A real dark theme
Colours are remapped from the live CSS, keeping brand accents, status chips, charts and illustrations exactly where they belong.
Your developer consoles,
finally dark.
A carefully crafted dark theme for Google Play Console and App Store Connect. Colours are remapped from the consoles' own stylesheets, so every table, chart and dialog stays readable. Nothing else on the web is touched.
Supported consoles
Google Play Console
play.google.com/console
App Store Connect
appstoreconnect.apple.com
Features
Dark done properly, not inverted.
Most "dark mode" extensions flip every pixel. This one reads the consoles' stylesheets and builds a matching dark palette, so it looks like the theme Google and Apple forgot to ship.
No white flash
The theme is in place before the first paint: cold reloads, statistics, financial reports and App Analytics open dark from the first frame.
One switch per console
Turn Play Console or App Store Connect off independently, or everything at once, from the toolbar popup.
Keyboard shortcut
Alt+Shift+D toggles dark mode on the current console and restores the page instantly. Change it in Chrome's shortcut settings.
Follows your system
Optionally go dark only while macOS or Windows is in dark mode. Your choices sync with your Chrome profile.
Stays in its lane
Runs only on play.google.com/console and appstoreconnect.apple.com. No other site is matched, read or changed. Ever.
Screenshots
Every corner of the console.
Dashboards, app lists, version pages and the popup. Click any image to enlarge.
Screenshots show fictional apps and numbers; the interface is the real thing.
The popup
Everything in one small panel.
- Status at a glance. See whether the current tab is themed, waiting for system dark mode, or not a console at all.
- Per-console switches. Play Console and App Store Connect each get their own toggle; the big switch controls both.
- Follow system appearance. Dark only while your OS is dark.
- Shortcut in sight. The current key combination, with a one-click link to change it.
Privacy
Nothing leaves your browser.
There is no analytics, no remote code, no third-party script and no network request of any kind. The extension needs two permissions: storage, to remember your three toggles, and access to the two console domains, to apply the theme.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does it darken the public Google Play Store or the App Store?
No. It only runs on the two developer consoles: play.google.com/console and appstoreconnect.apple.com. The public stores, Google Search, Gmail and everything else are left exactly as they are.
Will it break when Google or Apple redesign their console?
The dark palette is generated from the consoles' live stylesheets rather than hard-coded, so most changes are absorbed automatically. If something looks off after an update, open an issue on GitHub with a screenshot and the page URL.
Does it slow the console down?
No. It is a stylesheet injected before the first paint plus a small script that keeps the theme in sync with the page. There are no network requests.
Can I keep one console light and the other dark?
Yes. Each console has its own switch in the popup. The keyboard shortcut toggles the console you are currently on.
Is this an official Google or Apple product?
No. Console Dark Mode is an independent, open-source project by Salar Dev and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or Apple.
