Noir - Dark Mode for Safari App Reviews

Switched from another paid extension. I was using one for years that worked pretty well but the dev did minimal updates and it started having a ton of issues.. been using Noir for many months now and it seems much better so far and you can tell the developer takes pride in their work, happy to see frequent improvements over time that add useful features and fix bugs. Most importantly the dark theme it generates for websites look excellent and nearly native, without big slowdowns and crashes that I’ve experienced with others. The only minor issue has been that it falsely detects native dark modes sometimes, but I see a reporting tool has been added and it’s easy to override this as well. Lastly I’ll mention the interface is attractive and simple within safari and has some advanced features I’ll definitely make use of, great work! Highly recommended.

Shortcut to follow device dark mode. - New shortcut - scroll down to “App” - chose safari - is opened - run immediately - turn off “notify when run” - new blank automation - add “if” - search action “get device details” - drag to top - after “get the” select “appearance” - after “if” select “current appearance” - it will auto fill “dark mode is on” - search action “noir” - “set default noir status” - set noir to “auto” - drag this under “if dark mode is on” - search action “noir” - “set default status” - set noir to “off” - drag this under “otherwise” This will check your system status every time you open safari. If dark mode is on, noir will also turn on. If it’s off, noir will turn off. Works 99% of the time. If you have an issue just close safari and reopen.

^⌥N. As much as I might've wanted to tell you I was *better* than the Dark Mode phase, the truth is, the ability to darken a blinding web page with a single keyboard shortcut (`^⌥N`) has literally changed my browsing life. I have asked so much of this extension - dozens of custom themes, tens of thousands of domain preference entries - and it does stumble sometimes!... But its by far the best supported of the many hyped dark mode Safari Extensions on this marketplace, and its balance of control granularity is literally priceless.

Tints every site, but I have to turn it off often.. Pros. I haven’t found a website it won’t tint! The setup and customization is easy & makes sense. Con’s. This app may be limited to users seeking high customizability & who want to tint websites without loosing their individual aesthetics. After following the setup prompts to the T I’ve found safari to be running much slower. Some visual & functional elements can get blocked which also seems to exacerbate the slowdown. I find that on websites with custom scrolling behaviors, moving art & transitions that at times this app just covers much of that that in the background color but isn’t able to effectively tint the type in order to make it legible. I find I’m constantly turning it off to let websites load images and content, or sometimes when using Shopify stores being unable to click store buttons when it is enabled. Also as it doesn’t have an option to tint web links I find it just makes search engine results feel more cluttered as links are still bright blue instead of the desired theme. I may be more picky than most when it comes to these things. Overall one of the better dark screen options for safari on iPhone. I’m glad this was less than $5 and think it has value at the price just don’t expect pure magic. Thanks for making this app :)

Amazing app for dark mode. One dark night while surfing the web, I was blinded by a bright white web page… That’s how my story with Noir starts, and most likely how you ended up here reading this, after that final, annoying last straw, I started looking into dark mode extensions for Safari. I tried several other free apps and was disappointed, either they made the sites look janky or strange, or it was painfully obvious an attempted dark mode was being applied. After giving up on all the free options, I took the plunge and purchased Noir (it’s less than half the price of a latte these days). I couldn’t be happier with that purchase, Noir works **almost** seamlessly, so well in fact most of the time I don’t realize that Noir is creating the dark mode… until I visit the site on my MacBook… so then I bought the Mac Noir Safari extension as well! As other users point out the only times this doesn’t work seamlessly is on image heavy websites and a few websites that it hides content on, but with constant updates it keeps getting better! Apple should hire this guy and make it a native feature for Safari!

Good in theory. I have debilitating vestibular migraines and lights trigger extreme vertigo, especially white screens. I was relieved to find and purchase this app and really had my hopes up. Unfortunately, it only works about 60% of the time on Safari. Either the website won’t be on dark mode at all, or it will glitch and be dark but the rest of the website is gone, or the website will appear dark and then abruptly change back to bright white after 30 seconds or so (very frustrating and triggers my nausea and vomiting). If you are planning on relying on this like I was, don’t make the same mistake. If you’re fine with it only working sometimes and still having to pay for it, then go for it. Noir, maybe offer a free version of your product until you can guarantee your paid product works?

Exactly what I wanted…. As I use my iPad for personal and work, I have Edge and Firefox installed as well as they both have dark mode settings… However, I use Safari for personal matters as Edge is linked to my business… After finally trying to find out how to make Safari dark (as I use it at night), I decided to purchase this extension and must say it is exactly what I was looking for… Although, I really wish Apple would have incorporated such a simple feature into Safari…

App is great! Can there be an option for removing transition effects?. Hey this app is super cool and helpful, and I fall in love with using it as soon as I purchased one. Great job! Meanwhile, can there be an option for removing transition effects when opening a new tab/website? I always experienced a fade-in(or fade out?) effect that part of the website gradually turns from common white color to dark. I know it can be out of aesthetic reason, but at least to me it always stuns my eyes and becomes annoying to some extent. An option to turn it on/off would be great. Again, many thanks for building the app!

Updated review: it’s basically perfect now.. The developer of this app has quickly responded to feedback and feature requests, and now Noir is elegant, simple, and just as customizable as it should be. There’s a true black option now! And it lets you customize which mode applies by default, and which mode gets applied to specific websites. That’s just what’s needed to ensure every website is usable in dark mode. Thanks for making these improvements!

Game changer for safari. This is an incredible app, works seamlessly. I was waiting for the pure black mode and suggested it to the developer. They communicated immediately letting me know they had that idea in the pipeline and would be implemented soon. A day or two later I noticed the app had updated to implement it. Game changer. Every website loads in beautiful pure black mode which looks amazing on an OLED screen. Highly recommend this app makes every website look fantastic

Noir Works Great!. iOS 15.1, iPhone 12 Pro - Noir works flawlessly with every website I have visited. The websites all look great in dark mode and everything on the web page is readable. Noir works perfectly with the default settings and is so quick one might think Safari had a native dark mode enabled. I was not looking for this type of app, but when I discovered it I had to give it a try. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking to add a dark mode to Safari. My thanks to the developer for a useful app that is simple to use and works well. Job well done!

works well, controls well, and developer keeps up. Noir has worked nicely for me on an iPad Air 4, and Jeffrey has been very diligent in updating it to keep ahead of things websites may do. This is not an easy road, if are aware of just how much variation (and 'cleverness') websites have, and keep changing. I like how there's a nice keyboard control now to rapidly switch Noir off for site that isn't friendly to darkening, so you can read it -- and right back again after. Well worth the pricing, and makes nice for all the time spent reading, particularly with 'older eyes'...

awesome. just found out by reading the reviews that there is a true black mode now and i’m loving it !! was skeptical that this extension would work but I gave it a shot and i’m glad I did , it irritated me that the only thing that wasn’t in dark mode was safari and that problem is fixed ! haven’t experienced any bugs with this extension ! doesn’t bother me that google isn’t all dark seeing as tho I dont go to the google homepage and then look up what i need . job well done

Glad I finally got this app. Ive been looking at noir off an on for about a year now, but always just kept putting it off as I didnt use safari enough on my iPhone to constitute buying it and it doesn’t work with my browser of choice. Then I got an iPad Pro for school and Ive found safari to be a better choice on it overall. Staying up late working on projects for school with dark mode on was always fine, until I’d tab over to safari for reference materials and be momentarily dazed by a massive white screen. Noir was an almost immediately relief on my exhausted eyes.

