Improve your iPhone’s clipboard management capabilities with Copypasta
It’s no secret that iOS’ native clipboard leaves a lot to be desired, and that should underscore why there’s been such an uptick in the number of clipboard manager-centric apps and jailbreak tweaks for iOS as of late.
Although we’ve come to appreciate much of what’s available already, we’re also excited to discuss a new free release called Copypasta by iOS developer Nepeta. Its ultra-clean interface paired with the lack of a price tag make it a compelling option for many.
Five Icon Dock lets you exceed your iPhone Dock’s four icon limit
Given just how expansive Apple made the Dock on macOS and on iOS for iPads, it’s almost a shame that Apple limits the number of app icons you can have on your Dock in iOS for the iPhone and iPod touch.
With that in mind, I’ve always had a soft spot for tweaks that shattered that limitation, and that’s mainly why I’m excited to share the release of a free jailbreak tweak called Five Icon Dock (iOS 11 & 12) by iOS developer Guillermo Morán, the same creator behind the popular Eclipse dark mode tweak.
This tweak does away with the red webview warning banner in Sileo
If you’re using the Sileo package manager on the Chimera or Electra jailbreak from the Electra Team, then you’ve undoubtedly stumbled upon a few repositories where the app displays an unsightly red banner just below the tweak’s name with a warning about how web view depictions are deprecated.
Those who use the Sileo app on a regular basis have probably gotten in the hint by now, and so if you’re getting tired of seeing this red banner each time you go to download a jailbreak tweak, then you just might come to appreciate a new free release called SileoNoBanner by iOS developer JunesiPhone.

SugarCane12 puts percentages in Control Center’s brightness and volume sliders
Using my iPhone’s Control Center interface to adjust my display brightness and volume level has become a second nature to me, and while I love the visuals that Apple has implemented in the latest iteration of Control Center, I still think they could do better with the information displayed there.
With that in mind, I was pleasantly surprised to see a free jailbreak tweak called SugarCane12 from iOS developer manolz. This Control Center add-on displays numeric percentages in the display brightness and volume level sliders so that you have a better representation of their current levels.
