In this roundup, weâll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks to be released starting Monday, December 23rd and ending Sunday, December 29th.
As usual, weâll kick things off by talking about our favorites first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
Gesto for iOS 13 â $3.99
Iâm prone to using both the App Switcher and Control Center on my iPhone on a daily basis, and with that in mind, Iâve always been a proponent for merging the interfaces into one rather than being split and accessed separately.
Apple has yet to implement anything like this, but with a jailbreak tweak called Gesto for iOS 13, you can make this happen on any iPhone jailbroken on iOS 13 that you might have in your possession. The tweak also has oodles of configuration options to make it behave the way you want.
You can learn more about Gesto for iOS 13 in our full review. The tweak is also available for older versions of iOS.
Pip â $2.00
The Apple Watchâs Nightstand Mode is particularly nice when you have a compatible charging stand at your bedside. Whenever it detects your presence, either by movement-induced vibrations or by physical touch, it displays the time along with the charging level and a notification indicator if there are any missed notifications.
Iâve always loved this feature about the Apple Watch, and with that in mind, it may come as no surprise that many wonder why Apple hasnât implemented something similar on the iPhone itself â especially when itâs charging by your bedside. Thatâs where a jailbreak tweak called Pip comes into play, as it ports a near-perfect carbon copy of the Apple Watchâs Nightstand Mode experience to the iOS platform.
You can learn more about Pip and where you can get it in our full review.
Sakal â FREE
If youâre like me and you set alarms every morning to make sure you wake up on time for work, then you might take a liking to a new jailbreak tweak called Sakal.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, this simple tweak displays the next alarm in your alarm queue on the Lock screen so that you never forget that you have an alarm set. If you donât have any alarms, then the tweak will tell you so.
You can learn more about Sakal in our full review.
WatchSounds â $1.50
For the first time ever, you can official change the notification sounds and vibration patterns on your jailbroken iPhoneâs paired Apple Watch with a new jailbreak tweak called WatchSounds.
This tweak takes advantage of several system sounds and vibration patterns, allowing users to re-route them to various notification types of their choosing. Unfortunately, you canât upload your own sounds and vibration patterns, but there are almost a dozen different native ones you can pick from.
You can learn more about WatchSounds and how it works in our full review.