Finally!!!. As a person who is legally blind I have been waiting for an app like this to come out. I can finally navigate the web through safari in a dark environment without constantly having to toggle the invert colors option on and off. I normally stick to the free apps but took a chance on this one and have no regrets. After more than a decade of using iPhones I finally have a solution to this problem and I am extremely grateful.

I love it. I have tried several dark mode extensions, both free and paid, and this one has worked the best. Also the developer has been super helpful with troubleshooting an issue I was having on web pages with a lot of ads. An ad blocker extension solved that issue for me, but the developer also took the time to implement some improvements with the efficiency of this extension that may help with performance on some pages. Don’t hesitate to buy this app!

Works, but Grammarly extension breaks it!. I went through and was installing several extensions at once and was very pleased with how well Noir works. The very next extension I installed after Noir was Grammarly and it immediately stopped letting me load the full websites with Noir. After disabling Grammarly, everything started working again. I don’t know if this was Grammarly just breaking Safari or if it was breaking Noir, just thought I’d mention if anyone is having issues troubleshooting. Great app! Cheers!

Smooth sailing.. Really well built app. Does everything it says it does perfectly. I bought this before the “all black” theme was available and it was worth it then. The developer seems to be very attentive to the app also. I know it’s a brand new app but there has been several micro updates since the launch (which I personally prefer) over waiting on updates that need fixing. If you are the kind of person that likes “stuff” to look better instead of worse in your life you’ll buy this. Also, no. I’m not a paid actor.

Definitely surprised. I was a little hesitant on purchasing without even a 1 day trial, my main concern was whether or not the colors would be inverted and not look natural. Well I was definitely surprised and glad I pulled the plug and made the purchase. Every site I’ve gone to so far looks naturally dark and think it was implemented perfectly. Definitely love the ability to change between say dark and a dark grey hue. If your on the fence don’t hesitate. It’s definitely worth the couple bucks you’re gonna spend.

Amazing app, absolutely worth the money.. Love this app so much. It’s a one time price, not a monthly fee. It’s smart enough to automatically work on sites that need it and it will ignore sites that already use other dark mode settings. You can configure the background color in settings as well and choose from different shades/colors. You can configure specific sites individually. Buying it on my iPad also allowed me to use it on my iPhone. This has made reading in bed at night so much better. Would recommend this app to anyone who wants to reduce eye strain and not risk their private data with a sketchy free app. Definitely worth the $3 I paid.

Yes, It's THAT Good.. Noir is an excellent app and a superb value. I am grateful for a smart and truly utilitarian extension app that finally invokes and creates an Auto-Dark mode intelligently in Safari. —— Noir is so good, in fact, that you may not always recognize what it's actually doing in the background. It just becomes completely natural that Safari isn't blinding you while browsing at night. —— The rare moments when Noir does not "work" it's still doing exactly what it supposed to be doing, but inadvertently competing with a websites' own Dark Mode, until adjusted or "Auto" Dark Mode is sometimes simply turned off for a particular site that may not need Noir’s attention. —— Love this app, right down to the Dark Mode choices: Dark, Black, Gray, Sepia and Dracula.

Worth the money. Usually with these extensions and add-ons, some of the pages look awkward when you change them to black. Since I need to have dark mode in my browser, I decided to take the plunge and pay for the extension. And it is worth every penny. Every site I frequent looks great in dark mode. Hats off to the devs that I can browse more comfortably at night. **17.4 update** Hey guys. Still loving the plugin. It seems that Noir is either hit or miss after the update. Some sites will give me dark mode. Others won’t. If I refresh a site with dark mode, it goes back to light mode.

I legit want to pay more for this app!!. I’ve tried my fair share of “dark mode” apps and userstyles and extensions across iOS and on the desktops with different browsers, and I’ve literally never seen a dark mode nailed to this degree. In particular, with most of these apps/CSS/extensions, they end up being either not working, extremely saturated, or make the content hard to read due to background and/or text colours, and not being able to “adapt” well enough to the different web pages. Not this app. It’s seriously saving my eyes every night and it’s because of this that I legit want to pay more for this app. It’s priceless.

Dark Mode Automatically!. I have been using Firefox on my iPhone because it has an actual dark mode, but I like Safari’s integration with iOS better. This extension is exactly what I have been looking for! It does it what it claims; it turns each page to dark mode automatically, and without any delay in loading the page. I am so glad I found this extension! Absolutely worth the price to finally have dark mode while surfing with Safari.

Works, with some strange behavior. It works as advertised and makes nighttime browsing way easier on the eyes. However, some website content becomes unusable with it enabled, like the map on Craigslist. I also have security concerns… it occasionally asks to have access to ALL websites even though I’ve specifically only allowed access to certain websites, and does this in a subversive manner with the prompts. I also have the excessive redirects and random page reloading issue that other users report here. I had my credit card info stolen recently, and wonder if this app had anything to do with that despite what the creator says in response to reviews here. I’m not sure it’s worth trusting a 3rd party with sensitive data access and will probably remove this from my phone.

Really love the app overall, and appreciate the dev/support teams responsiveness. It's worked perfectly for me, and has been incredibly helpful for my eyes and overall comfort when using the phone. Reading through other reviews; I really like that the app team people/person will actively reach out to establish contact with them in email so that they can work out what is going wrong for the app on their device. It can be hard for people (including myself sometimes) to figure out whether the issue is coming from my end, or is an issue/bug with the app. Them offering to help fix the problem from people leaving very negative reviews is great customer service practices that I can appreciate. Thanks for making this awesome little safari extension! Tons and tons of people's eyeballs are in debt to this app lol

One of the best purchases I’ve made on the App Store in 13 years.. I really mean that! It feels like the internet has been fixed. It’s hard to explain just how much better browsing the web feels. Like others say, you will run into the occasional site that may not work correctly, but this is typically not the fault of the Noir, but the fault of the website itself. Only takes about 6 seconds to disable on a per-site basis when it does happen, and sometimes the customization to find a theme that fits just right with a site you visit often can be fun. Also love that webpages respect dark / light mode settings in real time. Wonderful job!

