Darki requires two permissions to function properly on macOS:
When you first open Darki, macOS may block it because it's not from the App Store. To fix this:
- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
- Click "Open Anyway" next to the message about Darki
Darki needs permission to control System Events to toggle dark mode automatically.
First time: A popup should appear asking for permission when you launch Darki.
If no popup appears:
- Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy
- Select "Automation" from the left sidebar
- Find Darki in the list
- Check the box next to "System Events"
Without this permission, Darki cannot change your system's appearance settings.
