Using Safari at night gets easier with Noir

For power users and people who like to tweak their devices, the arrival of Safari Extensions in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is a huge step forward.

Dan has already written about Safari Keyword Search , which lets you quickly access different search engines from within Safari’s Smart Bar. (On my Mac, I use LaunchBar to do this sort of thing—but of course, there’s no LaunchBar for iOS. Safari Keyword Search hits the spot.)

So now I’m here to tell you about another Safari Extension released alongside iOS 15 that has dramatically improved my life: Noir , a $3 app that forces websites that don’t offer up a Dark Mode version into Dark Mode anyway. You can set Noir to match your current system mode (i.e., only darken pages when in Dark Mode), or force every page into Dark Mode all the time.

I read on my iPad a lot, sometimes late at night, and it kills me when everything else on my iPad is in dark mode but some websites just can’t get with the program. With Noir enabled, almost very site I visit is delightfully dark. (By default, Noir doesn’t override a site if it has its own Dark Mode style, though you can choose to override that if it isn’t dark enough for your tastes. All of Noir’s features can be overridden on a per-site basis.)

Not every site I visited worked perfectly with Noir—a couple sites that do all sorts of hinky things, like overriding command-clicks that open links in a new tab, also seem to do weird stuff that foils Noir some of the time. But the developer has a helpful Report Issue With this Website button right within the extension, so there’s hope that those sites will be dealt with in a future update.

Though I haven’t tried it, there’s another extension, the $5 Dark Reader , that does the same thing, more or less. The current version doesn’t seem to match the system theme, but the developer says an update is forthcoming that will do just that.

But I am loving Noir so far. Funny thing—many of the websites that don’t offer a Dark Mode also don’t offer one in their iOS apps. I’m now reading them at night on the web instead of in their apps, because it’s just so much nicer in the dark. I can’t wait to see what Safari Extension changes my life for the better in the future! (C’mon, Library Extension …)

About Noir - Dark Mode for Safari

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, 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

This Mac app for Safari adds a dark mode to every website you visit

The Noir Safari extension is perfect for those who prefer to work in dark mode.

Mac - Free (In-App Purchases)

Want more apps? Check out our hand-picked lists:

- Best iPhone apps - Best iPad apps - Best macOS apps - Best Apple Watch apps

If you ever find the bright glare from your Mac’s screen a little too intense or headache-inducing, then today’s app is for you. Noir is a Mac app and Safari extension that adds a dark mode to every website you visit. And, because it works as a Safari extension, you don’t need to activate it when you load a new page.

Creating a dark mode for every single website you visit isn’t easy considering they all have different styles and are built on different platforms. But Noir is able to generate a custom dark style for every website you visit, which is based on the colors that are used on each page. Noir costs $3.99/£3.99 from the Mac App Store, but that’s not a subscription, buy it once and you have it forever. 

How does Noir for Safari work?

The cool part about Noir is that you won’t even notice it’s performing its dark magic. It works incredibly fast and the end result is a dark mode that’s tailored for each website. You’ll find that contrast between the different shades is preserved and any highlights on the page still pop. However, there are built-in themes to choose from, as well as the ability to create your own, which means you can tailor your results to exactly how you want them.

Noir will automatically work with any site you visit when you’re using the Safari browser. And, by default, it’s linked up to your Mac’s Dark Mode settings, which means that sites will only go dark when you’ve programmed them to. You can also quickly change these settings to your liking, even customizing them per website. So if you only want to use Noir on certain websites, that’s completely possible. If you want to disable it on others, that’s easy too.

Switching on dark mode is perfect for night-time working and means you won’t be startled by a bright white screen. But even though the app is created for better browsing at night, I also sometimes prefer dark mode settings during the day, too. Especially if I’m working in a cafe with low light, or if I can feel a migraine brewing and need to do everything I can to reduce the glare of the screen before I can lock myself in a dark room.

