How to install Darki on a Mac
- Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
- Search for Darki and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 1.7.1 from Kitround's own GitHub release.

Updates to Darki show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.
Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: Darki-1.7.1.zip (1.7 MB).
What is new in Darki 1.7.1
## Darki 1.7.1 ### Fixes - After a restart, Darki now reliably applies Dark mode when the Mac starts during the dark schedule (the switch could fail at login and was never retried) ### Install 1. Download **Darki-1.7.1.zip** below 2. Unzip and move **Darki.app** to your Applications folder 3. First launch needs the **System Events** Automation permission (see README)
