Noir - Dark Mode for Safari
Browse better at night
USD 3.99
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
more I sampled a few Safari dark mode apps, and Noir stood out as the clear winner. It’s simple to use, works seamlessly, and even syncs settings across all my devices—which makes it perfect for my setup. The only thing I wish for is a bit more flexibility: the ability to customize settings per device. For example, I’d love to keep dark mode on my phone but use light mode on my laptop. Haven’t been able to figure a simple solution yet, just toggling and remembering to toggle back. Anyway, Get the app! Won’t regret.
Developer Response Thank you so much for your kind review! Your default settings are always specific to a single device. And if you don’t want website settings to sync across devices, you can disable iCloud sync in the Noir app.

The latest update of iPadOS, iPadOS 26.4, brings back a Safari feature: compact tab bar. Unfortunately, it contains a bug that causes Safari to crash when you try to open the Noir menu (or any other extension).
With this update, Noir now detects when you have the compact tab bar enabled, and if so, shows a warning when you try to open the Noir menu. Changing back your setting to the default separate tab bar will restore the Noir menu again.
I'm really sorry about this. Unfortunately the crash is inside iPadOS, and beyond my control. I hope the bug gets fixed soon. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out to me through the Contact Support button inside the Noir app.
If you enjoy using Noir, please consider leaving a review for the app on the App Store! It really helps spread the word!

PS: If you're on iPhone, this doesn't affect you, as the bug is iPad-only.

Hi there! I'm happy to introduce the latest version of Noir. If you enjoy Noir, please consider leaving a review for the app on the App Store!
# Advanced Appearance Options
Noir now includes new advanced appearance options that let you fine-tune how Noir's dark theme looks on a website. You can disable dynamic colors, hide all background images, and disable image inversion. To keep Noir as simple as possible for users who don't need these options, you first have to enable these new options in the Advanced Settings inside the Noir app. After that, you can adjust these settings for any website from the Noir menu in Safari. And of course, all changes you make will automatically be synced with all your devices using iCloud.
For more information about the available options, see “About advanced appearance options” in the Noir app.
# Report incorrectly detected built-in dark modes
You can now report incorrectly detected built-in dark modes directly from the Noir menu in Safari. You can choose to send reports automatically, be asked each time, or never send reports at all. Reports you send will be used to improve Noir for all users.
# Improved instructions for new users
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already set up the Noir extension. But for new users, the onboarding has been improved to help people get started with Noir as quickly and as easily as possible.
# Website fixes & improvements
As always, this update also includes many fixes and improvements based on the website reports that you have sent in. Thank you so much for helping me make Noir as good as possible!
- 2026.1.1: More website fixes and improvements
Thank you so much for using Noir! As mentioned, please consider leaving a review for Noir in the App Store. It really helps spread the word!
When developing Noir, I always try to balance keeping the app simple for new users while making it powerful enough for more advanced users. The new advanced appearance options offer more ways than ever to tweak Noir’s dark theme. If you’re a power user of Noir (or an aspiring one!), I hope you’ll enjoy them, without making the app unnecessarily complex for everyone else. Your feedback is always appreciated!