Tags: Apple | web browser

Safari, a distinguished web browser, stands as Apple Inc.’s brainchild, crafted to redefine the digital browsing experience. In the pantheon of Apple’s innovative creations, Safari shines as a key player, conceived under the visionary guidance of co-founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. As the browser unfolds its capabilities, it becomes evident that its primary theatre of operation lies within the Apple ecosystem. This strategic focus enables Safari to deliver an unparalleled browsing experience on devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The browser’s deep integration with Apple’s hardware and software is a testament to its commitment to offering a streamlined, secure, and highly efficient web navigation experience. The elegance and simplicity of Safari’s interface, combined with its robust performance, exemplify Apple’s dedication to user-centric design and innovation.

Meaning and history

Safari, the brainchild of Apple Inc., embarked on its digital voyage in January 2003. This marked a pivotal moment in Apple’s history , as the company, led by Steve Jobs and his co-founders, shifted from dependency on external browsers to forging its own path in web navigation. Safari’s journey is highlighted by several landmark achievements. In 2008, the introduction of the Nitro JavaScript engine revolutionized web browsing speed, setting new performance benchmarks. Safari was also at the forefront of advocating for HTML5, pushing the boundaries of web technology. The browser’s unwavering commitment to user privacy, exemplified by features like Intelligent Tracking Prevention, has been a game-changer in safeguarding user data. Presently, Safari is more than a browser; it’s an integral part of Apple’s digital ecosystem, constantly evolving with updates in iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. It’s current standing in the tech world is a blend of relentless innovation, a focus on enhancing user interfaces and maintaining a fortress of security and privacy, making it a top choice among Apple aficionados.

What is Safari? Safari is a web browser designed by Apple Inc., offering a secure, efficient, and user-friendly internet navigation experience. Primarily tailored for Apple’s ecosystem, it embodies a blend of speed, privacy, and seamless integration across devices like iPhones, Macs, and iPads.

2007 – 2013

For Safari’s introduction on the original operating system, the logo was conceptualized as a square compass, blending traditional navigation symbols with modern design. The corners of this compass were gently rounded, and it featured intricate circular markings denoting the cardinal points through fine gradations. These were represented by almost dot-sized strokes and serifed capital letters, each encased in a dark blue circle. The backdrop of the dial was artistically rendered as a map of the world, with a particular focus on the Americas, and the arrows pointed in a northeast direction. This specific design choice was tailored for iPhone OS 1 and continued through iOS versions up to 6, encapsulating a phase in the evolution of mobile technology.

2013 – 2017

Following an update, the logo’s design was streamlined to embrace simplicity. The designers opted to remove the square background, the map, and the letter symbols, as well as the central decorative elements, focusing solely on the compass dial. This resulted in a 2D design, accentuated by striking red and white arrows. The design also saw the introduction of a blue gradient, a departure from the previous tonal circle, lending a fresh, modern feel. This redesign was characteristic of iOS versions 7 to 10, marking a distinct chapter in the visual identity of the platform.

2017 – Today

The advent of iOS 11 brought with it a refreshed logo for the web browser, albeit with subtle modifications. The designers chose to eliminate the white background and the gray square frame, subtly shifting the arrow to the left and reducing its ends. This was complemented by a transition to a pastel color palette, softening the overall aesthetic and aligning it with contemporary design trends. These minor yet impactful changes symbolized a continued evolution in digital branding, reflective of the subtle shifts in user interface design philosophy.

2003 – 2014

The original incarnation of the logo showcased a compass, meticulously crafted to exude a lifelike presence. This symbol of navigation was encased within an expansive, lustrous silver frame, its surface dancing with light, casting reflections and glares that brought a dynamic gloss to both the metallic rim and the glass. The compass itself was artfully tilted to the left, while its needle, defying this orientation, pointed steadfastly to the right. This creative juxtaposition served as a metaphor for the system’s inherent ability to recalibrate and guide users back to the correct path, no matter their deviations. This iconic logo adorned a variety of devices, spanning an era from Mac OS X Panther all the way to Mavericks, marking a significant period in technological aesthetics.

