🎗 Support our development to keep Turn Off the Lights FREE

Designing, writing code, and testing takes time to make it the best experience for you. But the tools we use and distribute this free Turn Off the Lights browser extension cost money. Such as hosting, domain, email provider, security, firewall, laptop, mobile devices, Apple developer account, and even the Adobe Creative Suite software that cost monthly money to create the screenshots and the YouTube tutorial videos. Creating a free browser extension is hard work and has a lot of costs to keep it available for everyone for free.

We at Turn Off the Lights are passionate to get you the best web and video experience like never seen before. And we always innovate new features that make you get comfortable on the web. Such as a customizable Dark Mode theme that is harmony the same on all websites on iOS for free. Turn Off the Lights browser extension is 100% free and Open-Source for all platforms, as we believe this accessibility tool should be available for everyone. And that would not be possible without your continued support.