Superb. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to gamble the $3 on this but took a stab at it after seeing reviews. This is exactly what you’re looking for. The app offers a completely dark mode which is great for my OLED screen and battery. Also my eyes lol. It has a great tutorial on how to install and use the app/extension as well. If you’re on the fence about this rest assured it’s a completely safe purchase and you will not be disappointed. 10/10

Love the app. Used for feels like years… but. Been a Noir user for a long time. It has always typically worked very well. But for the last 6-8 months I’ve noticed so many website crashes. Where it gives you the repeatedly problem page and then you have to reload the webpage. And then it gets into a loop. So ultimately I just don’t view the page and move on. Sure I can temp turn off Noir but what’s the point then if I’m having to do it daily on multiple pages. I’m only now writing a review because it’s really starting to bug me and I’ve realized all the other options when it comes to dark mode safari on iOS just doesn’t hold up to what Noir has to offer. Not sure what the issue is now when it wasn’t much of an issue before. But I think I’ll be turning off noir for a while and just using lame old whiteeee pages 😂 Will turn back on in future hopefully after an update or maybe later in year when new iOS comes out. Still have enjoyed all the dark viewing the app has given me. I’ll be back 🖤🖤

Noir is The Best BUT check iPhone settings. Marvelous app. Worthwhile. Has Muliple mode theme settings that applies various color combinations, can ignore website's own dark mode and enable Noir's own dark mode instead. But be aware of iPhone's settings Smart Invert and Classic Invert (Settings/Accessability/Display and Text Size/Smart Invert or Classic Invert). Enabling either settting may or may not interfere with Noir settings. Classic Invert completely reverses everything, makes page light and images dark. Completely overrides Noir. Smart Invert changes some but not all on the page. May not interfere with Noir, so test by enabling/disabling Smart Invert while switching different Noir themes while also switching Smart Invert on/off.

It was amazing, ruined by updates!. Update, well it was working just fine but after several updates it no longer works correctly. The image darkener option always is on and does not turn off unless in the setting application. But it turns back on after each update. Also it does not work per website. Back to looking for an alternative again. Agh! Was such a good app when originally released… updated ruined it unfortunately. Original comments: I’ve tried other apps that attempt to do a dark mode. This one actually worked extremely well! I’ve tried all sorts of full page white sites and this extension was able to make them all dark but look extremely well! Bravo to this developer for making such a great app!

Issues detecting dark sites?. I’ve noticed a lot of the time, several sites will be bright white. I’ll go into Noir, and it won’t say anything (other than show the site options as Default). I’ll have to force close (swipe up) safari and reopen it, then Noir will say it detects an active existing dark theme and I can then choose to ignore it and it darkens the site fine. I’m having to do that more often than I’d like. Still rating this 5 stars, this may very well be a Safari issue as it tends to have weird issues with some of my extensions for who knows what reason but not like I have a browser choice after all

Bought it, without knowing the garden.. I was looking through “Safari Extensions” one day as I never really used them before, then came along ‘Noir’. The $1.99 (give or take $1) sort of made me think if it was worth paying, but I gave it a whirl. While I personally only have issues on the sights that contain vivid white imagery to convey their UI, other sites work marvelously with Noir. I, a student, find this also a cheeky way to “hide” what I’m reading from other classmates because some can snoop and as I’m the only one with the iPad it’s sorta awkward. My favorite feature is when you’re editing a theme you get a random Noir-related news company with a newspaper style story about the theme. Haha, what a nice touch! It just refreshes whenever the control center is toggled I’ve found. Sorta wish it was a system wide feature but that is beyond any iOS app capability. Color Filters work best with other apps.

Remember forum based pet sims?. Wanted the ability to set dark mode- simply show black instead of white backgrounds, swap black font colors to white. Other than that, I wanted it out of the way; a real set and forget type deal. This is so much more, automatically synching to both my iPads. Only setting it to do what I want had been simple. I’m giddy-pleased with the ability to set the font color for when it triggers: bland pages now render black with lime green text. This triggers font color most often, sometimes when there’s a button-fill color. (Be careful choosing what colors you pick! High contrast is best.) it leaves everything else alone, but again, has a slew of other options.

Great Extension! Would love an Auto change feature around night shift. I really like this extension, and it’s super useful and very similar to extensions I use on my computer for the same purpose. However, one downside is that I would rather be able to have websites auto darken based on my phones Night Shift setting, as opposed to just Dark Mode. I tend to keep Dark Mode on all day for personal tastes, but still prefer websites to be their normal themes until it’s darker outside and the whites become flash bangs. Hoping the APIs allow reading Night Shift status, because that would make this even better! Developer responded with a good workaround for using Sunset/arise as a trigger and it works great! Thank you!!

Very Much Worth It!. At first I was hesitant to drop money on this app, especially since there aren’t enough ratings and reviews to display said ratings and reviews. Sure, $2.99 isn’t a lot, but I’m not really a fan of spending money on a mobile app unless it’s 100% worth every cent, and this app is just that! It works really well with every website I’ve tried it on thus far. Any websites I do run into that aren’t compatible can be reported in-app, and I’m sure the developer will make the necessary modifications to get this app working on that website. If you’re a night owl or you just like sitting in the dark, this app is a must.

Amazing 😎. I love this safari extension Works great. It can be customized so you can set different settings for different sites. I emailed Jeffery today for help and he got back to me and answered my question which really helped. I also asked if I can set this to have it enabled only during certain hours. So happy that it can be done. Jeffery the app developer said As for enabling Noir only during certain hours, that’s already possible, you need to set enabled to ‘auto’ and then change the ‘Auto Mode’ to ‘Custom Schedule’ on the Advanced Settings page in the Noir app.

So Far, Fantastic Experience! Helps save Battery Life!. So, for anyone with an iPhone 11 Pro or up, or anyone using the iPhone X, or XS/XS Max can benefit greatly from this by having it reduce all that white background that Safari or other sites will normally display, and put a dark background to it so that you can use Safari a bit longer, with improved screen-on time. I haven’t ran into any issues thus far. I’ll report back if anything weird happens!

Not Monitoring Anything. When you buy and allow noir to use safari a little pop up appears. While the pop up does look odd cause it talks about noir possibly gathering information like history and passwords which is not the case. I emailed Jeff (developer of Noir) and he assured me that it is not the case. He also sent there privacy policy which is super easy and understandable to read. So far all of the websites i’ve looked at on my phone have been well dark. For 3$ Id buy it again just to keep the strain off my eyes. If you have sensitive eyes to light like me definitely buy this app.

