Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated July 28, 2021

Not a moment goes by that my inquisitive mind doesn't fancy researching something in depth, and for that reason, I think that the internet can be an incredibly valuable resource. Other people in the same boat would probably agree, however picking up their phone to do some research can be a cumbersome, multi-step endeavor.

QuickSearch is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak created by iOS developer iCraze for the sole purpose of making it easier to search the web from literally anywhere on your pwned iPhone or iPad. It achieves the aforementioned goal by allowing the end user to summon a search bar with the help of an Activator action.

While most serious gamers out there are using either a console or a powerful home-built gaming PC, the fact remains that some gamers like to take their games with them on their travels with the help of their smartphones and tablets.

While the mobile gaming experience isn’t nearly the same as it would be on a stationary system, elite gamers may still take their mobile system performance seriously. This may explain why a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called FPSIndicator by iOS developer Brend0n is now available.

Library Card lets iPad users hide apps to the App Library

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 10, 2020

One of the new features to ship with iOS 14 is the App Library. Some people like the App Library because it lets them hide seldom used apps from the Home Screen and without the added clutter of folders, while others dislike it because they have less control over how apps are organized as opposed to creating and managing their own folders. Hiding apps to the App Library is optional, but one thing that struck me as odd is that it’s only available for the iPhone.

Library Card is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer garrepi that ports at least one of the App Library’s key features to jailbroken iPads running iPadOS 14. While it won’t bring the full blown App Library functionality like what we have on the iPhone with iOS 14 to the iPad, it will permit iPad users to hide apps from the Home Screen that they don’t use often without outright deleting them.
