The free utility will add a feature that Apple forgot about.
Dark Mode is one of the most significant innovations in the latest version of macOS. The function completely changes the design of the interface to soft dark tones to make it more comfortable to work in the evening and at night. Unlike Night Shit, which serves the same purpose, Dark Mode is only manually enabled, which is quite a big oversight on Apple's part. Agree, it would be much more logical and more convenient to enable it automatically.
A small free utility NightOwl corrects this annoying misunderstanding. With its help, you can configure the automatic inclusion of dark mode and enjoy the new function without constantly digging into the settings.
NightOwl is activated in two ways. The first option is to enable dark mode from dusk to dawn based on geolocation. With the beginning of twilight, a quiet cry of an owl will sound, and the interface design will change to dark. Simple and convenient.
The second method is scheduling. The utility offers to manually set the time period when the dark mode will automatically turn on. This option is suitable for those who want to use it only at night.
NightOwl also has full manual control, allowing you to switch between dark and light modes by pressing the corresponding buttons in the menu. They work when none of the schedule options is enabled. In addition, you can quickly activate dark mode by right-clicking on the utility icon in the menu bar.
NightOwl is distributed free of charge, but if you wish, you can support the developer on the official website.