Great on iOS but …. I purchased the Noir app for my iPhone and iPad immediately after Apple launched iOS 15 and I have been very happy with it. About a month ago, I bought my first Macbook . One of the first things I did while setting up my laptop was attempt to restore Noir to Safari from my iPhone/iPad to the Macbook. I figured it would be a simple process, especially because of Apple’s integration of iOS apps with the M1 Macs. Unfortunately, it quickly became obvious that if I wanted Noir on my Macbook, I would have to buy it again. I don’t have alot of money and It took me a year to save up for the Macbook so this was a disappointment. I have not purchased Noir for my Macbook yet and I probably won’t, simply because I can’t afford it nor can I justify the expense to myself. I already bought it. I’ll be looking into alternatives, but I am fairly sure that no other option will compare to Noir. Still, I can’t afford it. Just because I own a Macbook Air doesn’t mean I have cash to spare in order to buy something I already purchased. If this is not the appropriate place to bring this issue up, I’m sorry, I mean no harm.

I like more Noir. I’ve just purchased the app, but so far I’m very satisfied with it. I like the fact that we can alter the colors within a theme or create our own personal themes. One suggestion, if possible, would be to also allow us to choose the text color and brightness for embedded links. In my experiences, so far, those links can be in a color that’s complementary to the background and seem to be dimmer. I’m also a person that uses trifocals, so my results may not be the same as your results.

The best Dark Mode for Safari extension. Don't waste time trying all the inferior free apps, just buy this one. It is fantastic, and the developer has continued to tweak and improve it over time. And when a website doesn't render properly, you can easily disable just that website, or even change the theme for just that website, without having to disable the entire extension. An absolute must-have app for OLED iPhones.

Good but imperfect. 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, a few taps creates 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.

Was great at first…. I have no idea what happened, but when I installed this thing it was fantastic. After countless updates, where things got progressively worse and worse, I now have an extension that I have to turn off on 50% of pages. At best it just reverses all of the colors.. yeah the background turned black, but all of these dark images and backgrounds turned bright white. At worst it makes all of the lights dark, and leaves the darks dark. I get a black page with black text and images. Strangely, it does this across ALL of the devices I have it installed on, so I don’t think it is a settings or installation issue. Not sure what to do anymore. I have disabled it, because white is far less annoying than unreadable. Although white is pretty annoying, so I will try this again in a few months.

Utter Darkness. After the dev released an update to add pure black mode for OLED perfection, I had to leave a review. Despite this app being relatively new, as iOS Safari extensions has only recently been introduced, Noir is already one of my favorite utilities. It works better than most dark mode extensions for desktop, all while having a minimal feel and complete control over which websites it activates on. I think the price is extremely reasonable to support the developer’s work on this. Well done.

Bright Flashes When sites Load. I purchased Noir and put it to use for several weeks of nighttime Safari browsing. I wanted to love Noir but I now use a different extension. Problem is, Noir allows a bright, all-screen, white flash fairly often, I believe whe n switching tabs or first loading a site. Its a dealbreaker for me. The issue has been reported by others in Reddit but dismissed by the app creator as ‘inevitable’. I’m not trying to be a jerk, just factual when I disagree. In the same Reddit thread, users mentioned that Nitefall and another extension work without flashing, so I tried Nitefall. It doesn’t flash and I haven’t used Noir since.

Exactly how it should be. For as long as dark mode has been out, it’s been extremely frustrating to open up Safari and have it not be in dark mode. From using it for the purposes of customizing the look of your iPhone, to having “sensitive eyes”, to wanting to be sketchy and as secretive as possible - whichever the reason, this app has you covered. No broken websites, no blinded by the light randomly on websites as popular as Google. It’s funny that after all these years, all these updates, and yet ANOTHER version of iOS - it’s STILL a 3rd party application / safari extension we have to use to enable our God given right to view content in darkness 😂 Thank you Noir!

95% Perfect. I love Noir and use it daily to force dark mode in Safari — it works beautifully for 95% of websites. But Google’s new highlighted text (the AI answer highlights using Scroll to Text Fragment) causes major readability issues — the highlight often shows up unreadable or clashes badly with the forced dark from Nior app. Let users add custom CSS on iOS Safari. Automatically detect and override Google’s scroll-to-text highlights so they don’t break the dark mode. This would make Noir the best tool on iPhone for night/dark mode!

private browsing data. With this extension turned on, if you are using a private browsing tab, the data still gets saved. For example, if you go to a website in a private tab with the extension enabled, you will find the corresponding data saved in settings -> safari -> advanced -> website data. However, this doesn’t happen if you turn the extension off. Updated: with iOS 17, we can turn off extensions per private or public browsing so it’s a valid workaround.

The best Dark Mode extension on both iOS and MacOS. After trying several extensions to enable dark mode, I read a suggestion online to give Noir a shot. After several months of use, I can confidently say that Noir is the best Dark mode extension on iOS. You have the open to set a default on what dark mode appearance you prefer, and you can choose to either pause the effect or turn it off on a page by page basis. You can also report a webpage not adjusting correctly to the devs and it tends to fix itself rather quickly. The best part about Noir is that your customization choices sync across iCloud. So when I discovered Noir on macOS, it was a no brainer to install because all of my preferences are automatically applied cross platform. It’s not a resource hog at all, and the interface in iOS and Mac are easy to access and change. I donated to the dev on top of payment just because this app is such a great design. I feel that this app is a must have utility app and I recommend it to everyone considering a dark mode extension that works perfectly with the added benefit of cross-platform functionality.

FINALLY!. Dark mode on entire page and not just headers which just makes the rest of the still white page even more blinding and bad for your eyes. Wish I’d had this ages ago - I would prolly still have 20/20 vision. Thank you!

Awesome Safari extension. A must have app / extension if you are a dark mode fan. Exceeded all my expectations with how well it adjusts website colours to fit with dark mode and low light reading. It has worked brilliantly with every website I have visited. Colours of text, the background, etc. are all modified on the fly intelligently, reproducing ever website in a pleasing and easy to read dark mode. It can even dim image brightness too if you want that. All with no discernible impact on browsing speed. Can’t recommend this enough. Worth every penny. Buy now.

Amazing. Love this extension - it saves my eyes from being blinded at night. It adjusts the colours of pages far better than the competitors I’ve tried. Just wish there was a Mac version to go along with the iOS one!

Works great most of the time. But annoyingly glitches several of my favourite websites: techradar, musicradar, Birmingham mail... It's become too annoying to keep on unfortunately...

