Noir - Dark Mode for Safari 2024.1.11
Paid Version
Publisher Description
It makes browsing the web at night so much better. With Noir, you won’t be blinded by bright websites ever again.
And the results look great too. Noir generates a custom dark style for each website you visit, based on the colors that are used on a page. You won’t even notice this happening in the background – that’s how fast it is – but you’ll certainly appreciate the end result: a beautiful dark mode tailored for each website, where contrast is preserved and highlights still pop. And with over 20 built-in themes and the ability to create your own, you can customize the results exactly the way you want.
Noir works with any website you visit in Safari, automatically. By default, Noir is linked to your device’s Dark Mode, so websites will only go dark when you want them to. But you can easily customize this to your liking, even per website. Only want to use Noir on just a few specific websites? Sure thing! Disable Noir on some websites? No problem!
Built from the ground up for iOS and iPadOS, the app feels right at home on your device. It supports the brand new Safari web extension feature, which means there’s no need to manually activate it every time you load a new page. The app also tightly integrates with system features such as Shortcuts, Focus Filters, and Widgets to fully integrate Noir in all your workflows. And your settings are automatically synced to all your devices using iCloud.
And just as importantly, Noir takes your privacy seriously: it doesn’t collect any of your browsing data. Period.
Noir is made by an indie iOS developer. It does not include any subscriptions or ads. Buy Noir once, use it forever.
Notes:
• Found a website where Noir’s dark mode doesn’t look just right? Let me know by reporting it. The app will be frequently updated to address issues that are reported.
Privacy Policy:
• The Noir extension requires access to the websites you visit to analyze the existing style of the page and to override it with Noir's dark style.
• Noir never collects your browsing data. The only data Noir ‘collects’ are your settings, and those will never leave your device or iCloud account.
• You can read Noir’s full Privacy Policy at https://getnoir.app/privacypolicy

Version 2023.1.1
This brand new update of Noir brings a ton of website fixes and performance improvements. Noir is now even faster and more reliable in darkening your favorite websites.
There's also a few new features and other improvements:
- Added an option to the About screen to reset all settings.
- If you tweak Noir's setting for a specific URL, those settings now also apply to similar URLs with different query parameters. If you're confused by what this means, then this feature probably is not for you, but if you do know, chances are you're going to be quite happy with it :)
- Additionally, if you set up URL-specific settings for a URL that does contain query parameters, you can now clean the URL and strip the parameters in the Noir app.
- The Noir menu in Safari now shows an info notice when you're in Private Browsing Mode, reminding you that if you change the Noir settings of a website, the website will show up in the Noir app.
- Fixed an issue in the Noir app where the app would go back to the main screen when attempting to make changes to themes or keyboard shortcuts.
If you run into any issues with Noir after updating, please reach out to me through the 'Contact Support' option in the Noir app and I'll look into it! This update contains many behind-the-scenes changes, so there is always a chance that I missed something. By contacting me, I can look into it and make sure it gets fixed.
Thank you so much to everyone who sent in website reports and feature requests! I really hope you like this update of Noir. If you like the app, please consider leaving a review in the App Store, that helps a lot. Thanks!

Hi there! This update of Noir adds a set of great new features that make Noir more customizable than ever before!
# Custom Themes
You can now create your very own custom themes and tweak these exactly to your liking. You can change the background and text colors, and also set image dimming and (new in this update!) image gray scaling per theme.
After you have created the perfect theme, it's really easy to share this theme with other users of Noir. Just send them the special link and when they open it on their device, they can import your theme and start using it immediately!
Not the creative type? Don't worry, Noir now also comes with a library of over 20 pre-made themes that you can now add with just a single tap.
# Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts
You can now tweak which specific key combinations are used for Noir's keyboard shortcuts. And that's not all, because there are also many new keyboard shortcuts that you can set up, including ones for switching Noir's theme and disabling Noir until tomorrow.
# Website Fixes & Improvements
As always, this update also includes many fixes and improvements based on your reports. Thank you so much for sending these in and helping me improve Noir!
Update 2022.2.1 includes some fixes to themes in the Theme Library, and improvements to the onboarding process for new users.
Update 2022.2.2 fixes some more issues that were introduced in the previous version, and includes additional website fixes as well.
This update was directly inspired by your input and feedback, so thank you so much! I hope you like the new features!

Hi there! In this update, I've fixed an issue where Noir would stop working if you had the Raindrop.io Safari Extension active at the same time. A recent update of that extension caused Noir to stop working when it runs on a page. That should now be fixed, and Noir should be getting along nicely with Raindrop.io again!

This update includes a lot of fixes and improvements based on your input. Not the most exciting to write about in release notes, but it should make your experience with Noir even smoother. Please keep submitting website reports, they really help improving Noir.
In case you missed it, the previous update of Noir added a lot of new features, including support for iCloud sync. Full details on the previous updates are below.
Also a quick reminder that Noir is now also available on macOS as well! You can find it on the Mac App Store.

