Anyone with a jailbroken device will want to customize it outside of Apple’s stock parameters, and that means installing jailbreak tweaks to modify its stock behavior.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, January 7th to Sunday, January 13th. As usual, we’ll discuss our favorite releases first and then outline the rest afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
FullMusic11 – $1.00
The Now Playing interface in Apple’s Music app on iOS 11 typically displays itself as a ‘card’ over the top of another interface, and it’s not particularly pleasing to the eyes. Fortunately, a jailbreak tweak called FullMusic11 fixes that.
Just as the name implies, this tweak makes the Now Playing interface in Apple’s Music app use the remaining bits of display real-estate, providing a full-screen experience that most might prefer.
FullMusic11 also encompasses a bevy of other customization options that let you move various elements around and adjust their aesthetic, among other things.

Harpy – $1.49
Harpy is a new app for the unc0ver jailbreak that lets you view the devices using your local Wi-Fi network or Personal Hotspot and kick unwanted devices from accessing those networks.
The app is incredibly straightforward, and comes with tools to manage users on a per-device basis. You can also unblock devices that you’ve blocked previously, enabling them to re-access your network when you want them to.
You can learn more about Harpy and why it’s such a powerful networking tool and where to get it in our full review.
Serene – FREE
Serene is a new free jailbreak tweak for the Twitch streaming app that lets you colorize user interface elements in any way you’d like.
The tweak comes with several options for colorizing said elements independently, giving you full control over what your app looks like.
