Gmail Dark Mode
Description from store

Gmail Dark mode is a simple yet powerful extension that does not simply invert the colors of the page. It uses the powerful algorithm of Night Eye to properly convert the Gmail theme into a smooth and eye-caring dark theme.

Why do you need Gmail dark mode?
Dark mode can reduce eye strain, allow you to be more productive, and, most importantly, give you another layer of protection for your eyes. As we are spending more and more time in front of the screen, our eyes suffer the most from this. Obviously, there is no turning back; we will be spending most of our waking hours staring at screens. Thus something must be done to lift the heavy burden we are putting on our eyesight.

The fact is that we are sending more and more emails, and pretty much all communication is done via email. E-mail is one of those online activities that can literally eat up half of your day. This is why improving how you handle email is a good starting point to minimize the pressure you put on your eyes every day.
Does Gmail dark mode read my emails?
Absolutely not! The extension only analyzes the colors of your page and converts them. It does not read, process, store, or do anything with your content.

Can I enable dark mode on other websites?
Gmail dark mode is specifically made for those who only want to have a dark theme on Gmail. To enable dark mode on any website, please check our other extension - Night Eye - www.nighteye.app

Thank you for taking time to create something to solve issue Google doesn't care to solve

Erich Cervantez 2025-08-05

Great extension. The biggest issue with using dark mode skins for gmail is I cannot tell the difference between read and unread emails. This extension solves the issue by changing the background color of read emails.

Nate Rosso 2025-06-03

Messes up email font colors (for example, produces light gray text on a white background), leading to complaints from recipients. Confirmed that RGB 0,0,0 is selected as email font color. Went through annoying DOE of painstakingly altering one setting at a time and sending emails to another account before confirming that this extension was the issue. Uninstalling immediately.

This just randomly inverses things, not useful

Paweł Garapich 2024-08-28

Very nice, but it would be nicer if the sliders were also darker.

Jay Stephano 2024-03-27

only wish it kept the right tag colours

Nicolas Recalde 2024-03-15

Almost perfect, except that it changes tag colors in the sidebar ... and also changes my email signature, would give 5 if this gets fixed!

Emily Jimenez 2024-03-08

Great mode only downfall is that the labels change color but I would recommend

Sean Vikoren 2024-03-03

Converts well

Clarisa HM 2024-01-25

This is the only extension you'll need for your Gmail. Now, devs, when are you going to make one for Chrome Web Store?

Finally, my eyes aren't hurting anymore!

Slow down entire gmail page

john palmer 2023-11-11

Slows down my entire gmail, and makes updating messages to 'read' take 10-15 seconds, ended up removing it because it's just annoying.

A pretty handy extension for my Gmail mailbox. I use it along with the dark theme of the system and browser. Of the advantages of the extension - you do not need to look for settings to enable a dark theme, it is instantly installed in the browser.

The extension did a good job of recoloring email backgrounds, fonts, and Gmail UI. However, it significantly slowed down the Gmail interface. When replying or forwarding an email, it would take up to 8 seconds to load up the compose screen. When I switched the extension off and reverted back to running Dark Reader for gmail.com, everything worked like normal again. I think this is a good extension because its chief goal is well-achieved -- it handles the restyling of emails very well. But it needs work on the performance end to make sure it doesn't slow down the interface.

I love it - simple and powerful. It enables awesome dark theme so that I can do my emails late at night without getting blinded by the bright white background.
