SaaS Metrics
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.

Community Voice & Feedback
Very good app! Some apps and or websites might not fully go dark but it’s okay I don’t mind a little white here and there. Overall it’s a great app!!!!
i love this app. it works smoothly and well, no issues. does what i want and nothing i don't want. bonus: cute icon. can't ask for better in my book.
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.

It does less than you can already do on iphone using display & text size option
This is the best and works very well, I love the CRT theme
It’s great. Works like magic. The few times it doesn’t detect a website’s dark mode, it’s a simple switch to toggle it off. Love the editor themes (though I think the colors seem a little off for some of them than I’m used to in editors). Got the Mac app too.
Constantly having to disable on a majority of sites due to poor color mode detection and loading issues. Great when it works but that's not often.
Use it regularly
honestly perfect for safari. also happy that it was only a onetime payment for the whole experience
This app, while effective, prevent safari from loading some pages and radically slowing down load times.
This app used to work very well and I happily paid to support it. Now I find myself turning it off so frequently that I’ll likely uninstall it soon.
This does exactly what it says it does. Easy to use, out of the way, service and forget it situation. Love it
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.

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 :)
