Select from multiple color theme presets or create your own by customizing background and text colors. Enable or disable Dark Reader for specific websites, automatically sync with system dark mode, or detect already dark websites and leave them unchanged. Developed by the original creators of Dark Reader. Since 2014, we continuously evolve alongside modern web technologies to deliver fast and reliable dark mode support for people sensitive to bright light.

Threadspore

Threadspore is one warm, simple home for your volunteers: conversations, to-dos, events, files, and polls, all in one place, under your organization's own name and colors. Simple enough for every volunteer. Threads read like the group texts already on everyone's phone, so nobody learns a new way to talk. There are no passwords to forget: people sign in with a six-digit code sent to their email. Big text, gentle screens, and no noisy notifications. What is in it: - Chat: threaded conversations for each team, with @mentions that reach the people who need them. - To-dos: see who is doing what, and tick things off as they get done. - Events and a shared calendar: post a gathering on a team and it lands on your whole organization's calendar. - Files and photos: keep the sign-up sheet where everyone can find it. - Polls: settle the date without a reply-all. - Your group, your portal: your logo, your colors, your name. Threadspore is invite-only. You join with a link or a printed QR code from an organization that already uses it; there is nothing to set up on your end. Organizations can ask to join the beta at threadspore.com. Made by volunteers, not venture capital. No ads, ever. No data mining: your people's information is theirs, and we never sell it. No dark patterns. Small, independent, and made by people who spend their own weekends volunteering too.
