PROMOTION [Promotion] Automatic dark theme & wallpaper switching based on ambient light sensor | Adaptive Theme
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I always found Android's fixed dark mode schedules a bit limiting, so I built Adaptive Theme.
Instead of switching based on time or sunset, it uses your phone's ambient light sensor to automatically choose between the system-wide light and dark theme.
It can also automatically switch between separate light and dark wallpapers.
