Using Darkinator is a breeze. Here's a quick step-by-step guide:

  1. Download and Install: Head over to the Play Store and search for "Darkinator - The Darkmode chan." Download and install the app.
  2. Choose Your Wallpapers: Select a different wallpaper for light mode and dark mode. You can choose them from your gallery or use existing ones on your phone.
  3. Activate Darkinator: Grant Darkinator permission to access storage (needed to access your wallpapers) and notification access (to detect system theme changes). Then, toggle the switch in the app to activate it.

Permissions Required:

Darkinator requires two permissions:

  • Storage: This allows the app to access your device's storage and select your chosen wallpapers.
  • Notification Access: This lets Darkinator detect when your phone's system theme changes (light to dark or vice versa) and automatically switch your wallpaper accordingly.

My Thoughts on Darkinator:

Darkinator is a fantastic little app for anyone who wants a truly automated dark mode experience. It's incredibly simple to set up and use, taking just a few minutes. Plus, the small download size makes it a great option for those with limited storage space.

Here are some things I particularly liked:

  • Simple and user-friendly: No complex settings or menus to navigate.
  • Lightweight: Doesn't bog down your phone's performance.
  • Effective: Works seamlessly and automatically changes wallpapers based on system theme.
  • No Ads: A refreshing change compared to many free apps!

While it doesn't offer any fancy customization options, Darkinator excels in its core functionality. It's a great choice for anyone who wants a hassle-free way to manage their phone's dark mode and wallpaper.


Overall, If you're looking for a simple and effective way to automate your dark mode experience, Darkinator - The Darkmode chan is a great option. It's user-friendly, lightweight, and gets the job done without any fuss. Give it a try and see if it doesn't become your new dark mode companion!
