Invaluable when working on a website with light and dark colour variants, is the ability to preview, in either system wide light or dark mode.

I couldn’t find a menubar app to do this so I built one. Anyone know of existing apps out there to do exactly this?

Will release it is there’s nothing out there already.

Nice. But you could litterally do that with shortcuts and no programming:
