Description

Noir 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 Noir, you won’t be blinded by bright websites ever again. And the results look great too. Noir generates a custom dark style for each website you visit, based on the colors that are used on a page. You won’t even notice this happening in the background – that’s how fast it is – but you’ll certainly appreciate the end result: a beautiful dark mode tailored for each website, where contrast is preserved and highlights still pop. And with over 20 built-in themes and the ability to create your own, you can customize the results exactly the way you want. Noir works with any website you visit in Safari, automatically. By default, Noir is linked to your device’s Dark Mode, so websites will only go dark when you want them to. But you can easily customize this to your liking, even per website. Only want to use Noir on just a few specific websites? Sure thing! Disable Noir on some websites? No problem! Built from the ground up for iOS and iPadOS, the app feels right at home on your device. It supports the brand new Safari web extension feature, which means there’s no need to manually activate it every time you load a new page. The app also tightly integrates with system features such as Shortcuts, Control Center, Focus Filters, and Widgets to fully integrate Noir in all your workflows. And your settings are automatically synced to all your devices using iCloud. And just as importantly, Noir takes your privacy seriously: it doesn’t collect any of your browsing data. Period. Noir is made by an indie iOS developer. It does not include any subscriptions or ads. Buy Noir once, use it forever. Notes: • Found a website where Noir’s dark mode doesn’t look just right? Let me know by reporting it. The app will be frequently updated to address issues that are reported. Privacy Policy: • The Noir extension requires access to the websites you visit to analyze the existing style of the page and to override it with Noir's dark style. • Noir never collects your browsing data. The only data Noir ‘collects’ are your settings, and those will never leave your device or iCloud account. • You can read Noir’s full Privacy Policy at https://getnoir.app/privacypolicy

  • Excellent Dark Mode for Safari!

    I’ve tried out several dark mode apps for Safari on my iPhone and Noir has been the best yet! Highly recommend to anyone that could benefit from webpages being darkened at night.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Slows page loads to a crawl

    Pages take forever to load with this extension activated.

  • Have to buy Mac version separately

    Great app. Works like it should. But I don’t like that I have to buy it again to use it on my macbook

  • An Honest Advertisement?

    Put simply, Noir delivers *exactly* what it promises. I mean, what more could you ask for? You can't. Actually, that doesn't do this developer, or his extension, justice—Noir flawlessly executes *EXACTLY* what it claims to do. Seamless integration into Safari. It offers the perfect amount of customization, striking a balance between overwhelming and insulting. Honestly, it's a beautiful, and increasingly rare, thing to see.

  • Great tool

    An incredible tool to get dark mode on all websites, genuinely impressive how well this plugin works.

  • This works but seems to slow down loading times

    This app definitely makes Safari pages dark even if they don’t support Dark Mode. But it does seem to slow down either loading or rendering of pages.

  • 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.

  • I prefer Noir - for my special eyes. Thank you

    This app saves me day. I have ocular graft versus host disease which makes dark reading a must for me. I’ve been using this for over a year and I love it.
