Darker is a Safari extension that automatically adds a dark mode to every website you visit. It makes browsing the web at night so much better. With Darker, you won’t be blinded by bright websites ever again. The main features are: - apply dark mode to various web sites - Enable night shift - yellow tint that helps your eyes - Make web pages easier to read - Read comfortable in night - Save battery power - Customizable background color - Customizable background opacity with a slider Privacy Policy: • The Darker extension requires access to the websites you visit to analyze the existing style of the page and to override it with Darker's dark style. • Darker never collects your browsing data. The only data Darker ‘collects’ are your settings, and those will never leave your device. -- HOW TO SETUP -- 1. Please open the app and click the button on the welcome screen. This will take you to the Settings screen. Then tap Safari (for iPad, check left pane) > Extensions > Darker, then tap the switch to turn it on. 2: On the same screen, tap All Websites > Allow to grant permission to run Darker's extension on Safari on all websites. Now you're all set! Note: You can tap the "Manage Extensions" icon in your Safari address bar to access the Darker settings. Note: Safari may display a notice saying that the extension can read your sensitive information and browsing history. This is a general reminder that appears with every extension. Darker will never read or collect any of your personal information such as passwords or credit card numbers. It's completely safe to use. You have my word! The extension will work on Safari for iOS/iPadOS version 15.0 and above.

At least it isn't paid outright

I used to primarily use Firefox as my personal browser and Chrome for web development, and sometimes still do, and I love the Dark Reader extension because it's free and works great. However, as I'm sure you all know that costs about $5 for Safari for whatever reason. I'm giving this 4 stars solely because it is FREE. It is frustrating with the popups, but I'm sure I'll get over it. I'll be sure to update my review if I change my mind, but I'm just happy I have a free alternative to an extension that SHOULD be free in the first place.

I tried this a week ago, and it did not darken any websites at all. Followed the steps on the app and all that. Left a feedback note with that info, and well, just gave up on it.Lo and behold, a day later I recieved a response to the feedback, suggested a setting. I downloaded and tried it all again, and this time with patience because the app is pretty slow (I get about 850mps here and this ipad was getting about 650 in the room i was in when i did this, so it was the app that was slow, not any devices or speed here). It all works great after this second attempt! Webites in darkmode in Safari! No blinding lights anymore when surfing in dim lighting at night! Thank you!

The app does a nice job with color schemes. It actually renders in better dark mode colors than Dark Mode for Google - the "Dark Reader" app with the darth vader icon. I have seen system slowness and even a Safari crash due to the application. In addition I have seen the issue where I get this QUICK little burst of pure white light before the site renders - honestly that pretty much renders a dark mode useless because if I get hit with that burst of BRIGHT WHITE light that screws my eyes up indefinitely and I think others would agree. For a dark mode to work, it needs to render a website as dark RIGHT when it loads - not just when it loads from cache. Probably will move on to other service providers.

I read that this is the app to get if you have medical problems with high contrast. I installed the app and enabled it under extensions but when I tried to use it, the background is still bright white within most websites. I opened ‘settings’ and see a whole list of color settings. The problem I found was that you have to pay first to change any of them. There are no dimming options unless you pay first. I tried using day and night modes with the same results.I don’t see any usability without paying first. After reading the Apple Store description, I don’t see any mention about having to ‘pay before use’. This is a bit of deceptive advertising.As for me, I try most apps before I pay for them. I don’t like to pay first and hope I like it and that it fills a need. I will pay first if I have history with a product and have found a use for it. I don’t like these little surprises from anyone I do business with.Good luck to you, I will not be trying or buying your app. For those who ‘buy and try’, I hope you’re not disappointed with this app.Just my two cents worth.
