These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
If you’re somebody who gets a lot of incoming notifications on a regular basis, then you might find it challenging to feel organized every time you glance at your cluttered Lock Screen.
Newer iterations of iOS have placed additional emphasis on the Lock Screen’s user experience, bringing with it a complete redesign with new features that are intended to lend more user configurability. But other parts of the user interface have been neglected, with Notification Center being a prime example of that.
As notifications stack up on the Lock Screen and in Notification Center while you’re away, you might find yourself coming back to a colorful mess of missed notifications.
It can be convenient to swipe down from the top of your iPhone’s display to get a brief glance at any missed notifications you might have via Notification Center, but the gesture itself sometimes conflicts with the in-app gestures of games and certain full-screen apps.
Gamers and full-screen app users alike share the likelihood of benefiting from the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed PerfectGrabber by iOS developer Netskao.
PerfectGrabber makes it easier to determine the time and your current battery level by incorporating them directly into the Notification Center grabber that traditionally appears when you pull down from the top of the display in a full-screen app, including but not limited to games.
As you use Notification Center to peruse your missed notifications, there might come a time when you need to clear some out of your way. This is why Apple provides the “X” button for clearing certain notifications; but what if the clear button served an even more utilitarian purpose than it already does?
Say hello to a brand new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Numberfications by iOS developer EthanRDoesMC. This tweak effectively replaces the useless “X” in Notification Center’s individual clear buttons with a number to designate just how many notifications are nestled within that particular group.
Although I don’t use my iPhone’s Reachability interface that often, I do think that the gesture for invoking it is particularly clever on notched devices. Unfortunately, since I don’t really use Reachability that much, I find that the gesture goes to waste more than being useful.
If, like me, you rarely use the Reachability interface and would rather use the convenient Home Bar-based gesture for something more useful, then you’ll probably like a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called CantReachMe by iOS developer woodfairy. With it, you can map the native Reachability gesture to a new action of your choosing.
Upon launching your favorite package manager on your jailbroken handset and refreshing your sources this weekend, you should find a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Nougat by iOS developer Shade Zepheri in the changes tab list. And trust us when we say that this is something you’ll almost certainly want to check out.
As you might’ve discerned for yourself already in the screenshot examples above and below, Nougat brings an Android-inspired Notification Center interface to jailbroken iPhones, and it quite literally performs just as good as it looks.
As you use iOS, you’ll come to notice a variety of labels throughout the user interface that display redundant or non-useful information, such as the Status Bar's carrier text, the Lock screen’s ‘Press home to open’ text string, and Notification Center’s ‘No New Notifications’ text.
If you aren’t jailbroken, then you can’t customize any of these labels, but if you are, then you can take advantage of a newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called Label by iOS developer archergs to do just that.
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:
Apple designed iOS’ Notification Center to display the text string ‘No Older Notifications’ if you don’t have any pending notifications that you haven’t already acknowledged. But isn’t it obvious enough that you don’t have any older notifications if Notification Center isn’t displaying any?
Given the apparent redundancy on Apple’s part, iOS developer YaYPIXXO has released a new free jailbreak tweak called CustomNoOlderNotifications that lets users modify Notification Center’s ‘No Older Notifications’ text string to display anything they want.
If you’re jailbroken on iOS 11 or iOS 12 and looking for the ultimate one-stop-shop jailbreak tweak to customize the bulk of your operating system’s primary aesthetic and function, then you’re sure to take a particular liking to a new jailbreak tweak release called Essentials by iOS developer Adam Seiter.
Essentials provides a long list of options for iPhone and iPad users, much like the original classic that we’ve all come to know and love called Springtomize. On the other hand, Essentials supports the latest jailbreakable versions of iOS, whereas Springtomize hasn’t been officially updated since the golden days of the iOS 10 jailbreak.
