Moonflower gives every website a beautiful dark mode in Safari — designed to feel like it was always meant to be there. Create your own themes with exactly the colors you want, and fine-tune every website individually: its own theme, its own on/off rule, its own exceptions. Most sites still don't offer a dark theme. Moonflower fixes that: its engine reads each page's actual colors and generates a tailor-made dark theme on the fly, so text stays crisp, images stay natural, and nothing looks washed out or inverted. DARK MODE, DONE PROPERLY • Works on every website, automatically • Dynamic colors: a custom dark theme generated per site — not a crude filter • Respects sites that already have a dark mode (or override them if you prefer) • Smart image handling: photos stay untouched, bright diagrams and logos are gently adapted • Flash-free page loads — pages paint dark from the first moment DESIGN YOUR OWN THEMES • Six hand-tuned themes to start: Black, Dark, Gray, Sepia, Paper, Focus • Create unlimited custom themes — pick your exact background and text colors • Fine-tune image brightness, grayscale, and sepia per theme • Edit with a live preview on a real article, so you see every change instantly FINE-TUNE EVERY WEBSITE • Auto, On, or Off — globally or per site • Give each website its own theme • Pause a site until tomorrow with one tap • Ignore a site's built-in dark mode when yours looks better • Keyboard shortcuts for toggling, cycling themes, and pausing A READER BUILT IN • One tap turns any article into a clean, beautiful reading view • Apple Books-style themes — each with a light and dark variant • Adjustable text size, and your custom reader themes come along EVERYWHERE YOU BROWSE • iPhone, iPad, and Mac • iCloud sync keeps your themes and site settings identical on all your devices PRIVATE BY DESIGN Moonflower collects no data. Which sites you visit never leaves your device — all darkening happens locally, with no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. FAIR PRICING Free for 3 days, full-featured. Then a single one-time purchase unlocks Moonflower forever, on all your devices. No subscription.