2014 – 2020

In a bold move, Apple redefined its browser’s identity, drawing inspiration from the sleek, minimalist design language of iOS 7. The logo underwent a transformation, shedding its realistic roots for a more abstract, print-friendly avatar. It now portrayed only the compass dial, captured from an overhead perspective, emphasizing a clean, front-facing view. The arrow, true to its original direction, subtly pointed to the northeast, albeit under a lesser angle. The design was simplified further by omitting the cardinal points’ lettering, opting instead for a nuanced approach with gradations indicated by strokes of varying lengths. Added to this was a faint framing edge and a central line that cleaved the arrow, lending it a subtle three-dimensional effect. This evolved icon became a signature element of macOS Catalina and its earlier versions, symbolizing a new era in digital navigation.

2020 – Today

The logo’s most recent update introduced a background for the compass – a muted, light gray square with softly rounded corners. This alteration marked a departure from previous designs, as the gradient that once adorned the dial was removed, and the compass hand was refined to a more delicate, thinner profile. This change signaled a shift towards subtlety and minimalism, reflecting a contemporary aesthetic that values understated elegance.

Tim Cook is about to reveal Apple's plan to dominate the internet for another decade

• A 2005 deal between Apple and Google changed the way Americans use the internet.
• Apple may soon reveal a new arrangement that could do the same for the AI era.
• Tim Cook is expected to announce a partnership with OpenAI at WWDC to bring ChatGPT to iPhones.

When Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone in 2007, it was a landmark moment in Apple's history that involved the CEO of another Silicon Valley company: Google.

Eric Schmidt , Google's leader at the time, joined Jobs onstage at the Macworld conference as a symbol of the growing bond between their companies. In 2005, Apple and Google had struck a deal to make Mountain View's search engine the default option on the Mac's Safari browser.

The iPhone put Google front and center as the core search tool on the device Apple was betting its future on. It's a tie-up that has arguably determined who's dominated America's internet ever since.

As iPhones grew in popularity across the US, Google's reach spread too, giving an already dominant search engine more exposure.

The deal is now at the heart of a US antitrust lawsuit filed against Google in 2020, but it's shaped how Americans experienced the internet and has been extremely lucrative for Apple: Google paid $20 billion in 2022 to maintain the deal.

Now, Apple is preparing to reveal its plans to dominate the internet again — with the help of another Silicon Valley company.

Apple's plan to dominate the internet, again

On Monday, when CEO Tim Cook kicks off Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference , he's expected to unveil a new vision of artificial intelligence by announcing a partnership with OpenAI.

Related stories

Bloomberg reported Wednesday that Apple is all but set to announce that the ChatGPT maker's technology will be integrated into the iPhone operating system.

For Apple, the partnership is a bold attempt to bring generative-AI features to its devices after months of questions from investors, developers, and others about its plans to get in on Silicon Valley's most-talked-about technology.

Though Apple typically keeps its plans secret, there's been a growing sense that the company was falling behind on AI . Rivals like Google and Meta have charged ahead with their own AI models, while Microsoft partnered with OpenAI as early as 2019.

But by bringing an incumbent AI player like OpenAI into its mix, Apple hopes it can shape a new internet experience for iPhone users in the AI era.

In a research note, Wedbush analysts wrote that this year's WWDC could be "the most important event for Apple in over a decade as the pressure to bring a generative AI stack of technology for developers and consumers" grows.

For OpenAI, the deal would give it access to one of the most powerful distribution systems in the world, as there are more than a billion active iPhone users.

Time will tell if the deal is as fruitful as Apple's search-engine agreement with Google. Though OpenAI has emerged as the face of the generative-AI boom thanks to the early-mover advantage it gained from ChatGPT's release in November 2022, it's also been mired in controversy.

No done deal

The ChatGPT maker's AI has been criticized for making critical errors and being prone to "hallucinations," bringing its reliability into question. The company has also been the subject of controversy, as CEO Sam Altman has come under fire from former employees over safety issues.

It's worth noting that neither company has confirmed the deal yet. It was previously reported that Apple had been in discussions with Google over an AI partnership, but OpenAI appears to have earned its favor.

One thing is certain: Apple is about to pitch the world on its plans to dominate the internet in the AI age.

