Our favorite releases this week

LockAnim – FREE

LockAnim is a captivating jailbreak tweak that lets you customize the locking animation on your iPhone or iPad.

The tweak comes with a long list of animations to pick from, allowing you to add more character to your handset on demand.

LockDroid is a serious throwback to when it was cool to have an Android-style matrix Lock screen on your jailbroken iPhone.

Siliqua 2 – $1.00

Siliqua 2 is a must-have jailbreak tweak for AirPods users because it lets you customize the gestures you use during media playback.

You’ll find a long list of things you can assign to the default gestures in the Settings app after installation, and it’s worth a try if you use your AirPods frequently.

TwitterDarkMode – FREE

Twitter includes a native Night Mode, but sometimes that just doesn’t cut it. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called TwitterDarkMode can help you dial in the perfect aesthetic.

With this tweak, you can colorize the Twitter app however you want; it even comes with presets that can help you get a nice OLED-friendly, pitch-black UI going.
