Nightshift
Nightshift is a macOS Safari app that applies a dark mode to web pages and lets you turn it on or off for individual sites.
What is Nightshift?
Nightshift is a Safari-focused utility for macOS that helps users browse with a darker page appearance. It adds dark mode to websites in Safari and lets you enable or disable the effect on a per-site basis, which is useful when some pages look better with the filter than others. The app is designed for people who prefer a darker reading experience, especially during evening use or on bright websites that do not offer their own dark theme. Its approach is simple and lightweight, centered on changing how pages are displayed rather than adding a broad set of browser-management features. Nightshift is published by Yep and distributed for Mac through the App Store.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This is a normal Safari utility for changing page appearance. It is intended to work with web content you view in Safari, so access related to browser use is expected for its purpose. Because it changes page colors with a visual filter, some websites, images, or videos may not look perfectly accurate. If a page looks wrong, turn the effect off for that site.
Recommendation: Keep Nightshift if you want a simple way to use dark mode in Safari, especially on sites that do not provide their own theme. If you no longer use Safari dark-mode tools, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its page-darkening feature.
