About:
Dynamic Dark Mode is a macOS utility that automatically switches your system's appearance between light and dark modes based on ambient light conditions or a custom schedule. It uses the ambient light sensor on supported MacBooks or a user-defined time schedule to trigger the change, eliminating the need for manual toggling. Its main value is providing a seamless, automated dark mode experience that reduces eye strain and integrates with your environment.
Key Features:
  • Automatic switching via ambient light sensor
  • Custom time-based scheduling
  • Menu bar control for manual override
  • Open-source and built with Swift
  • Lightweight background operation
Use Cases:
  • Automating dark mode for reduced eye strain during evening work
  • Syncing system appearance with ambient lighting conditions for comfort
Alternatives:
  • NightOwl – Similar scheduling but lacks ambient light sensor integration
  • Dark Mode for macOS (built-in) – Manual or sunrise/sunset only, no ambient light sensor use
