Once it’s enabled, every new tab you open defaults to a Momentum start page. Unlike some of the other extensions in this roundup, Momentum doesn’t require any interaction. I’ve signed up for a year to see how it goes and will report back after I’ve had more time to see how well a widgetized start page integrates into my workday. Inspirational quotes and a mantra are available too, but those aren’t really my thing, so I haven’t tried them.īasic functionality is free, but for $40/year adds the more powerful customizations and integrations. You can also play soundscapes as you work, search the web, add notes, and set a daily ‘focus’ to help keep you on track with your goals. What I like about Momentum is I can open a new tab and immediately see a beautiful photo from the service’s collection or that I upload myself, the time, a countdown to important upcoming events, the time in other parts of the world, the weather, my Todoist tasks for the day, a collection of links, and more. Between research, writing, and various services we use to run MacStories, I spend a large part of my day in Safari. If you spend most of your time in Safari, Momentum, which creates a beautiful, customizable start page, is worth a look. As a fan of dark mode, this is already one of my most-used extensions, especially on my iPad Pro. Even better, there’s a keyboard shortcut making it easy to cycle between Noir’s options for every website you visit with a connected keyboard. Tap the Noir’s icon in the address bar, and you can switch between the app’s global setting, Auto, which follows your system settings, On, or Off. Those are all global settings, but you can apply Noir on a website-by-website basis too. You can even use Noir’s dark mode instead of a site’s existing dark mode if you like it better. You can set Noir to follow your system settings or to be on or off full-time. The color scheme has worked exceptionally well on all the sites I’ve tried. I love Noir’s tasteful handling of dark mode. With Noir, that doesn’t happen because the extension can apply a dark mode to sites that don’t have their own. Far too often, when I’m reading late at night with the lights off, I tap on a Times link and get blinded by its bright white background. A good example is The New York Times and Vulture, which is pictured above. Too many websites don’t offer a dark mode. You must purchase it first to use it.Before (left) and after (right) Noir applies its dark mode On the other hand, Dark Reader is not free. Night Eye is free to download however, it costs if you want to utilize all its features. The recommended extension is the Dark Reader and Night Eye. Moreover, along with the third-party extension, you will get features like automatically turning on and off Dark Mode, etc. You can use a third-party extension if you want to turn all the websites to be in Dark Mode. Using the default Dark mode of the Safari Browser will not turn every website into Dark Mode. You can always turn off the dark reader skin by disabling the Show Reader View or Hide Reader View options menu. This will load the website page in reader view mode in Safari Mac and dark skin color. After that, click on the aA tab at the right of the address bar, and select Dark from the menu circle under the A section in the top-right.Click on the reader mode at the left of the address bar.