Ok but not as good as it should be. It works well enough on most websites but others I’ve had to switch it off to read text. It also seems incapable of managing certain types of adverts (noticed on the BBC website) where it glitches out with the screen jumping up and down, almost making them unreadable.

Great app definitely recommend!. Just want to say thank you for this awesome extension. I especially appreciate the fact that Noir will not be activated if the website has its own dark mode. I have used similar apps before, none of them has this feature. Do you have plans on making Noir available for Mac Safari?

Works perfectly. Absolutely fantastic! I tried a couple of free ones and they were just not working and looked like rubbish. This feels like it’s part of iOS and it works really well. Love it!!

A must to have. Works great across devices. Does everything it says. A must have

Frequent Updates. I did not want to leave a review earlier on because there were a few bugs, but I assure you multiple times a week large fixes and updates are coming and this extension has honestly grown to be always on for me without much issue! Thank you

Say no more to “MY EYES” at night!. Was quite disappointed when I moved from Samsung to iPhone that the native browser didn’t support night/dark mode when browsing at night. However, I heard about this app when iOS 15 launched and bought it Day 1 to test. Let me tell you this app is the closest thing to the night mode on the Samsung Browser or better! It just works. Really happy with this app as it makes all the white webpages into dark (you can customise it) and dims down bright pictures too. This makes it easier for the eyes when the website doesn’t support native dark mode. Awesome work Dev :)

Scam. This app doesn’t do what it says. Don’t waste your money.

Simply the best. Tried a few other dark mode extensions before this, but they were all hit and miss - often leaving half the website light. I decided to bite the bullet and get Noir and I have zero regrets. There is no substitute for the consistent quality of this app, and seeing how often the developer is updating it makes me confident it’ll only get better

Brilliant. Got this app day one of iOS 15 this app regularly updated. . Very impressed with this app. This app was the first of its kind and now with other Dark Mode apps coming in I think this app should be at the top of the list! Wrote this review because I think there’s that deserves it’s place at the top for dark mode. I must admit I was a little dubious because it was the first app out of the box that I’m glad I took the risk and never regretted the purchase.

This is the one. Yes, this is the one Safari extension you need if you’re looking to enable dark mode for all websites. My most used app besides Safari, is indeed an Safari extension. It just works every time and very easy to customise. Plus, the developer respects your privacy and doesn’t collect your search history and data. I couldn’t recommend this app for power users and everyday Safari surfers. My one wish was Shortcut support so I can program a Shortcut to change my Noir dark mode with my iPhone back tap.

Best dark mode I’ve used for light sensitivity. I have chronic migraines with severe light sensitivity and really struggle with white lights, can’t stand them. This is hands down the best dark mode I’ve used in the last decade and the only reason I switched to using safari as a browser. It works on more websites and has a nicer colour template which consistently feels better on the head. I don’t usually write reviews but thank you so much for making this app.

Fills a gaping hole in website design beautifully. As the internet is slow to catch on to supporting dark mode on devices this is a much appreciated app. As a web developer myself I know it’s a tricky thing to infer an appropriate colour palette from a light version, it’s hardly just inverting colours! So I appreciate the attention to detail and constant refinement the developer puts in.

Pleasantly surprised. I felt when buying this app that it was a bit pricey for just a dark mode and thought I might not use it for long. I have to say I was very much wrong, it was a great purchase and will continue to use it. It is so great seeing the app have constant updates Great work!

Great app! Hopefully around for a while. Noir is solid! Works on the majority of websites I visit, plus that OLED mode is a great addition. Early stages so it’s acceptable that some pages need a tweak! Fingers crossed this app stays around and continues the update frequency.

Lacks consistency.. Some sites darken others do not. The worst is when a site only partly works.

Worth every cent. Amazing app, works well even on the sites that some other apps have trouble with. Has different themes for dark mode, great if you’re like me and don’t like it to just be black on white. (I find the white a little glaring against the black backdrop so I went for a dark gray background).

Works Perfectly. Great app which works as intended. The developer is responsive, and constantly updating the app to improve the experience.

Great app - works so well. This works brilliantly with Safari, and immediately worked on most of the websites I had open in Safari at that moment. Sure, there are going to be a handful of misses on the auto setting, and that’s to be expected given there’s such a huge variety of web design out there. But it’s super easy to quickly tweak the settings of Noir to adjust that website, and it’s fine from there on in. And like a lot of people, I’d love to see this on Safari for Mac as well - that would be incredible! :) Hugely appreciate your privacy policy as well, and that you’re an indie developer. I hope you get to sell this to Apple or someone else and make a few million $$!

Wonderful, except for the extra icon. Loving this app so far, but I don’t love the extra icon in an already crowded tab bar. Wish I could move it to the menu.

Does what it says. Excellent. Websites without dark mode get dark. Perfect for night-time reading.

It’s OK. The extension is OK, but only takes care of overall background, not the text colours or some title strip background colour. This is mostly apparent on iPad. If making it similar to Firefox’s night mode, then that would be great.

Crashes. Web page crashes and reloads nearly every time you pinch zoom.

Should be official iOS software. Bought this for Mac and iPhone. You literally install it and it just works. Rarely certain elements are incorrectly darkened and are not visible, but you can quickly toggle off Noir to see it. And there’s keyboard shortcuts to do so. Bro apple needs to hire the dev and then give him a gazillion dollars. It feels like we’re still living in 1995 when you open an article and you get flash banged. We have the technology now!! And it’s called Noir?!!

Crashing. It was a great app! But… after a while the automatic night mode (dark) caused my safari to crash and stop working!!! Please fix the bug as I cant use the extension anymore with our sacrificing safari

Obligatory app. Noir is an essential app. There’s not much to say.

Good app!!!. Noir dark mode app is a new app that came out the same day of iOS 15 because it only works for iOS 15 due to the feature of Extensions and i have bought it and it works so good and it does the job done and easy to follow the Instructions!!

Fantastic!. Thanks for setting up the adjustments to the background. Really nice touch. Possible to adjust the font colour to mitigate the contrast of a dark background to blazing white fonts?

Not Great. When this app works, it’s great, which thankfully it does for major sites like Google/YouTube/Instagram/etc. But I recently had to switch it from on by default to manual per-site configuration since it makes a lot of sites unreadable or just look weird. Hope it gets better.

Yes!. I'm so pumped that you added full black mode instead of dark only. This was worth every cent!

Does what it says mostly. Works well. Had some serious issues with Wikipedia just not loading properly when this extension was enabled however Edit: My original review is above. I contacted the developer and since the latest update (on 2021-09-23) the issue has been resolved for me

Amazing!. I really do love the ease and simplicity of this app. Finally, dark mode for Safari on iOS AND Mac! It doesn’t get any better. Thank you for your hard work, Jeffrey.

