I like to use dark mode in a lot of apps and sites like Slack, Chrome, Gmail, Product Hunt, Medium etc. and I tried to find a list of where I could find the dark mode for some other apps with an instruction how to turn it on, and I couldn’t.

So I decided to build my own.

Let me know your feedback or maybe suggest some of your favorite apps that you are using in the dark mode and, HN :)

There's a lot here which I wouldn't use because they require third-party extensions/scripts. Perhaps separate those with native dark-modes from those without?

Just want to say thanks for not using the word "curated" in your title. Something about its recent usage just seems unnecessarily pretentious and adds nothing to the description of the list.

> and adds nothing to the description of the list

"Curated" generally implies the selections were hand-picked by a single person or small group of people, presumably because they are high-quality. There's a big difference between, say, "Curated list of the best sci-fi novels" and "100 most popular sci-fi books from Reddit." The word is definitely abused by some but it still conveys useful information when used properly.

That being said, it sounds like the author is trying to create a comprehensive list of apps rather than a curated one (which makes sense in this case), so the word wouldn't even apply in this scenario.

Pretty cool site - thanks for letting me know about YouTube Dark mode, I immediately activated it.

Citationsy (a webapp that let’s you create citations and reference lists) has a night mode, here’s a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/ZpDBIZE.png

Hi, I'm glad that you find useful something on that list. And thanks for the suggestion! I've just added Citationsy.

Very nice curated collection. I typically install RaspAP, a webapp for controlling wifi and hostapd, on every new Raspberry Pi. The project recently added theme support including a dark theme that appears to emulate a VT100 terminal.

Thank you for building this list! Always wanted a dark mode on Slack, and I love this hack. I have now set my Slack on "Low contrast" mode and it's not being hard on my eyes.

Discord! Native dark theme support.

I never heard about this app but I added it to the list :) Thanks!

I use Amazing Marvin in dark mode :) for day planning and task management.
