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.

Less blue light. A darker iPhone at night. Night Screen brings your night display controls into one place. Combine warmer colors and extra dimming to go darker than the brightness slider alone, or choose a custom red display for nighttime reading and scrolling. MIDNIGHT: LESS BLUE LIGHT, DEEPER DIMMING Midnight combines minimum brightness, Reduce White Point and Night Shift. Night Shift warms colors to reduce blue light; Reduce White Point lowers the intensity of bright colors for extra dimming. Your saved iPhone preferences control the effect. RED TINT: MORE THAN WARMER COLORS Choose a red display across apps. The guide helps you set a red Color Tint in Settings with your preferred hue and intensity. Red Tint reuses your saved Color Filters with Reduce White Point and low brightness, with Night Shift off. YOUR NIGHT CONTROLS, TOGETHER • Switch between Midnight and Red Tint after guided setup. • Apply your chosen display mode across apps. • Fine-tune brightness with the in-app slider. • No ads and no Night Screen account required. Night mode for Safari Darken bright web pages with natural, warm or red light and extra dimming. Switch the effect off per site. Enable the included Safari extension in Settings and allow website access. Results vary by website. Room-matched brightness An optional brief camera check adjusts brightness to room light. Run a check yourself or enable it when a mode turns on. Slider changes afterward teach preferences for similar lighting. Camera permission is required; no images are saved or sent. SET UP ONCE, REUSE EVERY NIGHT Add the included NightScreen Modes shortcut to Apple's Shortcuts app, then activate your chosen mode from Night Screen. Both modes require Shortcuts; Red Tint also needs one-time Color Filters setup in Settings. Turning off night mode disables Night Shift, Color Filters and Reduce White Point and sets brightness to 40%. Appearance depends on your iPhone and saved settings; automatic brightness or schedules can change it. Preview illustrations show appearance, not measured light levels. SUBSCRIPTIONS Monthly and annual plans include Safari night mode, room-matched brightness, Midnight and Red Tint. An active subscription or trial is required for these features and installing the mode shortcut. Eligible new subscribers get a 14-day free trial. Turning night mode off is always free, even after expiry, including reset shortcut repair. Guides and the brightness slider are free. Safari and the Match brightness now control work without Shortcuts. Local prices are shown before purchase. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial or billing period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in Settings under your Apple Account's Subscriptions.
