A web browser that dims its whole screen — page, toolbars, video — far below the iPhone's minimum. iOS lets no app dim other apps; the filter works in this browser.
*Top 5 Best Web Browsers for iPhone* /iMore.com
Night Web Browser by Alex is the only web browser that dims your whole screen — the web page, the toolbars, the status bar and fullscreen video on YouTube, Instagram and everywhere else — far below what the iPhone's own brightness slider will let you go.
Do you think your iPhone's or iPad's screen is too bright when you look at it in the dark?
Night Web Browser lets you browse in bed without disturbing the one next to you and without straining your eyes. One tap on the sun button brings up darkness and warmth, and the whole screen follows.
FEATURES
- Darkness boost, far below the system minimum
- Warmer colour temperature for less blue light
- Dims fullscreen video, the toolbars and the status bar
- Dark backgrounds for web pages, not just a dimmed layer
- Fades in and out gently, never a jolt
- Turns on automatically between times you choose, or from sunset to sunrise where you are
- Set it from Shortcuts, Siri, or by holding the app
THE BROWSER AROUND IT
- Flip through your open tabs, or lay them out in a row — and drag them into any order
- Bookmarks in folders, and import them from Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Edge
- Reader for articles, with the clutter removed
- Translate a page into your own language
- Block ads and trackers, and keep cookie notices off the screen
- Hide anything on a page you would rather not see, per site
- Page zoom, find on page, and request the desktop site
- Searchable history — or switch off saving it altogether
- Private tabs, which can be kept behind Face ID or a four-digit code
- Search suggestions as you type — Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Baidu or Ecosia
- Swipe back and forward like in Safari
- Available in 13 languages
- No account, no analytics, no tracking
PLEASE NOTE: only what is inside the browser can be dimmed. iOS does not let any app dim the rest of the system.
I have an iphone. I turned my brightness all the way down, put my settings to dark mode, applied a low light filter on my accesibility zoom short cuts, and still though the screen was too bright, so I searched for this app. Perhaps it works for people who did not already adjust every setting on the phone first, but I found no difference in brightness in this app. Is there no way to further turn down the light?Thank you for developing this app, but it not work for me. Please accept my $1 for your hard work😀 It was worth a try

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! 🙂Have you put the slider at max level? You click on the sun buttom to find the slider. Because I can nearly not see anything when I have the darkest level on. 🙂
Not what I thought

I really thought this would dim my screen more than it's already dimmed but I realised it only opens a webpage that I guess will dim more there. It didn't really explain where to dim it once it's opened unfortunately. I get migraines and being able to call or message someone can be a pain because of how bright the dimmest setting still is. Useful for the internet if you can figure it out (coming off migraine brain to be fair, really hard to think) I guess but I'd like to navigate my whole phone with a dimmer setting. Cool idea though, it was going the right direction.

Just click the dim button and then adjust the brightness. I promise You can’t barley see anything when it’s in the darkest mode. 🙂
Great on iPad and iPhone 😊

Auto dim by schedule. This app is great for dimming. I would love to use it for my iPads used for home automation kiosks. I would like them to dim at a specific time. Then brighten in the morning. Or, it would be really cool to brighten if the front camera senses motion then dim after motion stops. -JY

Thanks for some cool ideas! 😃
The night filter can follow the sun now — on at sunset where you are, off at sunrise.
- Sunset to Sunrise: the schedule can follow the sun where you are. It is worked out on your iPhone and never sent anywhere
- Dark mode for web pages can be turned on or off for one site at a time, from the share menu
- In the morning the filter lets go slowly, over half a minute, instead of daylight arriving all at once
- Hold the app to open the browser already dimmed
- A tab you come back to opens at the paragraph you left it on
Fixed in dark mode for web pages: some images and backgrounds came out as colour negatives, a panel could stay light in the middle of a dark page, and fixed headers could come loose.
