mac-dark-mode — Toggle macOS Dark/Light Mode

Switches macOS between dark and light appearance modes using defaults commands.

# Toggle between dark and light mode
python3 mac_dark_mode.py

# Enable dark mode
python3 mac_dark_mode.py on

# Enable light mode

How it works

• Reads AppleInterfaceStyle via defaults read to detect current mode
• Writes or deletes AppleInterfaceStyle to switch modes
• No argument toggles automatically based on current state
