Things are really changing for the better in the jailbreak community since the Yalu iOS 10.0-10.2 jailbreak became stable enough for the public to use. Not only has Cydia been brought out of beta for iOS 10, but Cydia purchases have also been enabled, which means jailbreak tweak developers can now host their paid tweaks for the iOS 10 jailbreak.
Since this week has been pretty busy, we’ll be rounding up all the tweaks that were released throughout the week and putting them into a neat little list for you. We’ll start with our favorites first, then move on to the rest later.
Our favorite releases this week
Eclipse 4 (iOS 10) – $0.99
Eclipse 4 is a major release, as it brings a popular dark mode jailbreak tweak to life on the latest jailbreakable firmware available (iOS 10.0-10.2).
The tweak is just as useful as ever, allowing users to customize their color schemes and tinting throughout the operating system as whole.
Complete with a white list system, users can choose what apps are and aren’t affected by the tweak, which is perfect for when you get that random app that doesn’t want to cooperate.
You can read our full review of Eclipse 4 to learn more about it and how it works.
FingerTouch – FREE
FingerTouch is basically a tweak that makes the Touch ID sensor on your iPhone more useful.
This tweak can be used to assign various gestures related to the Touch ID sensor to various actions. For example, you can tap on it, tap and hold on it, or even triple-tap on it to make certain things happen, like toggling the flashlight for example.
It’s a lot like an Activator for the Touch ID sensor specifically. I think this is a great tweak, and the fact that it’s free makes it even more incredible.

SmartVPN – FREE
SmartVPN is a new free jailbreak tweak that really is quite smart.
It’s intended to help keep your information more secure by automatically firing up your iPhone’s configured VPN service any time you open an app.
SmartVPN can be configured on a per-app basis, which is particularly useful if you want to secure the connections of certain apps. It can also be useful when a VPN causes trouble with a specific app, as you can toggle the VPN off for that app only.
