The Electra Team released an updated version of the iOS 12-centric Chimera jailbreak tool on Tuesday, not long after the Sileo Team released an updated version of the Sileo package manager. Chimera v1.0.9 is now the latest version of the jailbreak tool available.

Filza comes with a lot of features, including a plain text file viewer, but with a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed FilzaPlus by iOS developer Skitty, you can add a full-blown code editor with syntax highlighting to that list.

Make iOS’ Spotlight search feature more powerful with LuxSit
iOS’ Spotlight search function is severely underpowered, and with just a bit more oomph, it could be a significantly more powerful tool for both casual and power users alike.

With a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called LuxSit by iOS developer LacertosusDeus, you can enjoy an upgraded Spotlight search experience today.

Some people use iOS’ Dictation feature more than others, but if you find yourself on the opposite side of the spectrum and not using it as much as you’d initially anticipated, then you just might benefit from a newly-released jailbreak tweak called EasyKeyboardX by iOS developer Soh Satoh.

With it, you can either use the button to switch between your enabled keyboards more quickly, or you can enter a specific text string that you’d like to be able to paste into any text field in a jiffy.

In a nutshell, Sleepizy lets you set a timer to stop your music directly from the Control Center interface, and it plays nicely with any music-playing application, be it Apple Music, SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube, or something else.
