Moonflower
Read full descriptionHide full description
Moonflower gives every website a beautiful dark mode in Safari ā 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā 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 ā 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.
Dipole ck

Dipole shows you how much data you are really using ā separated by cellular and Wi-Fi, by download and upload, for today and for your entire billing period. A PERIOD THAT MATCHES YOUR PLAN Most data counters can do one thing: reset on the 1st of the month. Dipole does both. ⢠Monthly on any day you choose, from 1 to 31 ⢠By number of days ā 7, 28, 30 or whatever your plan uses, starting from a date you pick This is exactly where most apps fall short: prepaid plans almost never follow the calendar month. A 28-day bundle drifts forward a little every month. Dipole follows that drift and always shows you the real current period, the days remaining and the date of the next reset. THE OVERVIEW Two large tiles, one for cellular and one for Wi-Fi, each showing: ⢠Today's usage, split into download and upload ⢠Total usage in the current period ⢠Daily average ⢠A forecast for the end of the period, based on your last 30 days ⢠Data remaining until your limit Below that you see at a glance when the last reset happened, when the next one is due and how many days are left. STATISTICS Bar charts by day, month and year. Filter by connection (all, Wi-Fi, cellular) and by direction (all, uploads, downloads), with total, average and maximum. Page back as far as Dipole has data. LIMITS AND WARNINGS Enter your data limit for cellular and Wi-Fi in MB or GB. Dipole shows a progress ring and a bar, and sends you a notification when you reach two freely chosen percentage thresholds of your cellular limit ā say 80 % and 95 %. Each warning is sent once per period, not more. WIDGETS Five home screen widgets: Today's Usage, Current Period, Remaining Data, Next Reset, and a configurable Overview widget where you choose whether it shows cellular, Wi-Fi or both. WHAT DIPOLE DOES FOR FREE ⢠Full tracking, permanently and in the background ⢠The complete overview with both tiles, every figure and the reset dates ⢠Statistics for the last 21 days ⢠The small "Today's Usage" widget Tracking runs in full from day one. Unlock later and your entire history is there retroactively ā nothing is lost. FULL VERSION ā ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION ⢠Statistics without limits: months, years and paging back through the past ⢠All five widgets in every size, including the configurable Overview widget ⢠Limits with progress display and the two warning thresholds ⢠iCloud backup, automatically on launch, daily or weekly ⢠Adjust usage data manually, for example when you switch plans mid-month One purchase, unlocked for good, no subscription, no recurring cost. GERMAN AND ENGLISH You can switch the language inside the app, independently of your system language. GOOD TO KNOW Dipole counts from the moment you install it. Figures can differ from your carrier's or from iOS Settings, because those counters started at a different time and partly count differently. For your own overview and for spotting trends Dipole is exactly what you need ā it is not meant as evidence for disputing a bill. PRIVACY Dipole measures entirely on your iPhone. No servers, no account, no sign-in, no tracking, no ads. Your data leaves the device only if you turn on iCloud backup yourself ā and then only into your own iCloud.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Moonflower at none against Dipole ck's 1. Moonflower also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Dipole ck's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