Safari reader. Doesn’t work with existing safari reader

Some websites crash. This is a great app and it works for most websites but there is the odd website that will repeatedly crash until I disable this app on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, it can be quite annoying

Works well, wish it had an OLED mode. Surprising good extension app, and intelligently darkens websites. My only wish is to have a black option rather than only the dark grey background option.

Crashes websites on iPhone 14 Pro. This is a very good app, but websites definitely seem to crash more often when I have noir enabled. It’s a bit frustrating

Does What It Says Very Well. I really appreciate using this app at night. Easy to use. Works well on website's.

Works really well. Been using Dark Reader on PC Firefox, but I find this app works much better. Much less unreadable websites with this addon

Incredibly efficient. This app simply works, it won’t let you down. One of the best purchase I’ve made.

Absolutely fantastic app/Safari extension!. This app/Safari extension is great if you’re tired of having your eyeballs scorched by the generally default white background of webpages. I have yet to encounter a webpage that Noir doesn’t render properly. This is a must have if you browse at all in Safari!

More granular control, please!. I love this extension, but I'd like more granular control: I want to use a custom theme on a website, but the custom theme makes the forum section of the same website unreadable. I want to be able to exclude that part of the website from having the theme applied. For example, I want the custom theme applied to `website.com/` but not to `website.com/forum/*` (the asterisk representing any sub-URL). Other than that, I find this an indispensable Safari extension. Thank you!

Manners. Jeffrey feels like a friend! Thanks for all your care & hard work.

Works Great!. Finally I can use whatever websites I want at night without getting my retinas seared! Set it and forget it.

Great experience on Safari. I really appreciate that extension for a dark and neat Safari experience. I also like the detailed changelog for every (and frequent) update.

Turn off Image Inverting. PLEASE let me turn off image inverting. It’s constantly inverting images that are ALREADY DARK. It’s makes no sense. If you’re not going to improve your app, at least let me turn off image inverting in the settings.

The app is fine. The app seems to work fine but images especially in ads are photo negative which is just plain annoying.

Best of the Lot. I don’t know what kind of black magic the developer did to make Noir’s colours so good. I keep thinking, “Wait, this site has a native dark mode?” only to realize that, no, Noir just perfectly matched the colour scheme of the site. Way better than everything else, totally worth your money. Buy it!

Great safari extension. Really nice app! One request: there’s a bit of a weird behaviour when clicking though Wikipedia links where the screen flashes bright white for a split second before reverting to dark mode. This is pretty jarring at night.

The best Safari extension to date!. Amazing app! With plenty of settings and features to make sure you don't have to ever look at white mode again! 10/10 would buy 10 times over! Saves by battery life and eyes!! Thank you Noir!

Great so far. Please add the ability to customize the dark mode (contrast) and turn on automatically from sunset to sunrise. Thanks for the great app

Safari Dark Mode is Finally Here!. Props to the developer for making this feature available as soon as iOS 15 came out. I’ve been using a similar extension on my Mac and I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time. Stoked that the developer doesn’t collect information, and a one-time-payment is honestly so much better than a subscription price model.

Overall satisfied, but needs improvement.. Some websites after darken, the colour looks just like applied an inverse, and make reading less comfortable.

Night mode on apps other than just safari for IOS???. Is it possible for you to make dark mode possible on apps other than safari as well that dont have a dark mode setting in the app itself for iphones like amazon?

Why no Universal Purchase?. An excellent app. But why is it not a universal purchase? I did not realize the macOS version would be a separate purchase. I wouldn’t have minded paying slightly more for a universal app, but making 2 separate apps for each OS seems unnecessary. Edit: Updating my review to 5 stars now after getting quick response from developer! Thanks.

Finally!. Works great! Thank you!

This app is trash. I have to turn this app off in safari more than I can keep it on, cuz it makes things unreadable. I constantly get black text and black background. What use is this app if it cant do its sole basic function?

Great. I have been waiting for something like this for ages, works great so far! I like that it is integrated as a Safari extension.

Good but slows Safari speed. Does the job, but also seems to increase the loading time of all websites

It just works. Kudos to the developer, it works like charm and it feels like its a native app

Awesome. Awesome extension and very well executed. Must have for people like me that enjoys dark mode!

I wanted to like it, but isn’t consistent. This app doesn’t consistently work across all sites, and it causes some site to become unreadable. I have a free safari extension that works across all sites, and I don’t have to keep going to the settings to turn it off to force it to work. It’s frustrating considering I paid for this.

Absolute game changer.. Considering how well this extension works, it’s really a shame Apple doesn’t allow in-app Safari windows to use extensions. When I’m using another app that has to open a webpage I need to open Safari itself to use Noir, which I do, almost every time, when I’m in dark mode. It doesn’t work very well with Reddit right now, but considering their track record… that’s Reddit’s fault. The developer made it very easy to report sites that aren’t darkening properly though.

Just doesn’t work. Great concept but after using it over a a year and checking the large amount of sites that I reported where mostly text isn’t readable/visible, I decided to uninstall it. One common problem that I reported in the past and still not fixed, on first visit text is not visible, then if you reload or get out of safari then back to it, it works for that page. Also annoying switches from white to dark in many sites.

Perfect app. Simple and works perfectly with iOS 15, don’t hesitate.

Great Idea - Doesn't Work. Tried this out and it broke so many sites that I turned it off after browsing with it for an hour. Too many to bother reporting - was especially bad for ones that were already dark or partially dark. Heck, I requested a refund, and it caused text on the Apple page to double up in all the menus. Wish I could say better for it, but wasn't thrilled to find something I paid up front for functioned that badly.

Good app. Definitely my favorite app. Just got it today and it’s been amazing on safari the dark mode on all the websites was great

Amazing. Absolutely amazing I can’t believe this app had been out for so long and I’d just been suffering instead … paid less than a latte to avoid being blinded by white pages from now on. Got this app for my iPhone and iPad, and also just bought the Mac version for my MacBook - love both so much, it makes such a difference. Saw some reviews about webpages crashing and I haven’t experienced any of that in my browsing … might be specific websites, but the developer seems quite responsive and there are updates being put out for reported websites, so I’m sure fixes will continually be made. I also love the iCloud syncing so that any custom themes can be available on all my devices.

Works so well it feels like a part of iOS. iOS 15 has some awesome improvements, but allowing this app to be made is my favourite one by far. I tested some other similar extensions first, and they looked like what they are - just a tweak to the original website’s CSS. This one looks like the website was redesigned by a human to have a dark mode, even on webpages I expected it to butcher (lots of secondary colours and highlights). The privacy policy for this app is perfect, too, which is great to see in a normal app but absolutely necessary (imo) for one that can see and modify all your searches. I rarely buy apps, but in this case I don’t begrudge a couple dollars at all for such a nice quality of life improvement.

