How to Start Using Night Eye

This guide covers the Night Eye browser extension. Mobile setup may differ depending on your device and browser.

Step 1: Install Night Eye in Your Browser
Select your browser and install Night Eye from its official extension store. Night Eye is available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi and Yandex Browser.
Why Does the Browser Ask to “Read and Change All Your Data on All Websites”?
Browsers use this standard permission wording for extensions that need to modify web pages. Night Eye needs access to the page’s colors, backgrounds, text and interface elements so it can convert them into Dark Mode.
All analysis and color conversion happen locally on your device. Night Eye does not send the websites you visit, your browsing history or page content to Night Eye servers. No browsing or page data leaves your device as part of the Dark Mode conversion.
Step 2: Open Night Eye From Your Browser Toolbar
After installing Night Eye, open your browser’s Extensions menu and select Night Eye. Pinning the extension keeps its icon visible, making it easier to control Dark Mode while browsing.
- Select the Extensions icon in the browser toolbar.
- Find Night Eye in the extension list.
- Select the pin option, then click the Night Eye icon to open it.
- Select the Extensions button in the Firefox toolbar.
- Find Night Eye and open its settings menu.
- Pin Night Eye to the toolbar, then select its icon.
- Open Safari Settings and choose Extensions.
- Enable Night Eye and allow the required website access.
- Select the Night Eye icon from the Safari toolbar.
Step 3: Open Your First Website in Dark Mode
Once Night Eye is installed, open any website. Night Eye starts in Dark Mode and automatically converts supported websites as they load—there is no need to enable it on every page.
If the website was already open when you installed Night Eye, refresh that tab once so the newly installed extension can begin converting it.
To view or change the appearance of the current website, select the Night Eye icon from the browser toolbar. You can switch between Dark, Filtered and Normal modes or adjust the available display controls.
That’s it. Night Eye will continue converting supported websites automatically and remember any website-specific changes you make.
Choose How the Website Should Appear
Night Eye provides three modes for controlling how the current website appears.
Dark Mode
Converts the website’s colors, backgrounds, interface elements and smaller images into a complete dark experience.
Filtered Mode
Keeps the website’s original colors while allowing you to adjust brightness, contrast, warmth and dimming.
Normal Mode
Shows the website in its original appearance without Night Eye’s dark-mode conversion.
Step 4: Adjust the Website to Your Preferences
If the website appears too bright or dark, use Night Eye’s display controls to fine-tune it. Start with one small adjustment and continue until the page feels comfortable.
Brightness
Contrast
Blue Light and Warmth
Dim
Quick example: Browsing in a dark room? Reduce Brightness slightly and increase Dim until the page feels comfortable.
Step 5: Apply Settings Globally or to One Website
Apply to All Websites
Use the same mode and display adjustments across supported websites.
Apply to the Current Website
Customize the website you are visiting without changing how other websites appear.

Make Night Eye Work Automatically
The essential setup is complete. These optional settings can automate Night Eye after you are comfortable with the basics.
Set a Dark Mode Schedule
Choose the hours when Night Eye should automatically enable Dark Mode and when websites should return to their normal appearance.
Follow Your System Theme
Synchronize Night Eye with the light or dark appearance used by your operating system or supported browser.
Something Does Not Look Right?
Night Eye works on most websites, but browser restrictions and unusual website technologies can sometimes affect the result.
- Refresh the page.
- Switch between Dark and Filtered modes.
- Check whether the website looks better with different brightness or contrast settings.
- Report the website through Night Eye’s built-in support system.
To contact support, open Night Eye and select the support button in the upper-right corner of the extension.
You’re Ready to Browse in Dark Mode
Night Eye is installed and ready to convert supported websites. Continue with the default appearance or customize individual websites as you browse.
