The jailbreak community hasn’t missed a beat since the Electra Team released its Electra1131 jailbreak tool. That said, we’ve seen several exciting jailbreak tweak releases.
This weekly roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released from August 27th to September 2nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and outline the rest afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
Notepad – $2.99
There comes a time when you need to jot something down really quick, and that’s where the inconvenience of having to unlock your handset gets in the way.
A new jailbreak tweak dubbed Notepad comes to the rescue by offering a Lock screen-based means of writing notes to yourself. It’s always available to you whether you’ve saved a note or not, so you can quickly jot things down without dealing with passcodes and biometric authentication methods.
If you want to learn more about Notepad and how it works, then you can check out our full review in which we go in-depth.
NotificationsUnleashedXI – $0.99
Although iOS sports a robust notification system, it could do with a little more user configuration. That’s where a new jailbreak tweak called NotificationsUnleashedXI comes into play.
NotificationsUnleashedXI provides a slew of internal options that let you customize your incoming notifications to suit your needs. Many of these options can be used to improve the aesthetic or function of notification banners on the Lock screen, in Notification Center, or throughout iOS.
You can learn more about the settings NotificationsUnleashedXI provides to the end user in our full review.
VoiceChanger X – $1.99
A fan-favorite jailbreak tweak called VoiceChanger X has been released for iOS 11 that lets you modify the pitch of your voice in real-time during phone calls.
The interface includes support for voice-tweaking presets along with manual configuration, and it pops up in the native call interface for the Phone app, FaceTime app, and several third-party VoIP apps.
You can learn more about VoiceChanger X and how it can be used as a funny prank tweak for endless hours of entertainment in our full review.
YouRespring – FREE
YouRespring is a fun and quirky new jailbreak tweak that lets you customize your pwned handset’s respring screen.
Upon installation, you’ll find a preference pane in the Settings app where you can configure any animated GIF image for the respring screen and adjust other parameters such as background color and size.
If you’re looking for a new way to spice up that iOS 10 or iOS 11 jailbreak, then check out our full review on YouRespring.