Web page reloading. It’s good but does any experience web pages keep reloading?

I love Noir. I really do love Noir The app and extension saves my eyes when I’m on those websites that you haven’t adopted night mode On safari. And with this extension/app there’s finally a way around that!

PRAISE BE. Best app/extension!

Basic. Only works on very basic sites.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Almost perfect. Developers please give us a way to turn on dark mode for all the website after a certain time For example I would love to see all the websites how they normally appear from 6 am -5 pm and from 5 pm to 6 am next day I want to enable noir for dark mode. It would be a great addition. Thanks.

Incredibly elegant. This app is more elegant than some Apple apps. The setup is the best I’ve seen and from there it works so well it feels like a built-in feature. There are a few sites that get wonky, but the app does get updated regularly to address that.

Highly recommend to save battery. This has been great to help my devices use less battery when using safari, and also helped them from getting too warm as well.

Amazing Safari Extension!. Overall this app is perfect! It allows me to make websites respect my system appearance settings. The only improvement I can think of would be allowing setting a theme for light mode as well, such as enabling more paper-accurate colors for reading articles on. Other than that, 10/10!

Works Flawlessly and Respects your Privacy. A simple, aesthetic, and effective dark mode. Normally I wouldn’t allow any app that requests full access to my web activity that isn’t open source, but the developer really seams to have a solid respect for data privacy.

Looking forward to a Mac version. Thank you for this great extension! I really like the feature of automatically turning off it when a website has its own dark mode. Would you have a Mac version for this wonderful extension?

Keeps changing default settings….. Everyday the Noir app keeps reverting the settings away from the defaults I have chosen. Quite awhile back i had to disable iCloud syncing bc Apple has really broken that lately with certain 3rd party apps. That’s ok, bc i don’t need my ipad and iPhone to retain the same settings for this app. But the ipad version keeps changing the settings each day from what I have set. For instance, the default dark mode (dark) keeps coming back after I keep setting it to black for all sites. Please fix. otherwise, great app when not taking too many resources.

What Apple should've done from the start!. Works great and the developer is very responsive. Works as perfectly as it gets with very few issues. My favorite feature is the app doesn't mess with websites that already supports dark mode natively. If you want dark mode in Safari for all websites, I highly recommend this app.

Great Extension!. Does everything you’d ask for including helpful settings for letting website’s native dark mode take over if present. I would LOVE a sunrise/sunset mode to go off of or an ability tinder up times that Noir takes affect! Would achieve 5 stars easily

Previewing pages no longer showing in dark mode. The app is excellent and really shines when you have an OLED display and use the “black” function instead of “dark”. However, I don’t know if it’s because of a recent update or not, but when you hold on a link to preview it, the previewed link isn’t automatically darkened/blackened as it used to be. Please fix this!

Light Sensitive? Surfing at Night? You need this!. I can’t believe how long I’ve gone squinting at bright white webpages! As a light sensitive person, this app has made browsing the web comfortable again. I don’t hesitate to read longer blogs and stories now. Thank you!

Awesome app worth paying for! Developer respect your privacy. Unlike a lot of safari extensions, this developer does not spy on your web traffic. The extension works very well. Definitely Worth paying for. Support this developer and get a very useful and well-maintained safari extension :)

I posted a negative review cause i couldn't figure it out. So this is for balance. When i enabled it, i got spooked by the popup about it reading things i type in. So i clicked allow for one day to try it. But then it didn't work for some reason. When i picked allow, and allow for all websites it worked 👍🏻

Should mention data exposure in description. I am a little irritated that it was not in BOLD print in the description that in order to use this app, you have to let it have access to all your passwords and potentially credit card numbers. If I had known that I would not have wasted my $2.99. The subtle acknowledgement you have to click on when your first turn it on should be a glaring warning to those that use this. If they are telling you they can see this info, now ask what they are doing with it?

What happened?. The latest version is inverting so many images. If you browse say a store and you’re looking at lists of product pictures, most of them are inverted. There are more issues but basically….the older version worked so much better. I wish Apple would allow people to switch between versions. 🥲

FYI, if Safari is crashing on you constantly, Noir is why. I’ve been a Noir user for a long time. Sadly, this weird issue has never been corrected. It doesn’t seem to affect everyone, but there are numerous others who’ve experienced this, too - noir somehow makes pages glitch and glitch and glitch until the site simply breaks. It’s literally been months of this, and until whatever causes this is fixed, I’m done.

The best. This is the the best dark browser extension that I’ve ever used sometimes there’s glitches (but it’s easy to fix just reload the page) I would give this app five stars wait I already give it five stars I would highly recommend this app👍

Extremely happy with Noir.. I’m usually up all night while my spouse is a light sleeper who would wake up from even the tiniest flash of light. Noir was Very much worth the small cost for helping to solve that little annoying problem alone, but helping to also keep my identity private & safer is an nice added bonus. Superb app.

More dark mode automation?. Can you implement a feature where it turn on dark mode when screen brightness lower than certain point and dark mode is off when screen brightness is greater than a certain threshold? Good add-on none the less.

Issues. Whenever noir is turned on, I try to search for something. When is tries to upload the google search page, it doesn’t fully load the page. It would be great if you could fix this bug.

Works but…. The app works great. Does everything it says it does. However, I noticed on both iPhone 13 and Xs max that web pages keep reloading every minute or so. Quite distracting. I went to manage web site extensions and turned the app of manually and it kept reloading websites. Only deleting the app did webpages stop reloading. Don’t know what’s what here, but doesn’t seem coincidental to me.

Glad to have this extension. Works good for me on my iPhone 13 mini. Certainly makes my life easier. Great price. From time to time websites doesn’t translate the best but in those few occasions I simply turn Noir off then turn it right back on once Im ready. Simple stuff. Recommend. I’d give it 4.5 / 5.0

A few bugs. Solid extension, happy with purchase. Seeing bugs on websites I frequent though which is frustrating. Dark mode also gets reset when swiping back occasionally. If these things get fixed in future updates it’ll be a 5 star rating from me.

absurdly good. Everything on the web gains a readable, good looking, dark mode. Even the most obscure and complex of webpages. Glitches are so rare, that I don’t even think to blame Noir in the few instances where it has been at fault. This is what you’re looking for.

Very impressed!. This extension really does what it says it does. The only default Sarai option, to use reader on web pages, often strips pages of images and makes browsing more difficult. Other similar extensions didn’t work will for me. This one is like magic. It is fast and handles images very well. Great work!

