To enable Dark Mode, start by opening System Settings on your Mac. From there, select Appearance from the menu on the left side of the screen.
At the top of the Appearance settings, you’ll find three options:
- Light – Uses the standard light appearance.
- Auto – Automatically switches between Light and Dark Mode based on the time of day.
- Dark – Applies a dark appearance across macOS.
Simply select Dark to immediately switch your Mac to Dark Mode.
If you’d rather have your Mac automatically change between Light and Dark Mode throughout the day, you can choose the Auto setting instead. This option uses a light appearance during the day and switches to dark mode at night.
Dark Mode can make your screen more comfortable to view in low-light environments and gives macOS a clean, modern appearance that many users prefer.
