Quick contact

The fastest way to get help: email danny.ng.it@gmail.com.

Please include your iOS version, Aurora version, and the URL of any site you're having trouble with — see the bug report template below.

Safari extension setup

If Aurora isn't working in Safari yet, the extension probably isn't enabled. The User Guide — Getting started walks through it with illustrations: enable Aurora in Settings, allow All Websites, refresh the page.

Common questions

Does Aurora collect any data?

Only anonymous product-usage statistics, via TelemetryDeck (a privacy-first, GDPR-compliant analytics service) — so we can see which features people reach and where onboarding gets stuck. No personal data, no IDFA, no cross-app tracking, and your browsing history and page contents never leave your device. Full details in the Privacy Policy.

How is Aurora different from Noir or Dark Reader?

Aurora is the only Safari dark mode built specifically for iOS and Mac — with Focus Filter, Control Center widget, Live Activity, Auto Schedule, and Siri/Shortcuts integration that no other dark mode app has, plus web-font control on the Mac. Tested and stable on iOS 18+.

Will it slow down Safari?

No. Aurora injects CSS at document_start for instant theming — no white flash before darkening. Site-specific optimizations for popular sites including YouTube, Google, Reddit, Amazon, Wikipedia, Twitter, and more.

Does it work with other extensions like Grammarly or 1Password?

Yes. Aurora is designed to coexist with other Safari extensions. If you notice a conflict with a specific extension, please email me with details.

A site looks broken with Aurora on. What can I do?

Try these in order:

1. Open Aurora app → Rules → add the site to the Blacklist. Aurora will skip that site.

2. Email me the site URL — I add site-specific optimizations in updates regularly.

3. Try a different theme — some themes apply darker filters and may interact differently with the site's CSS.

How do I add Aurora to Control Center?

(Requires iOS 18 or later.) Settings → Control Center → scroll to "More Controls" → tap the green + next to Aurora. Then open Control Center and tap to toggle dark mode from anywhere.

How do I set up Focus Filter?

Settings → Focus → pick a Focus mode (e.g. Sleep) → Focus Filters → Add Filter → Aurora → set to ON. Aurora will automatically toggle when you enter that Focus mode.

What's the refund policy?

Standard Apple App Store refund policy. Request via your Apple ID purchase history. The 3-day free trial requires no payment info, so you can try before you buy.

Is there a Mac version?

Yes — Aurora for Mac is out now, on the same App Store listing. It brings Mac-only powers like changing the web font & size on any site — fully independent of dark mode — alongside the full theming engine. One purchase unlocks iPhone, iPad, and Mac. See the Mac setup guide.
