Description

For my Android and MacOS I've set the device up to change to dark mode when battery saver is enabled/battery level goes under 30% and change back to light mode when battery is above 30%. I'd like for this to be an option in the app.

Doing this makes it really obvious that device needs to be connected to power soon.
