It’s a great app and I definitely recommend you go and check it out.Noir is a Safari extension that automatically adds a dark mode to every website you visit. Or I could choose a theme that was perhaps easier on the eyes like maybe a Sepia one or if perhaps you’re colourblind or Dyslexic you might find an option that suits you here as well.Īnd that’s Noir for iPhone and iPad. You can also change how the images display, whether or not they’re in grayscale or slightly opaque so the background colour shines through.Īnd then when you’re in Safari press that Extensions icon again and you can apply this to individual websites – which means I can then make Wikipedia look like this if I wanted to! When you go on there you get a preview of what that new effect will look like, so a kind of green/tealy colour and with some nice salmon orange links. There’s one here in the library that I quite like called ‘Firewatch’. In here you can explore and play around with different theme options. If we jump into the app itself for a moment and then go on to the Themes Library you’ll see what I mean. Tap on that Extensions icon again and then go on to Noir.įrom here you can then choose to turn off this feature on this particular website,īut there’s actually a bit more you can do as well, because Noir has different themes built in – not just Dark Mode! It’s easy to customise this on a website-by-website basis. In fact any website you browse when your iPad’s in Dark Mode will now look much better and easier on the eyes.īut sometimes you may not want it to apply to a particular website (for instance maybe on eBay you don’t want the Dark Mode enabled). Jumping across to Google and eBay you’ll notice the same has happened there as well. We can test it by jumping back to Wikipedia, pulling down in Control Centre and then turning on Dark Mode.Īs quickly as that the Wikipedia page now has a dark theme which it simply didn’t have before! I’ll tap onto Every Website and now Noir is set up. Well I want this to always be there so it’s obvious what I’m going to choose.Īnd then we get to choosing is going to apply to only one website or all websites? So we set it up in a slightly different way.įirst of all let’s jump into Safari by pressing the open Safari button, and then we’re going to press the Extensions icon in the toolbar.Īt the top of here we’re going to go to Manage Extensions and we’re going to turn on Noir.įirst of all do we want to enable the extension for one day or always? Now this is actually called a Safari Extension, which means it runs in the Safari browser on your iPad or your iPhone. When I open the app the first thing we’re going to do is get an introduction screen that tells us how we enabled Noir. Now this app is a paid app (it costs about £2.99) but I think it’s absolutely worth that. So what we’ll do is we’ll jump onto the App Store and we’re going to search for the app called Noir. If I quickly jump into Safari and go into a couple of websites like Wikipedia or Google or eBay, and then flick into Dark Mode by using the Control Centre you’ll notice that the toolbar at the top of Safari goes darker but the web page itself – well it just stays the same!Īnd like I said earlier, a big white screen can be quite difficult at night time sometimes to look at. ![]() Well with this new App called Noir that will never happen again. ![]() I love using Dark Mode especially, at night where there’s not much light around.īut one thing I hate is opening up a website link in Safari and suddenly having a really bright white screen that almost blinds me!
