Shade View is a Safari web extension that instantly transforms any website into dark mode. Customize background and text brightness to suit your viewing needs. Compatible with iOS, macOS, and iPadOS.
Hi everyone! The story behind this app is quite simple. After getting my first MacBook last year and using Safari as my default browser, I noticed that most extensions available to turn any website into dark mode were expensive and offered more features than I needed. I needed a tool to transform any website into dark mode and to adjust its background and text brightness, and I wanted it to be very simple, so I decided to create one myself. The result is 'Shade View Dark Mode for Safari,' a streamlined extension that allows you to instantly transform any website into dark mode. Customize the background and text brightness to suit your viewing needs. It seamlessly integrates with Safari, ensuring a smooth and privacy-focused browsing experience, as it doesn’t collect any data. Compatible with iOS, macOS, and iPadOS.
I hope it can be helpful for many people out there. I've also coded other Safari extensions, such as a font identifier, a color picker, a SVG Picker, a CSS inspector, and more.

@ag_uxdesign nice design structure. Also make it possible for time frames depends the user.
Congrats @ag_uxdesign! Shade View is a fantastic addition to Safari extensions. The ability to customize background and text brightness is a game-changer for those of us who spend long hours online. I'm curious, are there any future plans to incorporate more customization features like color themes or scheduled dark mode?
Hi @renchu_song ! We will definitely consider adding more features for customization in the future! Stay tuned for new updates!

This looks interesting, Dark mode extensions are super useful, but I'm curious about the customization options—how granular is the control over brightness settings? Also, have you considered any future features like scheduling for automatic dark mode? Would love to see more on this!
Hi @toniko ! The control over brightness is pretty accurate and we have tested it on many websites. Do you mean scheduling for automatic dark mode at certain hours? This actually sound like a great idea and we will definitely consider it for future update. Stay tuned!

Hey Alfredo,
Have you considered expanding to other browsers in the future?
I'm curious about how it handles complex layouts or sites with unusual color schemes. Does it ever struggle with readability?
Congrats on the launch!
Hi @kyrylosilin ! We are going to stick to Safari for the moment as there are already many options for Chrome and Firefox. So far the extension handles really well complex layouts, but the internet is a big place, and we are testing it on new sites.
Thanks for the support, we wish you all the best in your projects!

@ag_uxdesign Your Shade View Dark Mode for Safari extension sounds like a fantastic solution for those needing a simple yet effective dark mode tool. I'm particularly interested in the customization options and how well it integrates with different websites. Based on my experience, I think providing feedback on the responsiveness and customization compared to other tools could be incredibly valuable. How do you find the responsiveness and customization options of the Shade View extension compared to other dark mode tools you've used?
@zephyrion Shade View stands out with its quick responsiveness and extensive customization options, allowing users to adjust contrast and brightness to suit their needs.
Thanks for the support!

Hey @ag_uxdesign! Love the concept of Shade View! Quick question: can you adjust the brightness settings for individual websites, or is it a one-size-fits-all approach? Excited to try it out! 😊
Hi @star_boat ! When you adjust the brightness settings on a websites, those setting are saved when you visit it again. You can customize all the websites that you visit with different brightness settings.
We wish you all the best!

I'm all for dark modes but what if I still want certain sites to stay in light mode, any way to exclude them automatically, also does it work well with all website elements like videos or does it create weird color issues, curious to hear if others have had any problems?
Hi @techinnovatorevp ! You just have to toggle the switch off on the popup menu and it will exclude the current website from turning into dark mode. We haven't detected any issue with elements like videos or images so far.
We wish you the best!
