It seems like there’ve been a lot of intriguing jailbreak tweak releases recently amid the calm of jailbreak development.

iPadOS
Do you use Control Center on your Mac?
With the release of macOS 11 Big Sur, Apple welcomed a primarily iOS-focused feature to the desktop: Control Center. Now that it's been available for a few months, it's time to get your thoughts.
Fall asleep to music often? If so, Sleepizy 2 can improve the experience
It’s no secret that you can use your iPhone to fall asleep to your favorite music, but the way it’s implemented by Apple from the factory is intensely restricted. More specifically, users only get the option to set a timer that, after it ends, causes any music playback to end.
This tweak makes apps open links in the Safari app instead of an in-app web browser
One of the things you’ll notice when tapping on links in apps on your iPhone or iPad is that some apps launch the full-fledged Safari web browser app to load a web page while others launch an in-app web browser that’s based on Safari.
Kumquat gives jailbreakers the customizable Now Playing widget they deserve
The Now Playing interface that greets music listeners on the iPhone’s Lock Screen works, but it’s not quite as aesthetically pleasing as many would like. Interestingly, it receives minor changes with each major iteration of iOS, but none that really stand out to someone who’d like a total redesign.
This small SnowBoard theme gives the respring interface a Siri-like makeover
If there’s one thing jailbreakers see a lot of, it’s the little animated loading circle that appears following a respring.
Here’s your list of devices expected to get iOS 15 and iPadOS 15
iOS and iPadOS 15 will shed support for older hardware. Based on everything we know, here's what we believe to be the complete list of supported iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models.
Checkra1n jailbreak updated to v0.12.4 with hot-fix for booting issues on A9X devices
Just a couple of weeks ago, the checkra1n team updated the checkra1n jailbreak tool to version 0.12.3 with official support for iOS & iPadOS 14.5 along with a bevy of other miscellaneous improvements.
Apple halts downgrades to iOS 14.5 following last week’s iOS 14.5.1 release
In a typical Apple fashion, the Cupertino-based iPhone and iPad manufacturer has stopped signing both iOS & iPadOS 14.5 after the newer iOS & iPadOS 14.5.1 firmware has been available to the general public for one week.
Apple’s decision to stop signing iOS & iPadOS 14.5 means that those who’ve upgraded to iOS or iPadOS 14.5.1 can no longer easily downgrade to the previous firmware. Likewise, those using even older versions of iOS or iPadOS will be compelled to upgrade to version 14.5.1 instead of being able to manually install 14.5 via Finder or iTunes.
Apple seeds third iOS 14.6, iPadOS 14.6, macOS 11.4, watchOS 7.5, and tvOS 14.6 betas to developers

Vibin virtually eliminates distractions during media playback on pwned iPhones
I love using my iPhone to listen to music, but I can’t lie – I really can’t stand how iOS reduces the music playback volume when a notification tone comes through. This problem really becomes evident when your favorite part of the song is about to come up and someone just happens to text message you at that exact moment.
All I can say to that is… Ugh!
