Dark Surf vs Real Downtime

Dark Surf gives Safari a thoughtful dark mode for every website. Instead of painting over pages, Dark Surf reads each site’s own design and rebuilds it in the dark. Backgrounds and cards turn deep and calm, text stays crisp, and the colors that carry meaning, like buttons, links, warnings and highlights, keep their character. Photos stay natural. SMART BY DEFAULT • Leaves websites that already have a dark design alone • Keeps dark logos, icons and formulas visible • Keeps text on top of photos readable • Handles modern websites built with CSS variables, Tailwind, Bootstrap and web components MAKE IT YOURS • Six themes: Midnight, Ocean, Dim, Warm, Graphite and true-black AMOLED • Build your own palette from any colors • Fine-tune brightness and contrast, and choose how images look • See every change instantly in a live preview that runs Safari’s own Dark Surf engine YOUR RULES • Switch any website between Dark, Invert and Off right from Safari • Keep lists of websites that are always dark, inverted or never themed • Follow a schedule or your device’s Dark Mode, or pause for an hour PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pages are recolored on your device. Dark Surf has no account, no analytics, no ads and no tracking, and never sends the pages you visit to anyone. Dark Surf is a Safari extension. After installing, turn it on in Settings › Apps › Safari › Extensions. The app shows you how.

Real Downtime is a parental tool that blocks the apps you choose, on a weekly schedule, on your own device or on your child's iPhone or iPad. Outside the hours you set, blocked apps stay blocked with no "one more minute" option. Enforcement runs entirely on the device, so it holds on Wi-Fi, on cellular, on VPN, offline, and after a restart. No account needed and no data collected, completely private. FEATURES - Choose any apps, app categories, or websites to limit. - Per-day schedules with multiple time windows (grouped by weekday/weekend, or set individually on each day of the week). - A clean block screen with no "one more minute" option. - Temporary parent override: allow 15, 30, or 60 minutes on the spot (e.g. at a restaurant), then it re-blocks automatically. - A 6-digit parent passcode that protects every setting. - Fully on-device: no data collected, no analytics, no tracking. Set it up once and it just works.
