Description

Dark Mode makes your browser more comfortable, enjoyable and cool by changing the colour scheme to make web pages easier to read. Works especially well for people working during the night, in low light environments or when you want to match your browser with the new macOS dark mode look.

HOW TO USE IT
• Once you activate the extension all websites will display a darker theme. You can start the extension manually, you can schedule it or turn it on automatically (when macOS dark mode is active)
• Just press the toolbar button and you can change to a softer theme, an e-ink (paper) theme or cover the page with a translucent curtain
• You can apply dark mode for some sites only and deactivate the theme for any site

FEATURES
• A simple and powerful Safari extension
• Choose between 5 themes: Dark, Mono Dark, Soft Dark, Dark Curtain and Paper (E-Ink)
• Multiple ways to activate the extension: manually, schedule it for your preferred night hours or when macOS dark mode is on
• You can ignore any site or you can apply Dark Mode for some websites only
• Use hotkeys to toggle Dark Mode:
- Command + Option + K: Temporary toggle (until page refresh)
- Command + Option + P: Permanently toggle

It's ok but there are some issues....

Although it does kind of work, for some sites, it looks like the colour has just been inverted. This is particularly noticeable when there are images on the screen as it looks like you are looking at a "negative". I think that once this issue is sorted out, i.e., that it does the 'dark mode' but leaves images as they are, it would be a pretty nifty app. It's not a question of excluding some sites and leaving them light, but there needs to some minor tweaking to fix this issue. Another really great thing to add would be having different settings of dark mode for specific sites and not one global setting for all. Hope the images thing gets fixed because then, it would deserve a 4 or even 5. Thanks... Appreciate that developing an app on the app store is not an easy process 👍🏻

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I’m taking notes of all of them.The extension works very well for most of the websites out there in the wild. But if you have some websites that are not perfect, Dark Mode can offer some options: you can either add the site to the ignore list, or you can choose what sites Dark Mode to run on (only the sites that are rendered perfectly).If you have any questions, please write me to hello@alexdenk.eu and for sure I can assist you in any matter. Regards.

Serviceable, but not good

While it's nice to have something that tries to convert pages to a "dark mode", this plugin often fails in ways that free plugins for other web browsers don't.

The worst example of this is entire web frames being simply "inverted" in colour leading to inverted image colours for carousel menus, Twitter embeds and many other common website features, and this happens on many popular websites. While you "technically" get Dark Mode there's no point in using it if important content like images can no longer be viewed or read and it undermines the purpose and value of this addon.

If you REALLY want a kind of dark mode for Safari then the flaws can be overlooked, but for everyone else this can't be recommended until the app improves or more options are available on how the addon processes pages, as the current plugin options don't adequately reflect the nuances of websites and the shortcomings of applying a filter to them.

Dear user,
The extension works very well for most of the websites out there in the wild. This is proved by testing and a lot of happy customers. But if you have some websites that are not perfect, Dark Mode can offer some options: you can either add the site to the ignore list, or you can choose what sites Dark Mode to run on (only the sites that are rendered perfectly). You have any questions, please write me to hello@alexdenk.eu and for sure I can assist you in any matter.

Just a colour inverter

messes up formatting for certain sites, making them look ridiculous. the point of a dark mode is that it should be fine-tuned to avoid these issues, and for the price of this app I would expect a much more refined and personalised experience. it seems lazily put together with no real thought put into creating a good user experience. the only way I would be able to use this would be to systematically switch it off and on as i switch websites, which is ridiculous.
