User reviews

Users appreciate the free, effective, and visually pleasant dark mode provided by this Chrome extension, especially for Jira cloud instances. Many find it better than paid alternatives and praise its ease of use. However, several users report that it does not work with self-hosted Jira, limiting its utility. Additionally, some issues persist with readability on Confluence, Tempo, and test cases, as well as a lack of customization like toggles or site configuration. Image inversion has also caused dissatisfaction in certain cases.

Recent reviews

No way to configure the url's, if you self-host Jira this extension is useless. Also it's not a dark mode, just color-inverse.

doesn't work on self hosted jira.

I couldn't use this extension because I use a self hosted version of Jira. As explained in the extension description, it doesn't work on self hosted versions of Jira. I would love to see added support for this in the future and I am sure I am not the only one :)
