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.
