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! The app feels right at home on your device. It is a Safari extension, 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 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 a solo 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. • You can read Noir’s full Privacy Policy at https://getnoir.app/privacypolicy
"Safari detected an app or service that interfered with clicking."
The instructions for enabling Noir do not work. The only fix I can find for this involves restarting in safe mode. I have never had to do this before installing software on a modern Mac.
Perfect
Tried other dark readers for Safari. This is by far the best. Love the customizability in the app.
Nice, but too slow
Have been using Dark Reader, which has a few glitches but works pretty well, I decided to try Noir to see how it fares. It's basically unusable for me because my two most-used tabs that have Gmail loaded, and switching to either of these tabs can be measured in _seconds_ on an M1 Max macbook. There is some sort of efficiency issue here that Dark Reader doesn't suffer from.
Not as good as I'd hoped
Love the idea, but I end up having to turn it off more than I can use it. It's just not someting I want to deal with when I'm trying to get work done. I'm on an M! MBP using Safari. That said, I'm hopful it's a bit more consistant in the future and plan to check back.
Love this app!
I love to read at night before going to bed but there were certain news websites I would avoid because they don't have a dark mode option. With Noir, they do and it just works!
Doesn't work with Miro :(
Sadly, doesn't work with the thing I bought it for (Miro whiteboard tool).
Lower Safari speed 20%
When I turn on this extenstion my safari speed drops from 370 Mbps to 295 Mbps and the browsing becomes choppy. Tried the browser speed test ( Spedometer 0.2) more than 10 times and each time I got the same result. When I turn off the extenstion the speed increase from 295 Mbps to 370 Mbps immediatly.
Hi there! This update of Noir adds a set of great new features that make Noir more customizable than ever before! # Custom Themes You can now create your very own custom themes and tweak these exactly to your liking. You can change the background and text colors, and also set image dimming and (new in this update!) image grayscaling per theme. After you have created the perfect theme, it's really easy to share this theme with other users of Noir. Just send them the special link and when they open it on their device, they can import your theme and start using it immediately! Not the creative type? Don't worry, Noir now also comes with a library of over 20 pre-made themes that you can now add with just a single tap. # Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts You can now tweak which specific key combinations are used for Noir's keyboard shortcuts. And that's not all, because there are also many new keyboard shortcuts that you can set up, including ones for switching Noir's theme and disabling Noir until tomorrow. # Website Fixes & Improvements As always, this update also includes many fixes and improvements based on your reports. Thank you so much for sending these in and helping me improve Noir! This update was directly inspired by your input and feedback, so thank you so much! I hope you like the new features. Update 2022.2.3 fixes an issue that would sometimes prevent custom keyboard shortcuts from saving, and as always, includes more website fixes and improvements. If you like Noir, please consider leaving a review of Noir in the App Store! That really does help a lot! Jeffrey
