## What it is
DarQ is an Android app that provides a per-app selectable force dark option for Android 10 and above. It uses a root or Shizuku (ADB) service to apply dark themes seamlessly, and can optionally switch to dark mode only between sunset and sunrise.

## Use cases
- force dark mode on apps that don't support it
- enable dark theme per-app on Android 10+
- automatically switch to dark mode after sunset
- apply force dark without an accessibility service
- manage dark theme using Shizuku instead of root

## When to choose
- you want per-app control over dark mode on Android 10+
- your device is rooted or you can run Shizuku via ADB
- you want sunset-to-sunrise automatic dark theme switching

## When to avoid
- your device runs Android below 10
- you cannot grant root or Shizuku/ADB access
- you need a maintained solution - the latest release was in 2023
