Moonlit Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

Moonlit ("the app", "we", "us") is a dark mode extension for Safari on iPhone, iPad and Mac, operated by Thoplo Technology. This policy explains what information Moonlit uses, where it goes, and the choices you have.

In short: Moonlit does not collect any personal information. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it never sends anything to us. We do not run a server for it. Everything it does to a web page happens on your device.

Information the app uses

• The web pages you visit. To darken a page, Safari lets Moonlit read and change that page after you allow it to. Moonlit reads the page's colors, stylesheets and images and rewrites the colors on your device. It does not record which pages you visit, what they contain or what you type, and none of it leaves your device.
• Stylesheets and images from those pages. Some stylesheets and images come from other servers, and Moonlit can't read them from inside the page. Safari downloads these files for Moonlit from the same address the page uses. The file goes only to the website or content server that already hosts it, never to us. Your cookies are sent only to the site you are on, as the page's own request would send them. Moonlit measures the files on your device (colors, brightness, transparency), keeps them only in memory while it works, and never saves them.
• Your settings. Your theme, adjustments, schedule and the lists of websites you turned Moonlit on or off for are stored on your device, in Safari's storage for the extension and in the Moonlit app. The app keeps this copy so that Shortcuts, Focus filters, the widget and Control Center can change your settings. They are never sent to us.
• iCloud sync. If Sync with iCloud is on in Moonlit's Settings (it is on unless you turn it off), your settings, including the website lists, are also kept in your own iCloud account using Apple's iCloud key-value storage. They then follow you to your other devices signed in with the same Apple Account. A Focus filter's change stays on the device where you made it. This copy is stored by Apple, is private to your account, and we cannot see or access it.
• Shortcuts, Focus filters, widgets and Control Center. These Apple features run on your device and change only Moonlit's settings. They are governed by Apple's privacy policy.

How we use information

Information stays on your device, and in your own iCloud account if you use sync. Moonlit uses it only to darken web pages the way you chose and to keep your settings the same on your devices. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising or for training AI models.

Sharing

We do not share any information with third parties, because Moonlit does not send any information to us. Downloads of a page's stylesheets and images go only to the servers that page already uses. iCloud and the other Apple features above are governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Your choices

• Choose which websites Moonlit may access in Safari's settings: on a Mac, Safari › Settings › Extensions; on iPhone and iPad, Settings › Apps › Safari › Extensions. You can turn the extension off completely there.
• Turn Moonlit off for one website, or choose to darken only the websites you list, from Moonlit's toolbar menu in Safari.
• Turn off Sync with iCloud in Moonlit's Settings to stop sending your settings from that device to iCloud.

Data retention and deletion

On iPhone and iPad, your settings are deleted when you remove the app. On a Mac, Safari removes the extension's copy, and macOS may keep a small data folder with the app's copy of your settings after you delete the app. Downloaded stylesheets and images are kept only in memory and are never saved. If you used iCloud sync, the copy of your settings in your iCloud account is kept by Apple so it can be restored if you reinstall. It holds only your Moonlit settings. We hold no copy of any of it, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side.

Children

Moonlit is suitable for all ages and does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the date above.
