The Documents app by Ukrainian developer Readdle is the best iOS file manager — think of it as the Files app on steroids. And now, it's gotten even better thanks to a major update bringing some great productivity enhancements and several features people have been waiting for.
From Slide Over to Stage Manager, and everything in between, this guide will cover all the ways to multitask on your iPad and show you how to optimize your workflow and increase productivity.
While refreshing my sources in Cydia this week, I happened upon a particularly interesting jailbreak tweak dubbed playbackSafari by iOS developer CydiaGeek. Intrigued by the name and the brief description provided in Cydia’s ‘Changes’ tab, I tapped on the tweak to learn more about it, and I’m glad that I did.
With playbackSafari, you can begin playing a video in the Safari web browser and then close the app or lock your device without experiencing interruptions to the playback. While leaving the app would prevent you from watching the video, it’s worth noting that the audio continues playing in the background.
With iPadOS, the powerful Apple tablet gets a dedicated operating system that isn't just an enlarged iPhone OS. And with it comes nearly a dozen new productivity and multitasking gestures that let you do more than ever before and save time.
Sometimes when you tap on a link on your iOS device, your handset bumps you from one app to another. Under these circumstances, iOS puts an interactive shortcut in the Status Bar known as Breadcrumbs so that you can return to the previous app, but Apple could have done so much better in this department.
If you’re in agreeance, then you might want to peek at a newly-released jailbreak tweak called AppCrumb by iOS developer sharedRoutine. It improves Apple’s Breadcrumb links by replacing the standard Status Bar shortcut with a more full-fledged windowed app experience.
A fresh batch of new iOS 13 concepts come courtesy of 3D artists Léo Vallet and Daniel Korpai who shared their mockups showing off some of the rumored features coming to iOS 13, like an unobtrusive volume HUD, enhanced multitasking, a system-wide Dark Mode, writing iOS apps in Xcode for iPad with external monitor support, a Finder-like app for iPad and more.
It’s no secret that iOS’ native clipboard leaves a lot to be desired, and that should underscore why there’s been such an uptick in the number of clipboard manager-centric apps and jailbreak tweaks for iOS as of late.
Although we’ve come to appreciate much of what’s available already, we’re also excited to discuss a new free release called Copypasta by iOS developer Nepeta. Its ultra-clean interface paired with the lack of a price tag make it a compelling option for many.
iOS’ App Switcher, love it or hate it, leaves a lot of wiggle room for improvement. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that iOS developer Gabriele Filipponi and designer Alessandro Chiarlitti set out to improve it with the launch of a new jailbreak tweak called Gesto.
In a nutshell, Gesto augments your iOS handset’s App Switcher with powerful new features and integrations with the primary goal of making multitasking easier. And let us just say, based on our mind-blowing hands-on experience, this isn’t a tweak you’ll want to miss.
Do you ever launch your App Switcher and start swiping away at apps until there’s nothing left? Despite how unnecessary people claim this to be, it’s common practice for folks to habitually clear apps when not in use. But the real problem manifests itself when you accidentally kill an app that’s playing music in the background. Yeah… frowny pants.
A new free jailbreak tweak called DontKillMyMusic by iOS developer Karimo299 aims to prevent this dilemma by empowering users with the ability to designate which apps can and can’t be killed via the App Switcher.
Multitasking is something that the iOS platform has always fallen short on, and that’s precisely why we’re excited to talk to you about a newly-released jailbreak tweak called PullOver Pro by iOS developer c1d3r.
As you might’ve noticed from the screenshot examples above, PullOver Pro is exactly what it sounds like. The tweak adds a small grabber to the side of your display that you can interact with to gain quick access to your favorite or most recently-used apps.
Ahead of Marzipan's debut at WWDC 2019 on June 3, interesting new details just surfaced regarding some of the planned capabilities for Apple's upcoming software framework that promises to help developers write cross-platform apps which run across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
If you have an iPhone X, XR, XS, or XS Max, then you’re probably familiar with the gesture that lets you swipe left or right on the Home Bar at the bottom of the screen to quickly switch between recently-used applications. Given just how useful this gesture is, it’s easy to get accustomed to it, and if you wish you could do the same on your iPad… well… now you can.
Say hello to a new free jailbreak tweak called SwitcherX by iOS developer Ryan Nair. This tweak was made to port the aforementioned gesture to various types of iPads in an effort to increase your multitasking efficiency.
