Night Eye allows you to enable dark mode on nearly all websites, improving readability and reducing eye strain in low light environments. It also offers customization options such as brightness, contrast, and saturation adjustments, as well as a blue light filter to protect the eyes. Plus, with the ability to control built-in dark themes on supported websites, you'll have complete control over your online experience.

Trusted by more than 1 000 000 users across all major browser, Night Eye is the right choice for your eyes. Smart conversion, no ads, no data mining, helpful support! We update the extensions regularly on a monthly basis for the past 5 years and plan to do that for a very long time ahead.

If the website has built-in dark theme, you can control it directly from Night Eye and if it doesn't (like Gmail, Google Docs, Office Online, Github and millions others), Night Eye will convert the colors to provide you with smooth and consistent dark mode.

FOR THOSE WITH PRIVACY CONCERN Microsoft Edge will alert you that the extension may read and change all your data on the websites that you visit. Here is the whole story: This extension analyses the colors of each webpage and converts them in order to give you a smooth and consistent dark mode. There is no other way the extension can convert the colors without the privilege to access them.

However, we never collect any of your data. Our business model relies on subscriptions and not on storing and selling your data. Last but not least, we are also internet users and don’t want to be evil.

This helps to have a better overall night's sleep.

You can manually choose the shift from color presets, to pick up the most comfortable and calm atmosphere for your eyes during the night sessions or through the all day long.
