Needs work

"App shows promise, but zero updates in over six months makes me wonder if the app is dead."

How apps should be

"Doesn't collect data. √ Pay once use forever. √ Doesn't break my flow to ask for a review. So far... I've been using it for about five minutes and so far, I'm impressed. The available themes are pleasing, and the compatibility with the sites I most visit is excellent. It does a good job of maintaining contrast, and it doesn't invert colors, so, for example, on a system status dashboard, red still means bad, and green still means good."

Needs iCloud syncing across devices

"The app is great. But having it on multiple devices and having to tell it on every device what websites to ignore gets annoying when you have Macs and iPhones and iPads all using it."

Neat

"Wish it’d stay dark mode between pages."

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About Dark Mode for Safari?

Q.Is Dark Mode for Safari free, or does it require a subscription?

Dark Mode for Safari is 100% free to download on the Apple App Store without predatory weekly subscription traps. You can install and use it across your Mac and iPhone Safari browsers.

Q.How do I enable Dark Mode for Safari in macOS and iOS Safari?

On Mac (macOS): After downloading from the Mac App Store, open the application once, then launch Safari -> click "Settings" (or Preferences) in the menu bar -> select the "Extensions" tab -> locate "Dark Mode for Safari" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "Dark Mode for Safari" and toggle it ON.

Q.Are GreasyFork and GitHub scripts compatible with Safari on iOS and iPadOS?

Yes! Modern Safari extensions leverage WebKit Content World isolation, allowing full user script execution on mobile iOS Safari, turning your iPhone and iPad into desktop-grade workstations.

Q.Will running multiple user scripts cause web pages to stutter?

Not unless a script uses poorly constructed endless loops. Safari isolates scripts in separate execution contexts, preventing individual script crashes from bringing down the entire browser tab.
