iOS 13

Control the result of every Siri coin toss with SiriCoinControl

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 15, 2020

Not that we condone cheating in any way shape or form, especially when it would involve a reward, but it can sometimes be exciting to prank your friends with rigged coin flips and the likes. With that in mind, we think some pranksters might have a lot of fun with a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called SiriCoinControl by iOS developer Wes.

Just as the name implies, SiriCoinControl lets users control the outcome of coin flips performed by the Siri voice assistant on pwned iPhones and iPads. If you don’t have any two-headed coins laying around, then this tweak lets you backpedal on your virtual assistant while still being able to force a heads or tails outcome on demand.

Violet makes the Now Playing track’s album art into your handset’s wallpaper & more

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 15, 2020

Jailbreakers have a lot of reasons to enjoy using their iPhone, perhaps more than those using unmodified handsets. This very same sentiment pertains to iOS’ music consumption experience, which can be completely augmented with the help of fun and quirky jailbreak tweaks such as a new and free release called Violet by iOS developer Litten.

As depicted in the screenshot examples above, Violet complements the music consumption experience on the iOS platform by automatically replacing the handset’s existing wallpaper image with that of the album artwork of any Now Playing track. Best of all, this process happens in real time and supports both the Apple Music and Spotify Music apps.

StorageByName lets you sort iOS’ storage usage page using various parameters

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 14, 2020

With apps becoming more advanced and powerful with each passing day, an unfortunate side effect is that those same apps grow in size. Consequently, the apps we use every day have a tendency to eat up significant portions of our handsets’ valuable non-upgradeable storage space.

iPhone and iPad users can discern which apps are using the most substantial helpings of your storage by visiting the Settings → General → iPhone/iPad Storage preference pane, but it sure would be nice if Apple provided more sorting options. That’s where a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed StorageByName by iOS developer udevs comes into play.

NotiFill & NotiFill Pro give banner notifications a fun and quirky ‘fill’ animation

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated August 30, 2020

As you use your iPhone or iPad throughout the day, you’re likely to receive a number of banner notifications from various apps, whether they’re comprised of text messages coming from Apple’s Messages app, status updates coming from Facebook, or activity alerts coming from Twitter. One thing all these banner notifications have in common, despite coming from different apps, is that they’re particularly boring.

NotiFill & NotiFill Pro are a newly released set of and free and paid jailbreak tweak by iOS developer rafferli that aims to make banner notifications of all types more exciting to look at. It achieves this feat by giving banner notifications animated color fills that may look somewhat reminiscent of loading bars.

Mask album artwork in the Apple or Spotify Music apps for free with Hazmat

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated March 21, 2023

It was only a couple of days ago that we showed you a new jailbreak tweak dubbed N95, which brought a myriad of different masking effects to the album artwork in the Apple Music app and Now Playing widget interfaces found throughout iOS. Since N95 was a paid tweak that offered simple functionality, it may come as no surprise that a team of iOS developers comprised of CaptInc, MegaDev, and Charlie While have just released a free alternative dubbed Hazmat.

As shown in the screenshot examples above, Hazmat works in a similar way to N95 by offering users with various masking effects that can give the Apple Music or Spotify Music app’s Now Playing interface a customized and sleek makeover. Furthermore, as you’re about to witness, the tweak is just as easy to use as N95…

Adjust your handset’s volume button sensitivity with Crescendo

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 12, 2020

Volume level adjustments are a particularly regular practice for most iPhone or iPad users, whether they’re watching videos or listening to music or podcasts of some sort. One thing that has always been somewhat of a pain point however is that making substantial volume level adjustments can take more time than we’d like.

Crescendo is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer YulkyTulky that addresses the aforementioned scenario by letting users configure a custom volume step amount. In other words, you can make your volume button presses more or less impactful on your handset’s actually volume level.

Tabsa13 gives jailbroken iPhones iPad-like tabbed web browsing

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 12, 2020

One of the things I love most about web browsing on my iPad is that Safari supports a tabbed browsing experience. I’ve wanted Apple to implement this very functionality for iPhone for years, but instead, we get a gimped card switcher-style web browsing experience that makes it more cumbersome to switch between websites on the fly.

If, like me, you wish the iPhone had an iPad-style tabbed web browsing experience, then there’s no doubt in our minds that you’re going to enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Tabsa13 by iOS developer Kevin Muller as it brings this very functionality to jailbroken iPhones everywhere.

Indy brings interactive features to the Status Bar of jailbroken iPhones

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 11, 2020

Your iPhone’s Status Bar is great for giving you at-a-glance information about your handset, be it your current battery level, wireless connection strength, or the time. On the other hand, the Status Bar is also perhaps one of iOS’ most underutilized interface elements.

This is something that iOS developer Burrit0z wanted to change about the iPhone’s user experience, and so he created a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Indy to do just that. As you can discern for yourself in the screenshot examples above, the tweak gives users a lot more insight about information depicted by Status Bar indicators with no more than a tap.

Altilium alerts you of low battery a third time at a percentage you choose

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 11, 2020

If you put your iPhone through a hard days’ worth of work without any charging, then chances are you’ll eventually see the 20% and perhaps even the 10% battery remaining alerts as the handset’s battery percentage falls. Still, 20% battery is enough to get you through a solid hour of use, and many people have a tendency to dismiss these alerts until their battery level gets so low that the device finally dies.

Because of the aforementioned circumstances, iOS developer quiprr figured that it might be beneficial for iPhone users to have a third low battery level alert at a user-designated percentage. With that thought in mind, a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Altilium was conveniently conceived.

Selenium lets jailbreakers ‘snooze’ individual notifications until later

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated August 21, 2022

Whether you’re busy and just can’t get to notifications right this very second or you simply wish you had the ability in iOS to save specific notifications for a future time or date, we believe a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Selenium by iOS developer LGAriv provides an optimal solution for both of these potential scenarios.

Selenium is being marketed by the developer as a notification-snoozing interface for the iOS platform. It’s used to make specific notifications disappear for a certain amount of time before reappearing in the same place they were originally snoozed from. Moreover, reappearing notifications include a helpful indicator to remind the user that they were previously snoozed with Selenium.

N95 brings slick effects to Apple Music by masking the album artwork

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated February 17, 2022

If you enjoy listening to music with your iPhone, then you’re definitely not alone. While there are a lot of options available for listening to music on the iOS platform, Apple Music is perhaps the most popular because of its deep first party integration with Apple’s native interfaces and services. As great as it is, however, it doesn’t offer a whole lot by way of customization…

Sonic offers jailbroken iPhone users an easy way to create and import ringtones

Anthony Bouchard ∙ August 10, 2020

Most people I know like to configure custom ringtone(s) on their iPhone so that they aren’t listening to the boring stock ringtones every time someone tries to get ahold of them. Users have the option of purchasing ringtones from Apple’s iTunes Store or creating their own with the help of dedicated software.

If the iPhone you plan to create ringtones for is jailbroken, then you now have the additional option of using a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Sonic by iOS developer Zeph. By design, Sonic offers users an all-in-one solution for creating and importing ringtones and text tones to the ringtone/text tone libraries from the iPhone itself.
