Squaraine dyes (SQs) are a promising class of organic functional materials with facile synthesis, unique molecular structures, and excellent optoelectronic properties. In article number 2008201, Tae‐il Kim, Zhong'an Li, and co‐workers discuss molecular design principles that allow SQs to be applied in photovoltaic devices and as biosensors, bioimaging, and phototherapy reagents. Moreover, a perspective of the future opportunities and challenges for SQs is also presented.
