Enjoy a fuller Home screen experience with Fullboard
Apple designed the iOS Home screen such that you could scroll through pages of app icons, but there’s always been a single row of non-scrollable, static app icons near the bottom of the display, more commonly referred to as the Dock.
Love it or hate it, the Dock is a staple in Apple’s desktop and mobile operating systems, but a new free jailbreak tweak called Fullboard by iOS developer Heft Johnson lets you nix it entirely, instead transforming the full height of the Home screen into a scrollable interface.
Dimage brings smart image diming to Dark Mode-supported apps
Dark Mode-centric jailbreak tweaks are becoming increasingly popular given the lack of native Dark Mode support in Apple’s mobile operating system, but while the bulk of such tweaks can make an app interface or web view darker, that doesn’t do much for the content inside the app, such as images and screenshots shared by others in social media apps.
AutoShiftFix can help prevent capital letter-centric typos throughout iOS
One of the most common typo mistakes I experience on the iOS platform involves capital letters. Sometimes my fat fingers tap the Shift key in the middle of a sentence, resulting in a capital letter appearing where it doesn’t belong.
WishDia adds a functional wish list to the Cydia app
All great online stores, including the likes of Amazon and eBay, have a wish list feature that lets you take note of things you’d like to purchase later. But wouldn’t it be great if digital content stores like Cydia touted something similar?
Appstore Unrestrict lets you download app updates larger than 150MB over cellular
If you’re like me and find it exceptionally troublesome when iOS refuses to download certain app updates because they’re ‘too large’ to be downloaded over a cellular network, then you’ll just love a free jailbreak tweak called Appstore Unrestrict by iOS developer Julio Verne.
This tweak does away with the silly prompt shown above, allowing you to download app updates of any size even when you’re connected to a cellular network instead of Wi-Fi. Can anyone say hallelujah?
Pin your favorite apps to the Siri Suggestions widget with AppsSiriPin
Apple designed iOS’ Siri Suggestions widget to display recommended apps based on your usage habits. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could configure the Siri Suggestions widget to display the apps you wanted to see the most?
Well stop drooling, because a free jailbreak tweak called AppsSiriPin by iOS developer Julio Verne lets you choose which apps appear in iOS' Siri Suggestions widget.
NCFancy replaces the ‘No Notifications’ text in iOS 10’s Notification Center with storage info
While most of the jailbreak community migrated to iOS 11 several months ago, those still rocking the iOS 10 jailbreak will be excited to learn of a new free jailbreak tweak in town called NCFancy by iOS developer Wh0ba.
NCFancy was explicitly designed for iOS 10 users, and as depicted in the screenshot example above, it replaces Notification Center’s useless ‘No Notifications’ text with something you might appreciate more – a pair of widgets that display your handset’s storage capacity usage.
Good Morning: A tweak that launches your favorite app before you wake up every morning
Many people, including myself, reach for their iPhone after waking up every morning to check their missed notifications and catch up on their favorite app(s). But how would you like it if your iPhone knew what you wanted to do every morning and prepared that information before you ever woke up?
A new jailbreak tweak dubbed Good Morning by iOS developer Justin Proulx is a brilliant first step in this direction.
Night Maps brings a universal Dark Mode experience to various mapview-supported apps
Dark Mode-centric jailbreak tweaks have become quite the hot commodity as of late, but many lack support for the different types of mapviews used in the bevy of map and navigation apps available for download in the App Store.
Enter Night Maps, a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer FoxFortMobile that fills this particular niche. As shown above, Night Maps brings a universal Dark Mode experience to the mapview of almost any map or navigation app you might use on your iPhone or iPad.
Improve your multitasking workflow on iPhone with EasyAccess
You can undoubtedly multitask on an iPhone or iPad, but Apple's implementation leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why iOS developer Kane Buckthorpe released a new jailbreak tweak called EasyAccess.
As you might come to expect from the tweak’s name, EasyAccess intends to make multitasking more usable on the iOS platform. This tweak lets you perform actions in two apps at the same time and effortlessly move between apps by way of a highly-customizable dock that you can summon at any time with Activator.
This tweak transforms iOS’ low battery pop-ups into banner notifications
When your iPhone’s battery level dips below 20%, a persistent pop-up alert appears front and center on your display to let you know. Most people cringe at these kinds of notifications because they get in the way of everything, but a free jailbreak tweak called LowBatteryBanner by iOS developer SparkDev can help.
As you might have inferred from the name already, LowBatteryBanner replaces the standard low battery level pop-up alert with something we can all appreciate: a banner notification.
