Dark Night
Dark Night is a Safari dark mode extension for macOS that applies a dark theme to websites to make night browsing easier on the eyes.
What is Dark Night?
Dark Night is a macOS Safari extension that adds dark mode browsing to websites viewed in Safari. It is designed for people who prefer a darker reading experience at night, want to reduce glare on bright pages, or like a more consistent look while using macOS in dark mode. The app can apply a dark theme across many sites, let users disable the effect on specific websites, and follow the system appearance so browsing matches the rest of the desktop. It is based on the Dark Reader project and focuses on changing how web pages are displayed rather than replacing Safari itself. Users will typically install it as a lightweight utility to make everyday web reading, research, and general browsing more comfortable.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Dark Night is a normal Safari extension utility for changing the appearance of web pages during browsing. To do its job, it needs access within Safari to modify how supported pages are displayed, which is expected for this kind of extension. As with other browser extensions, it can interact with page content on sites where you allow it to run, so it is sensible to keep it updated and only enable extensions you actually use.
Recommendation: Keep Dark Night if you use Safari and want dark mode on websites. If you no longer use it, removing it should only affect the extension's website theming and not your documents or other apps.
