Clockator adds haptic feedback to the iPhone’s Clock app

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated December 27, 2021

If you’re anything like me, then you like haptic feedback on your iPhone and wish Apple would implement it more broadly across the mobile operating system. While this could certainly happen in the near future as Apple ponders about how it can make iOS better, jailbreakers won’t need to wait thanks to the plethora of readily available jailbreak tweaks that can already bring haptic feedback to miscellaneous interfaces in iOS.

Clockator is a newly released and free extension by iOS developer CydiaGeek that fits this niche subset of add-ons, and as its name suggests, Clockator introduces haptic feedback to Apple’s native Clock app in various ways.

Discern whether you have missed important notifications from your pocket with NotiVibe

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated December 27, 2021

Your iPhone probably lights up with push notifications all day long, but only a small fraction of those are likely to be important. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to discern between important and non-important notifications without looking at your display, and this means that if you’re smack in the middle of something important and can’t look at your handset, you won’t know what you’re missing.

The aforementioned situation doesn’t come up too often, but it may happen more frequently when you’re at work and stuck in meetings all day or when you’re in class and don’t want to make it obvious that you’re checking your iPhone for notifications. For that reason, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called NotiVibe by iOS developer AnthPak may come in clutch.

Customize your iPhone’s ringer/silent switch sound and vibration with MuteVibes

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated December 27, 2021

One thing the iPhone still has that many other smartphones don’t is a physical ringer/silent switch that can be used to immediately silence your handset from right inside of your pocket.

The iPhone’s physics ringer/silent switch is still one of our favorite things about the Apple-branded handset. But if you’re jailbroken, then you may want to turn your attention to a new and free jailbreak tweak called MuteVibes by iOS developer Ethan Whited, as it can be used to customize the sound and vibration behavior of the ringer/silent switch.

Customize Apple Watch’s notification sounds & vibrations with WatchSounds

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 25, 2019

The Apple Watch is quite frankly one of the best smartwatches, if not the best, on the market today. But one glaring downside to the popular wearable, even with the latest software update, is that users can’t customize the device’s notification sounds or vibration patterns out of the box like they can on the iPhone.

Fortunately for jailbreakers with Apple Watches, that’s changing with the help of a newly released jailbreak tweak called WatchSounds by iOS developer Gil Shahar. This add-on lets you change the behavior of your Apple Watch’s notification sound and vibration system directly from your jailbroken iPhone.