5 stars simply for frequent updates. Sometimes you feel you’re burning money buying stuff on the App Store. It’s refreshing to see you keeping the app up-to-date. This is a worthy purchase!

Nice idea, but half functional, and iffy permissions. Tested it on a few websites with mixed results. It has no issue with Wikipedia but is extremely buggy on The Verge, for example, ending up with partially rendered pages and misaligned landscape layouts. The permissions required in Safari to enable the extension for a given site are also somewhat concerning (read and modify all site data), though likely necessary for it to work in the first place.

Great app and developer. Noir is the best extension on the App Store, and I can’t recommend it enough. Noir can help you save some battery and your eyesight. Features like dim images and a dark mode scheduler make the experience of this extension perfect. There are lots of themes to pick from and you can have custom preferences for each site you visit. Noir deserves to be app of the day! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not Working As Well Anymore. Many websites are not working with dark mode turned on. I've submitted multiple requests to the developer and have received an email that they will look at it. However, it's never been fixed. It's getting too common where the website will initially load in light mode and I have to refresh to load dark mode. Many elements are becoming hidden on websites. The developer seems to be MIA the past 4 months. There hasn't been any updates.

Great extension with only a few missing things. I love this extension. It’s easy to use and works on a per website basis. I have one qualm: when dark mode is activated, for some websites the links don’t show differently. For example, the underline in links don’t show up. So any link in the web page just looks like regular text and I have to disable noir to be able to see where the links are. Apart from that great job!

Excellent product. I’ve been using this product for all Safari activity for more than 6 months and am very pleased to get a high quality product with outstanding support. Money well spent.

Awesome!. This app extension did what I've always wanted. Dark Mode all over safari. And it works! For the price and updates, I had to go with this one over the others I've stumbled upon on the App Store. I have it on my iPhone and iPad, and I hope there is one for Mac as well. Great App!

Does a great job!. I was expecting it to be spotty on certain sites but have been pleasantly surprised with how well this has been working in Safari. I usually don’t leave reviews but this is certainly one I would recommend.

Best App Ever. Being very light sensitive and having other vision problems - this truly wonderful app is changing my internet life. Such a small price to pay for this (in my case) excellent accessibility feature. Thank-you for developing this jewel.

AMAZING. I’ve been waiting for dark mode for safari for FOREVER. Most of my scrolling is done at night, and having it be dark makes my eyes strain so much less. This app works PERFECTLY! Occasionally there’s a site that it doesn’t work on, but 99.9% of sites is a good bet for me. Well worth the $3.

Great, Not Cross Platform. Noir is the best Safari dark mode app that I've tried (especially for that perfect black OLED look). I've tried Dark Reader, Hyperweb, Nitefall, and Darker - Dark Mode for Safari. My principal complaint is that Noir is not cross platform. You have to buy Noir for each Apple Vision Pro, Mac, iPhone/iPad making this one of the most expensive options out there.

Please update with 17.4 ios. Buggy on the ios 17.4 . Does not automatically darken unless you close the site then run the same site again. Unfortunately it happens again when you go back to the same site after closing again. Its annoying.

Really cool app, but…. Maybe about half of the pages had problems loading or would constantly crash. Ultimately deleted the app after trying it for a few months. Maybe if I had a phone with greater processing power (I’m on an IPhone X). Love the idea of this app and really wish more websites offered a dark mode option. App is worth a try if you get tired of bright white sites, especially at night.

Fantastic extension. Works really well, including some smarts that will not stomp over a site’s built-in dark mode if one is provided. While it is a “set it and forget it” kind of extension, you will definitely miss it the instant you use a device or browser where it’s not available. Speaking of which, I’d love a version supporting Safari on the Mac. :)

Amazing! Should be built in!. This needs to be built into Safari! Developer is always quick to respond if you report a website that needs adjusting. Such a lifesaver during the night!!

Finally I can browse at night. Like many of you, I am a fan of laying down in bed on my phone before bed to browse the internet. The problem is when googling something or any page that is super white it kills the eyes even with brightness all the way down. No longer have to worry about this 🙌🏽

Buggy. This app causes several websites to reload themselves until you encounter the dreaded “A problem repeatedly occurred” error in Safari iOS. Disabling Noir off solves the problem but then why have Noir? I have no other Safari extensions on my phones. I hope they’re able to fix this annoying problem soon. Until then, I cannot recommend Noir. Update: The issue is related to the Safari Privacy & Security setting called “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” as Noir does in fact track its users’ web data which is a highly-concerning security issue.

Overall, it’s great. but.... I like the various options and easy usage of this application. However, there is a serious error. When the page is loaded, a white screen appears instantaneously. The screen looks like it's flashing. Because of this, there is no meaning of using this application. Therefore, I hope you improve this point. Thank you.

Essentially. Honestly this has changed the iPhone experience for me. Been using it for years now and it’s so seamless 99% of the time I don’t even notice that it’s working so well. At night it makes everything so enjoyable to view so it’s not crazy bright when you’re winding down for the evening. Well worth it.

Great and Useful App!. Noir works well at applying a dark theme on most websites and those it doesn’t work well on are usually fixed by the creator(s) when reported within due time. For websites that it “breaks” you can easily toggle it off at any time in the extensions section of Safari, extremely useful tool that makes websites look slicker and easier on the eyes.

Information tracking 0 stars. Despite paying for this app, the only way to use it is to enable a tracking feature which allows Noir to view your browser history potentially including sensitive information such a passwords or credit card info. Noir does not have a do not allow option and will simply not activate if the permissions are not allowed. I want my money back because I have never been able to use this app.

Works well, when it works. It appears to struggle with a number of websites, and when it does struggle, it makes the site practically impossible to read. Faded text or missing graphics entirely. Apple Pay logos look like blank white cards, fandom has all the colors turned light grey on a white background. Most sites it’s fine, but the lack of a one touch quick toggle adds frustration, along with needing to give redirected to the app to write an issue.

My eyes are saved!. This works very well especially for users whom read online constantly. Or for general use occasionally parts of google still stay white but overall it works with every website I have tried. Thanks for the very nice extension that saves my eyes!

Quite nearly perfect!. This extension does exactly what it says on the tin - no more, no less. The user interface is spot on intuitive. The developer seems to exhibit a truly keen interest in their product and is quite responsive to customer input and concerns. Well done!

Worth every penny!. This has been such a great app. I purchased it not long after it was released and take it for granted how great it is. It feels like it’s a natural part of Safari. I couldn’t go back to reading web content after sunset without this app, it’s a crucial part of my workflow. Just get it you will love it!
