Cameleon recolours any website in Safari to one of five skins: three dark, for reading at night, and two light, for a site that is already dark. It changes colour and nothing else, measures the contrast it produces, and remembers your choice for each site.

Cameleon is a Safari extension for the Mac that recolours any website to one of five skins. Three are dark, for reading a bright site at night. Two are light, which is the part a dark mode cannot do: a site that is already dark, turned to warm paper or to sage and navy. It changes colour only. No type moves, no layout changes and nothing is hidden, so a page keeps the shape you already know how to read, and photographs are left as they are. Every colour it puts on a page is re-lit until it reads at least 4.5:1 against the furthest surface in the skin: on a Wikipedia article, 18 of 1,662 pieces of text fail that bar in the site's own colours, and none do skinned. A skin chosen for a site is remembered for that site, and everywhere else follows one skin for the Mac's light appearance and another for its dark. Shortcuts actions, a Focus filter and an optional menu bar item can set a skin too. The extension has no networking code and no permission to open a connection. No account, no analytics, no adverts. $2.99 once: seven days free first from caddora.ie, or paid up front on the Mac App Store. Made in Ireland by Caddora.

Key features

Five skins, three dark and two light. Midnight, Dusk and Legacy for reading at night; Sunset and Yardage Book for turning a dark site light, which a dark mode cannot do.
Colour only. No type moved, no layout changed, nothing hidden. Photographs and background images are left exactly as they are.
Contrast it measures. Every colour is re-lit until it reads at least 4.5:1 against the furthest surface in the skin, so text stays readable on a raised card as well as on the page.
Remembered per site. A skin chosen for a site sticks to it. Everywhere else follows one skin for the Mac's light appearance and another for its dark. Shortcuts, a Focus filter and a menu bar item can set one too.
Nothing you read leaves the Mac. The extension has no networking code and no permission to open a connection. No account, no analytics, no adverts, and no record of what you read.
