Dark Night - mode for Safari

I appreciate this free app so I am giving it 5 stars, but I really, really want a specific feature that it is missing. The app currently has a global toggle for "on", "off", and "auto". It also has a per-site setting to disable it. However, how I want it to behave is to be off by default but have a per-site setting to turn on "auto". Many websites either already look fine in dark mode or break when using this extension and manually turning off each of those is tedious. Plus, when it automatically enables for iframes there is no way to turn it off, so you end up with pages that are partially on and partially off. Developer, please please please add a settings page for this.

I bought this app and use it on iOS and MacOS. It does its job well most of the time. But there are some websites which are immune to its magics and retain their original theme unaffected. The most annoying issue with the app it that it keeps dark mode during the day allegedly based on the OS setting of dark mode, when it is not true. It requires Safari to be restarted to realize it is not night time anymore and so disengage. The opposite is not frequent nor does happen at all. This happens both on iOS and macOS. When it works, it results in a dark mode as you’d expect with the option to reduce images brightness and easily create a list of exceptions for those websites you don’t want it to modify. Here too, it sometimes is inconsistent, as it does not recognize subdomains on certain website and you might find yourself forcing your settings when browsing various sections or pages in a top domain due to inconsistent results. Finally, it would be nice to be able to pick from a variety of dark themes. Sometimes I feel it is too dark or that we could spice things a bit with a different color pallet. Hopefully it will evolve to become better on the above mentioned issues. Anyway, the price is very fair, allowing family and cross device share (thank you!), and despite the pointed flaws I continue using it, as it does not totally detract from the general purpose of being gentle to our eyes when browsing at night.

First of all, great app, especially for a free app! I use this throughout macOS and iOS and discovered that while the extension works well on Auto on macOS, it won’t on iOS. So even after the iPhone switched to dark mode on sunset automatically following iOS settings, the extension would still acknowledge it to be on daylight mode. I have to turn dark mode off and on again to enable the extension. Other than this bug, it’s great overall.
