Dark Reader for Safari
🇰🇷 KR LocalizedScreenshots
Description
Dark Reader is an eye-care Safari extension that enables night mode by creating dark themes for websites on the fly. It inverts bright colors to make web pages high contrast and easier to read. Dark Reader integrates seamlessly with system dark mode. Adjust brightness and contrast to match your display and ambient lighting. Enable dark mode on every web page or give websites a sepia tone. Select from multiple color theme presets or create your own by customizing background and text colors. Enable or disable Dark Reader for specific websites, automatically sync with system dark mode, or detect already dark websites and leave them unchanged. Developed by the original creators of Dark Reader. Since 2014, we continuously evolve alongside modern web technologies to deliver fast and reliable dark mode support for people sensitive to bright light. A single purchase includes access to the macOS version (Safari browser) when using the same iCloud account. Dark Reader contains no ads and does not collect user data. Enable Dark Reader in Safari preferences and disable similar extensions to prevent conflicts. Enjoy browsing!

User Reviews
Works great on Udemy - makes learning a lot easier without being blinded by bright light all day. Great app!
Desperately need it on my AVP. Thank you
오류가 있습니다 다크모드 온오프만 되고 다른 기능은 전혀 작동을 안해요 색상 변경이 안되고 오류도 자주납니다
options for contrast/more aggressive #000 backgrounds would be sick :3
Noir was what I started using with Safari on iOS but there are websites it doesn’t work on. Since Firefox with Dark Reader is my primary configuration on desktop computers, it made sense to try their iOS app. I found that most of the websites that don’t work in Noir work in Dark Reader, and most of the sites that don’t work in Dark Reader work in Noir, so instead of switching I now have Dark Reader turned on by default and Noir turned off by default, and when I encounter a website that doesn’t darken, I switch by making an exception for it in both extensions. Ideally one would be able to handle every website but nothing is ever that simple. Very few websites slip through both, so I’m pretty content with the setup.
This software was well worth the price. I have not had any problems with this software working with the Safari Browser. There are many setting if you want to adjust the Dark Mode. I love the default setting: “Detect Dark Theme. Site’s Theme Will Not Be Overridden.” This setting can be changed also. I Highly Recommend Dark Reader for Safari.
This extension has saved me a lot of eye strain over the years, I donated money to them when using it on other platforms and I’m proud to support them here as well. People complaining about 5 bucks? Are you kidding me? I rather pay that amount instead of a consult to an eye doctor, that’s for sure. So please, support these guys as this is hands down the best dark mode extension on the whole internet, a lot of time and effort was put into it and again 5 bucks ain’t going to bankrupt your account.
Great functionality, great darkness. However, this continually causes my safari browser to crash on my iPhone making my browser completely useless. The only solution to this was disabling dark reader. I would not recommend buying.
Randomly activates a weird non-dynamic mode, even when the site is set to off, or even extension to off sometimes. Please Fix!
I've used Dark Reader for years on Firefox, and it's a very reliable extension. Very rarely do find websites where the color pallet swaps make it unreadable. And when it does, I can just turn off the extension for a second, get what i need, and flip it back on. Though I haven't spent very long on the Safari version, I believe that will carry over to this version as well. (I will update my review if it turns out otherwise.) Worth the money and the peace of mind for my privacy.
That’s honestly the best way to describe this app. It does exactly what it promises, which is the only reason I paid for it. I’m tired of hunting for dark mode on every website when my computer is already set to it. I love that the sites I visit are automatically in dark mode. Bright white backgrounds absolutely wreck my eyes, and this app completely fixes that problem. To whoever made this: thank you. Truly.
잘 사용하다가 업데이트 후 전혀 작동을 안합니다. ios 버전은 16.1.1 입니다.
