Dark Surf vs Moonflower

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.

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.
