Privacy Policy
Last updated August 18, 2026.
Dim collects nothing. There is no account, no sign-up, and no server that belongs to us. That is not a promise about how we behave — it is a description of what the extension is capable of, and you can check it yourself in about thirty seconds.
Dim cannot talk to anyone
Dim makes zero network requests. Not for analytics, not to check for updates, not for anything. There is no server on the other side because there is no other side.
To verify it: open Safari's Web Inspector, go to the Network tab, and browse with
Dim enabled. Nothing from Dim will ever appear there. You can also open the
extension's folder and search its code for fetch,
XMLHttpRequest or WebSocket. There are none.
About the permission Safari asks for
Safari will warn you that Dim “can read and alter webpages you visit.” That warning is accurate and it applies to every dark mode extension that exists, including this one. To make a page dark, the extension has to be allowed to change how that page looks.
What matters is what happens with that access. In Dim's case: it adds a stylesheet so the page renders dark, and it reads the page's background colour once to decide whether the site already has a dark theme of its own. That is the entire use. Nothing is recorded, nothing is stored about what you read, and nothing is sent anywhere — which, as explained above, is not possible for it to do.
You can also grant access site by site instead of everywhere, from Safari's extension settings.
What is stored, and where
Dim saves your preferences: whether it is on, your schedule, your contrast and brightness settings, and which websites you have switched it off for. That list of websites is the only thing resembling browsing data, and it exists so that your own choices survive a restart.
It is stored by Safari on your device. If you enable iCloud syncing for Safari extensions, Apple syncs it between your own Macs, encrypted, without it passing through us. Removing the extension removes it.
What we do not do
- No analytics, no tracking, no advertising, no third-party code of any kind.
- No account, no email address, no name, no identifiers.
- No profiling, and nothing shared with anyone — because nothing is collected.
Payment
Dim is a one-time purchase, handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details, and we do not receive your name or email address from the App Store.
Children
Dim collects no personal information from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy ever changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a future version of Dim ever needed to contact a server — which is not planned — that would be stated here plainly and before the fact.
