Dyadic combines Control Center and Today widgets into one interface
Two of the most useful on-demand interfaces in all of iOS are Control Center and the Today widget page, and if you’re any bit familiar with how iOS works, then you’d know that these interfaces are entirely separate from one another. But they don’t have to be… at least not anymore.
Enter Dyadic a newly released jailbreak tweak by iOS developer nicho1asdev that combines the two interfaces into one for a slicker user experience. What’s more is the tweak works seamlessly on both iPhones and iPads alike, ensuring a seamless ‘just works’ experience across all your jailbroken iOS devices.

CPUTool lets iOS jailbreakers underclock their CPU and GPU
Apple doesn’t provide much by way of power savings on the iOS platform apart from the Low Power Mode feature and the use of general common sense with regard to reducing battery drain.

Curb privacy paranoia when lending your iPhone to someone else with Spy
When you’re generous enough to loan your iPhone to a friend or family member, or even worse a complete stranger to make a phone call, one thing that probably weighs heavy on your mind is whether that person is invading your privacy by launching apps they shouldn’t be, such as Messages, Notes, or Photos to name a few.
I’ve found myself in this situation quite a few times myself, and that’s why I’m particularly excited about a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Spy by iOS developer Elias. This tweak works to your advantage in situations like the one above by logging the apps that a user opens with the mere flip of a toggle switch.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: B3rry, Keyboard Plus, SmarterLPM and more…
Jailbreak teams in the community today have shown off some rather spicy teasers as of late, and such things are why it's such an awesome time to be a part of everything.
If you’re jailbroken and looking for new jailbreak tweaks to install, then you’ve come to the right place. This roundup will encompass all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, March 16th to Sunday March 22nd. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases and then wrap things up with a roundup of the rest afterward.
Jailbreakers can embrace Home screen minimalism with HideSurplus
Apple designed iOS’ Home screen such that it would be easy to interact with. Fingertip-sized application and folder icons are accompanied by distinguishable name labels, and the permanent row of app icons that we call the Dock sports its own unique background to help it stand out from everything else.
While there really isn’t anything wrong with the stock iOS Home screen setup, the fact remains that jailbreakers are always searching for ways to personalize it. With that in mind, minimalists are likely to appreciate a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed HideSurplus by iOS developer 8a1wkar.
This tweak makes Control Center’s brightness & volume sliders pill-shaped
If you’re enjoying a jailbroken installation of iOS 13 by way of either checkra1n or unc0ver and you’re interested in making your Control Center interface more discernible from a crowd, then you just might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed PillVolume by iOS developer neoney.
As depicted in the before and after screenshot examples above, PillVolume substitutes Control Center’s conventional rounded-corner (but rectangular) brightness and volume sliders with an alternative pill-shaped design that appears much rounder by nature.
Explore the new iPad Pro in augmented reality
The refreshed iPad Pro that was unveiled yesterday adds a LiDAR scanner, a first for Apple, to improve augmented reality experiences significantly. And what better way to explore the new tablet from all possible angles, in your home or work environment, than augmented reality?
