Store listing

Full description
Dark Sense is an app that runs in the background and automatically switches to dark mode/theme when your device's light sensor detects low light levels, and switches to light mode/theme when your device's light sensor detects high light levels. *** This app requires a special permission to be able to switch dark mode on/off. You must use ADB to give the app permission. If you don't know what ADB is, I recommend that you don't try it, but if you want to try it, you can find many online tutorials about how to install ADB on your computer and link your phone. *** How it works: 1. Connect your phone to ADB and run the command "adb shell pm grant com.nfwebdev.darksense android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" 2. That's it! The app will automatically run in the background monitoring the lighting levels of your device's environment. You can choose at what point dark mode should turn on and at what point light mode should turn on, plus more options in Dark Sense settings.

What's new

v1.3.0 - Android 16 compatibility - New option to only switch light/dark mode when turning the screen on - Bug fixes and minor improvements