Correction: June 6, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated the length of OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft. It started in 2019, not 2023.

Last-minute leak reveals everything Apple plans to announce at WWDC 2024

If you buy through a BGR link, we may earn an affiliate commission, helping support our expert product labs.

WWDC 2024 kicks off on Monday. A last-minute leak reveals all the main features Apple is expected to unveil during its developer conference. It’s important to note that MacRumors and AppleInsider have shared most of the details, and now Bloomberg is corroborating several of them.

Cupertino will call its AI efforts Apple Intelligence , but it will also announce a partnership with OpenAI to power ChatGPT-like chatbot. Unlike other players, Apple will focus its AI efforts on how they can ease the daily lives of customers, so image and video generation won’t be something that we’ll see during the conference.

This WWDC 2024 leak also reveals that Apple’s AI features will require an iPhone 15 Pro and the newer iPhone 16 models when unveiled later this year. M1 Mac and iPad models will also be required for the latest AI functions.

As previously highlighted by BGR , these are some of the AI features Apple will introduce during WWDC 2024, per Gurman’s leak:

• Summarization: Quickly recap articles and web pages in Safari, meeting notes, text messages, emails, and notifications;
• Smart Reply: The iPhone will create fully fleshed-out responses to emails and text messages;
• Siri: A revamp of the personal assistant is coming thanks to new large language models; Siri will be able to delete an email, edit a photo, or summarize a news article. In the future, it might allow third-party apps to integrate with the personal assistant;
• Xcode: Like Microsoft GitHub Copilot, Apple will let developers complete code using AI; this will likely arrive next year;
• Mail: Apple plans a Gmail-like feature to automatically categorize incoming messages;
• AI-created emoji: AI will be used to create custom emoji characters;
• Voice Memos: Thanks to AI, the app will automatically transcribe recordings;
• Photos app: Apple will use AI to create new photo editing capabilities, enhance an image, remove a person or object from the frame, and more.

WWDC 2024 leak reveals other software improvements coming

For example, iOS 18 will allow users to rearrange the Home Screen by placing apps wherever they want, as well as add a custom color to app icons. The Control Center will also have an updated interface to rearrange icons and place them across multiple pages.

A long-awaited Passwords app is coming in addition to changes for Calculator, Calendar, and Health apps. Apple is also planning new wallpaper packs, including options that look similar to early ones on the iPhone. watchOS 11 and visionOS 2 are expected to be fairly minor upgrades, with the latter bringing new environments and Vision Pro versions of iPad software.

Both help out a ton with spreading the word! Jeffrey

Ratings and Reviews

I have tried many dark mode extensions..

And this is one of the 2 best ones, it's worth the money. The only negative thing about it is that you need to purchase the iOS version separately. The other best one cost £2.99 (called Dark mode for safari) and it works on both iOS and macOS. But this one is not as clever as Noir as it doesn't recognise websites with dark-mode already on so it makes the websites white (dark dark = white). But this one has an e-ink mode which is unique and very good for reading. I'm using both of these extensions, Noir is better for dark-mode but i use the other one for e-ink on reading sites.

Does exactly as expected

Used NItefall and found that it had some graphical errors on Google Calendar. After speaking with the creator of this app I decided to buy. Using it for two days now and it works flawlessly on virtually every site. There are a few issues here and there, particuarly when viewing pages that have blakc and white photos but I doubt you'd be able to do much about that and it certainly doesn't affect functionality for me. Cannot recommend enough if you need a dark mode for the sites you visit!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your review! I’m happy to hear you’re satisfied with the app!

Invaluable! Should be pre-installed on every Mac

Amazing extension. The Noir iOS app has drastically improved my interaction with the internet day to day and benefitted several people I've recommended it to. The Mac app is just as good, arguably better considering how blindingly more white emits from a large monitor than a phone. Massive thanks for this Jeffrey - sleek and minimal interface, perfect performance, does exactly what I wanted. I almost feel the one time tiny fee is theft - would happily pay you a yearly subscription for the continuing daily value your iOS/macOS app provides!

Thank you so much for review, and for spreading the word! I really appreciate it a lot!