Here's what was included in the previous update of Noir:
# iCloud sync
Your website settings can now be backed up and synced with iCloud! This means that if you ever have to reinstall Noir, all your website settings will still be there. And if you use Noir on multiple devices (such as, let's say, on a Mac perhaps :) ), your settings will be synced across all your devices.
Noir will automatically enable iCloud sync on the first device that you run this update on. For any subsequent devices, you can easily enable iCloud sync in the Noir app.
# Disable Until Tomorrow and Smart Banners
Two great new additions to the Noir menu in Safari: it is now possible to conveniently temporarily disable Noir until the next day on the website that you're on. And Smart Banners at the top of the Noir menu will inform you why Noir did not darken a web page, and allow you to quickly to tweak the settings of that website if needed.
# Performance improvements
The previous update also brought some major improvements to the performance of Noir. Pages should now be darkened even faster than ever before, resulting in fewer situations where the undarkened version of a page would be briefly visible while Noir is loading.

Thank you so much for using Noir! This update brings many exciting new features and improvements!
I’m very happy to let you know that Noir for Mac is now available! More about at the end of these release notes, but first a look at the new features that this update brings to Noir on iOS and iPadOS.
# iCloud sync
Your website settings can now be backed up and synced with iCloud! This means that if you ever have to reinstall Noir, all your website settings will still be there. And if you use Noir on multiple devices (such as, let's say, on a Mac perhaps :) ), your settings will be synced across all your devices.
Noir will automatically enable iCloud sync on the first device that you run this update on. For any subsequent devices, you can easily enable iCloud sync in the Noir app.

This update was inspired by the input you have been providing. Thank you all so much for your feedback, suggestions, and website reports!
Last but not least, Noir is now also available on macOS as well! You can find it on the Mac App Store as a separate purchase. It includes all the features you’ve come to expect from Noir, such as existing dark mode detection, Shortcuts support and a great native app and interface. And with iCloud sync, the Mac version of Noir integrates perfectly with Noir on iOS and iPadOS.
Behind the scenes, Safari Extensions work quite a bit differently on Mac. So while on the surface Noir for Mac works and functions the same as on iOS, it required a lot of work and polishing to make sure the extension runs as smoothly as you'd expect it to. I really think Noir for Mac is a great companion to Noir on iPhone and iPad, and I hope you’ll give it a try!

Thank you so much for using Noir!
This update adds the option to include the full URL when reporting an issue on a page, making it easier for me to find and fix the issue. Additionally, you're now asked to categorize the issue, which will also make it easier to manage the reports you're all sending.
Of course, as always this update also includes a lot of fixes and improvements to the Noir extension!
Thanks for all the feedback, suggestions, and website reports. If you like the app, Please spread the word by telling other people about Noir!

Hi there!
This update brings a lot of optimizations and improvements to the Noir extension, fixing issues that have been reported.
Additionally, there are now two new Shortcut actions available to change the Dim Images setting. You can use this to schedule the Dim Images status independently of the Enabled status. For example, you can keep Noir enabled at all times, but schedule two shortcuts to enable Dim Images only between sunset and sunrise.
As always, thank you so much for using Noir and for sharing your feedback, suggestions, and website reports! If you like Noir, the best way to support the app is by sharing it with others, so please consider telling people about Noir!

Version 2021.2.3 of Noir brings more fixes and improvements! Among which:
- Fixed issues relating to some smaller elements remaining undarkened on a page
- Sites where you only changed the 'Ignore Built-In Dark Mode' setting did not show up in the Noir app. Now these websites will show up just fine.
- Some specific websites were not loading with Noir enabled, this has now been fixed too
Of course, this update also includes fixes to websites based on your reports. I'm continuously working on these! Thank you so much for submitting these!

Thank you all for downloading Noir, sharing your feedback and suggestions, and sending in website reports! This update has been directly inspired by the feedback you shared with me.
This update adds a brand new feature to Noir: themes. You can now pick between the default 'Dark' theme (where websites get a dark gray background), and the brand new 'Black' theme. This new theme gives pages a pure black background. It makes pages even darker, and it looks especially great on OLED screens. You can select the default theme in the Noir app, and of course you can select a specific theme per website through the Noir menu in Safari.
Additionally, this update includes improvements to the Noir extension to fix websites that have been reported. As always, more is coming soon!
Version 2021.2.1 fixes a bug on iPad where the theme setting would not always be saved after you changed it in the Noir app.

Thank you all for downloading Noir! This is a quick update that adds some small improvements and fixes some minor bugs.
# App
- Added an option to skip the onboarding and pick it back up later
- Fix some background colors on the iPad
# Extension
- Improved the way Noir handles small icons. Noir should be even better in detecting these icons, and making them light if they were originally dark.
- The status bar on iPhones and Safari UI on iPad will now also be darkened when Noir is active.
That’s all for now, but rest assured, there are many more updates to come. I have some exciting plans for new features, and I will keep making sure to improve the compatibility of Noir.
