mobium appearance

This tool on every surface: CLI · MCP · Python · JavaScript · Go · Java · .NET

Read or change the device's light/dark setting

With no argument, prints the current setting.

Dark mode is a different rendering of every screen and is where contrast and hard-coded colors break, so a flow is worth running in both. Android also accepts "auto"; iOS has no such thing and says so.

Usage​

mobium appearance [light | dark | auto] [flags]

Examples​

Switch to dark mode​

Printed on an Android 15 emulator:
