Pale Ink

Any web page.
As e-paper.

A full-screen browser that renders the live page in dithered black and white. It still scrolls, taps and loads at sixty frames a second.

Not a filter.

The look is added when the frame is composited, so the page keeps its own frame rate. Links work. Text fields work. Nothing is a screenshot.

Real blue noise.

The threshold matrix is generated offline with void-and-cluster. Ordered dithering leaves a grid. Error diffusion makes every pixel wait on its neighbours. This does neither.

Five papers, one ink.

Classic, cool white, warm light, aged, newsprint. Grain size, dither strength, contrast and front light are all yours to set.

Save a page with its look.

One tap brings back the address together with the grain, paper and contrast you gave it. Fiction in soft greys. Code in high contrast.

Nothing collected.

No account, no ads, no tracking. The app makes no network requests of its own — every byte you see comes from the page you opened.
