What makes it different

The website’s own dark theme comes first. Many websites already have a dark design that only shows when the device is in Dark Mode. Dimlight switches it on at any time, so the page looks the way its designers intended.
Photos keep their true colors. When a website has no dark theme, Dimlight recolors backgrounds, text and borders. It never puts a filter over the whole page, so photos, video and logos are untouched.
No white flash. Dimlight remembers how it handled each website and paints a dark background before the page appears.
Yours to tune, for free. Five styles (Dim, Black for OLED screens, Soft, Warm and Midnight), background and text contrast sliders, per-site choices, and an option to follow the device’s Dark Mode.
Private by design. Everything happens on the device. Dimlight never sends anything about the websites you visit.

100 words

Dimlight is a free Safari extension that makes every website dark on iPhone, iPad and Mac. When a website has its own dark theme, Dimlight turns it on, even while the device is in Light Mode. When it doesn’t, Dimlight darkens the page itself: light backgrounds turn dark and dark text turns light, while photos, videos and logos keep their true colors. Websites that are already dark are left alone. People can pick from five styles, adjust contrast, and choose Auto, Always dark or Off for each website. Dimlight works entirely on the device and collects no data.
