Without an app
- Control Center: Click Control Center in the menu bar, click the arrow next to “Display”, and click “Dark Mode”.
- System Settings: Open “System Settings › Appearance”, and choose “Light”, “Dark”, or “Auto”. “Auto” changes the appearance with your Night Shift schedule, like from sunset to sunrise.
Apple’s instructions. “Auto” is enough when you only want the dark appearance at night. Supercharge is for when you change the appearance often, like to test a design in both.
