Safari on iPhone and iPad

Set Up Duskio in Safari

Safari controls whether the extension is enabled and which websites it can restyle. After these steps, Duskio can apply your selected theme locally on authorized pages.

  1. 1. Install and open Duskio

    Install Duskio from the App Store, then open the Duskio app once so setup guidance and settings are available on the device.

  6. 6. Allow website access

    Safari asks which websites the extension may access. Duskio needs this permission to restyle page appearance on your device. Access does not send browsing content to us.
