Perfect Cocktails, Now in Perfect Lighting

We’re excited to announce MixMath v1.1 is now available on the App Store! While this might seem like a small update on the surface, we think you’re going to love what we’ve added.

Dark Mode: More Than Just Looks

The star of v1.1 is full dark mode support throughout the entire app. But this isn’t just about following design trends—it’s about making MixMath work better in real cocktail-making scenarios. Think about it: when are you most likely to be scaling cocktail recipes?

  • Evening dinner parties with dimmed lighting
  • Late-night gatherings where bright screens feel harsh
  • Outdoor events where screen glare makes reading difficult
  • Bar setups in restaurants and venues with ambient lighting

Dark mode transforms MixMath from a daytime planning tool into something that actually works while you’re mixing. No more squinting at bright white screens when you’re trying to remember whether you need 2.5 cups or 3 cups of bourbon for your party.

The Details That Matter

We didn’t just flip a switch and call it dark mode. Every element was carefully redesigned:

Precision Blue Palette in Dark

  • Our signature deep blue becomes a lighter, more vibrant accent
  • Coral highlights stay warm and inviting against dark backgrounds
  • Text remains crisp and readable with carefully tuned contrast ratios
  • Measurements and calculations pop with improved legibility

Enhanced Number Readability

  • Monospace fonts shine even brighter in dark mode
  • Decimal alignment stays perfect across all serving sizes
  • Color-coded scaling (original vs. scaled amounts) is more distinct

Seamless Switching

  • Respects your system preference automatically
  • Manual toggle available in settings for those who want control
  • Smooth transitions that don’t disrupt your flow

Why This Update Matters

Since launching MixMath, we’ve heard from users who love the precise scaling but wanted to use it in actual party environments. Bright screens at dinner parties felt intrusive. Outdoor events meant fighting screen glare. Bar setups needed something more subtle.

v1.1 makes MixMath a true companion for the entire cocktail journey - from daytime planning to late-night execution.
