Web Tweaker is a set of small, independent fixes for Safari on iPhone and iPad. Turn on the ones you want; each works on every website, and each is its own switch. BLOCK ADS A native Safari content blocker built from EasyList, EasyPrivacy and Peter Lowe’s list stops ads, trackers and analytics before they load, and the extension hides leftover ad slots. No slowdown: blocking happens inside Safari’s own engine. Scores 100% on the adblock.turtlecute.org test. BLOCK YOUTUBE ADS Video ads, promoted videos and banners are removed before the player sees them. An ad that still plays is skipped. BETTER YOUTUBE PLAYER Swipe down on a video for Picture in Picture, like the app. Fullscreen uses the native player, so leaving Safari hands the video to Picture in Picture. Background playback you can resume from the lock screen or Control Center. Highest available quality. DARK MODE FOR EVERY SITE A real dynamic dark theme, not a colour filter. Photos, videos, logos and brand colours stay as they are; sites that are already dark are left alone; pages never flash white. READER MODE AUTOMATICALLY Article pages open in a clean reader view the moment they load: headline, byline, text and pictures. One tap shows the original page. HIDE “GET THE APP” PROMPTS YouTube, X, Reddit and others stop pushing you into their apps. The banners and sheets are dismissed, the “Open app” buttons hidden, app links stay in Safari. Google’s “AI Mode” promo and the “Sign in with Google” pop-up go too. OPEN MAPS IN YOUR NAV APP Google Maps links and the “Directions” buttons in Google Search open in Apple Maps or Waze. Sponsored results too. COOKIE BANNERS, ANSWERED Consent prompts are rejected (or accepted, your choice) for you, including the ones inside iframes. CLEAN LINKS utm_, fbclid, gclid and similar tracking parameters are removed from links. UNBLOCK COPY AND RIGHT-CLICK Copy, paste, select text and open menus on sites that disable them. STOP AUTOPLAYING MEDIA Videos and audio that start on their own are paused. PRIVACY Everything runs on your device. No account, no tracking, no data collected.

About

Black Keyboard

Read full description

Black Keyboard is a pure black replacement for the iOS keyboard. Not a theme, not a skin over the system keyboard. Same layout, same behavior as the keyboard already on your phone, with true black keys instead of Apple's grey, and an optional bold weight for even more contrast. White on true black is the most contrast a screen can render. There's also a large setting that grows the letters to fill each key, for when the standard size is smaller than you want to read. NO NETWORK The app does not and cannot access the network. It never asks for Full Access, the permission a keyboard would need before it could send anything anywhere. The only thing Black Keyboard remembers is a short list of words you've told it to stop correcting. It stays on your device, and the app has a button to clear it. No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No in-app purchases. FREE Black Keyboard is free, and this is the whole app. There's no trial, no paywall and nothing to unlock. OUR OWN AUTOCORRECT AND SWIPE-TO-TYPE Apple doesn't make its own autocorrect or gesture-typing engines available to any third-party keyboard. Not this one, not any other. So we built both ourselves: autocorrect that backs off the moment you reject a suggestion and stays out of your way on that word from then on, and swipe-to-type for gliding between letters instead of tapping each one. Either can be switched off on its own if you'd rather type the plain way. TRUE BLACK, NOT DARK GREY Apple's dark keyboard is a dark grey backdrop with lighter grey keys. Black Keyboard's backdrop is true black, with near-black keycaps and white letters. On an OLED iPhone, true black pixels are switched off entirely, so the keyboard draws less power and throws no glow in a dark room. SET UP IN UNDER A MINUTE Install it like any keyboard: Settings → General → Keyboard → Keyboards → Add New Keyboard, then choose Black Keyboard and switch to it with the globe key. Bold or regular, normal or large, and that is all there is to set. Built for iPhone and iPad, iOS 16 and later.
