Centaur supercharges Notification Center with modules and other new features

Anthony Bouchard ∙ May 20, 2019

There’s no better place in iOS to look for missed notifications than the Notification Center itself, but you wouldn’t be alone if you thought that the native Notification Center interface could benefit from a facelift.

If you’re in the market for a refreshed Notification Center interface, then you just might come to appreciate a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Centaur by iOS developer Muirey03. Centaur reimagines Notification Center by incorporating a slew of useful features like Control Center toggles, device information, and music controls, to name a few:

This tweak transforms the Home Bar into a Now Playing progress indicator

Anthony Bouchard ∙ May 20, 2019

All notched handsets, including the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max, ditch the traditional Home Button in lieu of the new Home Bar, which is a software-centric ‘grabber’ that lives at the bottom of your display. The Home Bar is used to unlock your handset, return to the Home screen, and access the App Switcher, but that’s about it.

It seems like the Home Bar could be made to do so much more, and that's why we were particularly fascinated by the release of a new free jailbreak tweak called HomeBarMediaProgress by iOS developer Jordan Koch (eskimo_dev), as it aims to give the Home Bar an added purpose. More specifically, the tweak transforms the Home Bar into a status indicator for any Now Playing media that might be playing in the background.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ May 20, 2019

Most people use the Dock on their Home screen for fast access to their favorite apps, but that isn’t the case for everyone; some jailbreakers, for example, run custom Home screen setups and may prefer to hide the Dock altogether.

If you fall into the latter group above, then you may take an interest in a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed DockRemover by iOS developer Blake Boxberger. As you've probably inferred from the name already, DockRemover hides the  Dock from your iOS device’s Home screen, offering a cleaner overall aesthetic.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ May 18, 2019

Apple works hard to make each incremental iOS release look spiffier, but some places that don’t receive as much attention as they should include the native power down menu and volume HUD interfaces, just to name a few.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated January 31, 2022

One of the weakest links in iOS’ native multitasking capabilities is the clipboard management system, and perhaps unsurprisingly, there’ve been a lot of jailbreak tweaks released in recent memory to address this problem, such as CopyLog and Copypasta to name a few.

As for those who favor the classics over newer and more lightweight releases, Pasithea 2 by iOS developer Cannathea can provide a more full-fledged clipboard-access experience, and with native keyboard integration at that.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ May 15, 2019

Those who’ve been closely subscribed to the jailbreak scene as of late might’ve noticed the sudden stereo silence from team unc0ver following the release of the Electra Team’s Chimera jailbreak for iOS 12.0-12.1.2, but don’t be fooled.
