How to force dark mode per-app basis on Android 10 without root

Dark mode has become a must-have feature on smartphones and apps these days due to the rise of devices with OLED screens. Android 10 is the first-ever version of the popular mobile operating system to come with system-wide dark mode. However, stock Android still misses granular controls such as per-app and scheduled dark mode settings, which are found on some heavy skinned UIs. But thankfully, you can now avail those features on any device running Android 10 using the DarQ app without root access.
