Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 19, 2020

If you’re fortunate enough to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad at your disposal, then that means you have the ability to make your device look completely different from anyone else’s by way of jailbreak tweaks. Whether you prefer subtle aesthetic changes or substantial aesthetic changes, there’s a little bit of something for everyone.

Today we’ll be giving you first-hand look at the newly released Colouration jailbreak tweak by iOS developer kanns. The name practically gives the tweak away, as it’s quite literally a system-wide colorization tweak that allows you to tint user interfaces and change system colors to be whatever you might prefer over Apple’s native selections.

Quiet lets jailbreakers silence app notifications via the Home Screen

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated June 15, 2021

One of the things you can do with a 3D Touch or Haptic Touch-compatible iPhone or iPad is assert a light press or tap-and-hold on individual app icons from the Home Screen to reveal a hidden menu with app-centric options in it. This feature is useful not only because it provides faster access to the most popular features of the app in question, but it can also be a fun way to access them.

While most of these menus sport standard options such as sharing the app, removing the app, or editing the Home Screen, users may also find app-specific options when performing these gestures on apps in which the developer has devoted time or effort into implementing specialized options. Interestingly enough, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Quiet by iOS developer Greg0109 can add another handy feature to these menus: the ability to mute notifications for that specific app.

Get a floating music player on your pwned iPhone with MusicBox

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 17, 2020

Apple’s market-leading music player and streaming service bundled into a nice little package is one of the key reasons why someone might pick an iPhone over a competing smartphone, and while Apple has made accessing music controls much easier over the years with the introduction of Control Center, some find that the music player may still be more than a comfortable number of taps away.

That’s where a newly released jailbreak tweak called MusicBox by iOS developer Greg0109 comes into play. This tweak brings a floating music player to the iOS platform, allowing the user to interact with and control their Now Playing track from anywhere in the operating system without so much as needing to open a single interface to do so.

Sharecuts makes it easier to share Shortcuts with other iPhone or iPad users

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 16, 2020

iPhone and iPad Shortcuts have becoming increasingly popular in recent years, especially since Apple began bundling its acquired Shortcuts app with the native operating systems on these devices. It’s possible to download or even share shortcuts with other people, but perhaps not as readily as some users would like, hence the release of a new and free jailbreak tweak called Sharecuts by iOS developer daniel.

This cleverly named tweak allows users to import and export .shortcut files from directly within the app using the native Share menu interface instead of uploading them to iCloud. The developer claims that the feature is actually built into iOS by default, but that Apple has disabled it by default. With that in mind, Sharecuts merely enables it for jailbreakers.

Jarvis is the all-in-one command center that all iPhone jailbreakers need

Anthony Bouchard ∙ December 15, 2020

The jailbreak community exists because users demand more from their handsets’ user experiences than the manufacturer might be willing to provide out of the box. The iPhone is no different, and Apple knows that.

The latest jailbreak tweak release to elevate the iOS user experience beyond that of what Apple offers on a stock handset is one called Jarvis by iOS developers SouthernGirlWhoCode and MeBlackHat. Jarvis provides the end user more convenient access to a slew of useful features in such a way that the tweak could only be described as an all-in-one command center.
