Toolio is a little box of handy tools for Safari β€” dark mode, ad blocking, decluttering, word count, copy-all-links, and QR codes. All free, with no accounts and no data collection. DARK MODE FOR ANY SITE Turn any website dark and easy on the eyes at night. Your choice is remembered per site and re-applied automatically the next time you visit. BLOCK ADS & TRACKERS A fast, native content blocker stops ads, popups, and trackers across the web β€” including Vietnamese sites β€” using 100,000+ filter rules. Turn it on or off, or allow ads on a specific site, right from the popup. DECLUTTER Remove cookie banners, popups, and sticky overlays with one tap so you can read in peace. WORD COUNT & READING TIME Instantly see the word count, character count, and estimated reading time of any page. COPY ALL LINKS Grab every link on a page as a clean Markdown list. QR CODE Turn the current page into a QR code to open it on another device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. Nothing you do leaves your device β€” settings are stored locally only. HOW TO TURN IT ON Open Toolio and tap "Open Settings", then enable the extensions under Settings β€Ί Safari β€Ί Extensions and allow access to websites. Toolio is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.
