Hush toggles Do Not Disturb by placing your iPhone face down

Do Not Disturb mode, which can be toggled from Control Center or from the Settings app, is a timelessly handy feature that I use to keep iPhone notifications at bay when I’m busy.

But a new free jailbreak tweak called Hush by iOS developer smokin1337 promises to make accessing Do Not Disturb mode even easier by merely letting you place your handset face-down to activate the feature.

This tweak displays a countdown to your alarm in Control Center

If you take advantage of the alarm feature on your iPhone or iPad as often as I do, then a new free jailbreak tweak called CCAlarmETA by iOS developer LonestarX may come off as intriguing to you.

Precisely as the name implies, CCAlarmETA puts an ETA indicator inside of the Control Center-based alarm shortcut any time there's an active alarm on your handset.

How to have YouTube nudge you when it’s time to take a break from watching

Do you lack self-control? Then you're not surprised that YouTube is a major time-suck.

It's perfectly fine to go down YouTube's rabbit hole every now and then. The world's most-trafficked video site, once a clearinghouse for kitten videos, has become both a cultural phenomenon and a go-to platform for the next-generation of truly innovative video creators.

And with its ever-improving recommendation engine, it’s all too easy to waste precious time on related videos that you didn’t really mean to watch but deemed too interesting to pass on. YouTube's app features custom reminders for when you'd like to take a break from watching.

This tweak gives your iPhone a redesigned activity indicator

You might have noticed that your iPhone displays a spinner-like animation in the Status Bar whenever you access the internet or perform functions in specific apps. This spinner, which is commonly referred to as the activity indicator, lets you know that your device is actively doing something.

For the most part, the activity indicator doesn’t get much attention, but a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed KITTLoader by iOS developer LonestarX gives it an entirely new look and feel.
