About

iDimIt

Features
Read full description

Dim any website. Perfectly. Some websites are just too bright. iDimIt turns them dark. It works on every site you visit in Safari, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and it keeps the page looking like itself. Buttons still look like buttons, menus still look like menus, and your photos and videos keep their real colours. There is no white flash either. Pages arrive already dark, so you are not dazzled while one loads. CHOOSE HOW DARK - Four shades, from a gentle dark grey through to pure black - Pure black also uses less battery on iPhones with an OLED screen CHOOSE HOW DIM - Seven levels of extra dimming on top, for late nights and dark rooms - Or turn dimming off completely and just have dark mode IT SORTS ITSELF OUT - It spots sites that are already dark and leaves them alone - Text stays readable, so nothing vanishes into the background - It keeps working as you scroll and tap, including on sites that load more as you go - Menus, tables, buttons and search boxes all stay easy to see ON AT SUNSET, OFF AT SUNRISE - Let it follow the sun, or choose your own hours - It works out sunset on your device from your time zone, so it never asks where you are - Choose one look for the day and another for the night SET IT UP SITE BY SITE - Give any site its own settings - Turn iDimIt off on the sites you would rather leave alone - Some sites have a dark mode of their own. One tap and iDimIt uses theirs instead - If a site's pictures are the bright part, dim those too THREE ONE-TAP PRESETS Reading, Night and Focus set everything for you at once. PRIVATE No account. No adverts. No tracking. Nothing about your browsing ever leaves your device. Your settings can follow you between your own devices through iCloud. iDimIt is a Safari extension. Once you have installed it, switch it on in Safari's settings and choose which sites it is allowed to work on.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: iDimIt at none against Browser's shown. Browser's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and price ($1.99 vs $2.99). On in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
