What it is

A simple command-line tool to toggle the macOS Dark Mode. Useful for developers and designers who need quick access to theme switching without navigating through system preferences.

Dark Mode Toggle provides a simple and efficient way to switch between light and dark modes on macOS without leaving the command line.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • MacOS users who need to quickly toggle Dark Mode for development or design work.

  • Users who prefer command-line tools over graphical interfaces for theme switching.

Look elsewhere if

  • Windows or Linux users, as this tool is specific to macOS.

  • Users who do not require frequent theme switching and are comfortable with the system preferences interface.

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

  1. 01

    Limited platform support

    The tool is only available for macOS, limiting its use to users on other operating systems.

  2. 02

    Basic functionality with no advanced features

    The tool only toggles Dark Mode and lacks additional customization options or integrations with other tools.

  3. 03

    Depends on JavaScript runtime

    Users must have a compatible version of Node.js installed to run the tool, which can introduce dependency issues.

What it does well

  • Quickly toggle macOS Dark Mode from the command line.

  • No need to navigate through system preferences for theme switching.
