About

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.

What Real Users Say About Darker - Dark Mode for Safari

Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users

★★☆☆☆
2026-11-02

Full of manipulative ads and not actually free

"Darker is marketed as a free version of Noir. In reality it’s stuffed with Temu ads with dark patterns like fake close buttons that actually just click the ad. Also, it’s $2, so there is literally no reason to use this instead of Noir. It’s sad that Apple used to block apps like this, but now they just let them through."

My eyes don’t burn anymore

"This extension is a life-saver for my college classes in D2L, I’m constantly on there. I also love the options they have for the extension while in use. You’re able to turn it off for different websites, completely turn it off, set it to automatic, or turn it back on for all websites again. Super useful!"

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions About Darker - Dark Mode for Safari?

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

Darker - 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 Darker - 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 "Darker - Dark Mode for Safari" and check the box to enable it. On iPhone/iPad (iOS): Go to iOS "Settings" -> tap "Safari" -> tap "Extensions" -> select "Darker - 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.
