in iPhone Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size
* **Reduce Motion** — set in iPhone Settings → Accessibility → Motion. MoveTogether respects this and disables animations when it's on.
* **Reduce Transparency, Increase Contrast** — iPhone accessibility settings that affect MoveTogether visuals automatically
