KeyUtilities, PullToClear, and other jailbreak tweaks to check out this weekend

While there weren’t many new jailbreak tweak releases to speak of last week, we did see a bit of a resurgence this week. Some of that extra activity may have been propagated by the release of the G0blin RC1 jailbreak tool for A7-A9 devices running iOS 10.3.x.

This roundup will cover all the new jailbreak tweaks that launched in Cydia this week. As always, we’ll start by featuring our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.

LiberiOS jailbreak tool for iOS 11.0-11.1.2 receives an update, but still no Cydia

Anyone paying attention to the state of the iOS 11 jailbreak as of late should already know about the LiberiOS semi-untethered jailbreak tool. Initially released back in December, LiberiOS utilizes the tfp0 exploit publicized by security researcher Ian Beer last year to pwn iOS 11.0-11.1.2 devices.

This weekend, LiberiOS received one of its first updates, bringing it up to version 11.0.3. Citing the tool's developer, Jonathan Levin (@Morpheus______), the new version squashes a few bugs found in the previous release, among other things.

PullToClear lets you clear pending notifications with a pull gesture

PullToClear is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer CreatureSurvive that lets you quickly and effortlessly every unread notification from either Notification Center or the Lock screen.

Once installed, you can pull down from either interface to reveal the hidden “Pull To Clear” action, as shown above. Pulling down further reveals the “Release To Clear” action.
