Change the light.

Turn bright websites into comfortable dark experiences while preserving images, videos, branding, and layout.

Built for Safari on iPhone and iPad.

Preview

Bright pages, calmer nights

Duskio restyles webpage presentation in Safari. Photos, video, and brand graphics stay recognizable instead of being blindly inverted.

Why Duskio

Comfortable dark reading, with control

Duskio is a Safari extension that applies dark styling locally on your device. You choose the theme, the appearance policy, and whether a website stays on or off.

Works across websites

Duskio applies dark styling to websites that do not provide a comfortable native dark experience.

Smart Preserve

Preserve photos, video, graphics, logos, icons, QR codes, charts, and important brand colors instead of blindly inverting the page.

27 built-in themes

Choose from a wide range of dark palettes, from OLED Black to warmer night tones and high-contrast options.

Compatibility controls

Switch among Standard, Compatibility, and Safe Mode when a website needs a gentler approach.

Per-site control

Enable, disable, or adjust Duskio for individual websites from the Safari popup or in the app.

20 UI languages

The app and extension include broad localization support, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, and more.

Appearance

Follow System, Always Dark, or Always Light

Theme selection and appearance policy are separate. Choosing a theme does not override Always Light or a light system appearance.

Follow System

Uses the selected Duskio theme when the device is in Dark Mode. When the device is in Light Mode, Duskio leaves webpages light.

Always Dark

Keeps supported webpages dark regardless of device appearance, using your selected Duskio theme.

Always Light

Leaves webpages light and does not apply dark themes. Your saved theme remains available when you switch back.

Compatibility

Three modes, kept simple

Websites are built in many different ways. Duskio includes three rendering modes so you can recover a difficult page without turning the extension off everywhere. Not every website will look perfect.

Standard

Best default for most websites. Applies the selected dark theme while preserving important media and branding.

Compatibility

Use when a website has unusual styles or components. It keeps more of the original styling while still reducing glare.

Safe Mode

A more conservative rendering mode for difficult websites. It makes fewer changes and prioritizes usability.

Privacy-first

Processed on your device

Settings and webpage processing remain local to the device. Duskio does not transmit your browsing history or webpage content to us.

  • No account is required for Duskio itself.
  • No advertising SDK, analytics backend, or telemetry is used by Duskio.
  • Webpage styling happens locally in Safari after you grant website access.
  • Website access lets Duskio restyle pages on your device. It does not mean browsing content is sent to the developer.

Questions

Common answers

Why is a website still light?

Confirm Duskio is enabled, website access is granted, This Website is on, and Appearance is not set to Always Light. If the device is in Light Mode and Follow System is selected, Duskio will not darken pages. Then reload the page.

What does Follow System mean?

Follow System uses the selected Duskio theme when the device is in Dark Mode. It leaves webpages light when the device is in Light Mode.

Why don’t themes apply in Always Light?

Always Light leaves webpages light and does not apply dark themes. Your theme stays saved for when you choose Follow System or Always Dark.

What does “Fix This Site” do?

It helps recover a page that looks wrong. Choose the issue you see, then try Compatibility, Safe Mode, turn Duskio off for that site, or restore Standard. The choice stays on your device.
