Jailbreak Apps & Tweaks

These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.

This tweak makes it easier to discern when a note was created & last modified

If you’re anything like me, then you might take advantage of your iPhone’s Notes app somewhat frequently to jot down important memos to yourself.

One problem that may arise while using Apple’s Notes app is that it can be tough to discern when Notes were first created, and that’s something that a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called NotesCreationDate13 by iOS developer gilshahar7 tries to address.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Dayn, Hub, Photon, and more…

Thanks to a brand-new 0day exploit, the unc0ver jailbreak now supports iOS 13.5 on all the handsets that can run it. So that just leaves us with one question: what should be we install on our pwned handset?

In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, May 25th to Sunday, May 31st. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.

Replay adds repeat and shuffle buttons to iOS’ Now Playing widget

Given just how invested Apple seems to be in the music industry today, it continues to baffle me to this very day that the company’s own Now Playing widget for the iPhone and iPad lacks two seemingly imperative media controls that I would otherwise use all the bleeping time: Repeat and Shuffle.

If you agree with me here, then I think you’re going to love a new free jailbreak tweak release dubbed Replay by iOS developer Simalary, because it effectively brings the two aforementioned controls to iOS’ Now Playing widget in every instance where it would normally appear.

Dynamik automatically fetches fresh iPhone wallpapers from your favorite subreddits

Some people are happy with the stock wallpapers that come with their iPhones, while others will be happy with the plethora of images they can find while searching the web. No matter which camp you identify with we at iDownloadBlog understand the constant struggle that befalls folks who enjoy changing things up frequently, which is one of the reasons why our own Jim Gresham publishes weekly wallpaper-centric pieces.

But if even that isn’t frequent enough of a change for you and you have a jailbroken device at your disposal, then you might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak named Dynamik by iOS developer JeffResc.

This tweak permits iPhone display brightness adjustments via the volume buttons

It’s easy to change your iPhone’s volume level thanks to a duo of omnipresent volume buttons on the edge of your display. But when your iPhone’s display is too bright or dim, users are compelled to navigate touch interfaces like Control Center, which can sometimes be a challenge if the display is too dim to perceive during the brighter hours of the day.

If you ever wished that changing your iPhone’s display brightness could be as effortless as adjusting the volume, then you’ll welcome a new and free jailbreak tweak called VolumeBrightness by iOS developer Gilshahar7, as it fundamentally lets you toggle between display brightness and volume mode when using your handset’s volume buttons.

Ryan Petrich’s new Powercuff tweak can extend your iPhone’s battery life

Low Power Mode.

Most people are supremely familiar with the iPhone’s native Low Power Mode setting, which can be toggled from Control Center or Settings to reduce the handset’s power draw and extend its battery life in specific situations. But what if you could do more to extend your battery life further?

Famed iOS developer Ryan Petrich was doing a bit of digging into iOS 13 when he happened upon some peculiar settings buried deep within the mobile operating system’s resources. According to Petrich, these settings can benefit the end user by reducing power draw on the handset’s battery, and so he released a new and free jailbreak tweak called Powercuff to bring these options into the light for anyone with a pwned handset:

CCBalance adds an audio balance slider to Control Center

Whether you have a hearing impairment, a faulty iPhone speaker, or a poorly recorded piece of audio that you want to listen to, having the ability to adjust your handset’s audio balance is sometime some audio connoisseurs might consider an essential feature. So why does Apple make it such a PITA to access?

iOS developer KingPuffdaddi recognized that something needed to be done about this, and a newly released jailbreak tweak called CCBalance was conceived. And just as the name implies, this tweak adds an audio balance control to Control Center.

Hub is a powerful all-in-one interface for jailbroken iPhones

One of the first things that you’ll want to do after jailbreaking iOS 13 is familiarize yourself with powerful jailbreak tweaks that augment your handset’s native functionality, and a new release called Hub by iOS developer iOSthemem0d is a great place to start whether you’re new to the jailbreaking scene or not.

As depicted in the screenshot examples above, Hub is an omni-functional interface where users can access a plethora of their iPhone’s most essential features in one place. Complete with shortcuts to toggles and apps, a faster way to multitask, and central access to handy on-the-fly modules, Hub is something that can benefit most people in more ways than one.

EmojiPicker brings a macOS-inspired Emoji interface to the iPad

It’s not very often that we see dedicated jailbreak tweaks for the iPad platform, and that’s one of the reasons why we’re particularly excited to show you a new and free release called EmojiPicker by iOS developer Gui Rambo.

As you might’ve ascertained already from the tweak’s rather telling name, EmojiPicker is intended to augment the Emoji-picking interface in iPadOS for whenever you need access to Emojis while typing in various apps.

BatteryRamp can help jailbroken iPhones charge more quickly

We all appreciate Low Power Mode for what it can do when our iPhone’s battery level gets a bit too low. With the flip of a switch, this feature lets users squeeze just a bit more time out of their near-drained battery, and it’s a godsend that Apple offers this feature on its iPhone platform.

Some even believe that using Low Power Mode while charging can increase the rate at which an iPhone charges by reducing simultaneous power drain. Building upon the likes of this curious idea is a newly released jailbreak tweak called BatteryRamp by iOS developer MegaDev.

Video: These awesome jailbreak tweaks prove jailbreaking isn’t going anywhere anytime soon

Now that the unc0ver 5 jailbreak has been officially released with support for all devices running the recently released iOS 13.5, we're getting a lot of emails from readers who are on the fence about pwning their hardware to try out all those great jailbreak apps and tweaks. As the biggest name in jailbreaking, iDownloadBlog has put together a little video that not only lays out in unambiguous terms the most important reasons you might still want to jailbreak in 2020 but also showcases some of the best jailbreak tweaks that are available today.

SongShare generates multi-platform links for music sharing

Music enriches our lives, both in terms of entertainment and as an emotional and spiritual release. With that in mind, it may come as no surprise that people often share songs with others. But this can become somewhat challenging when you learn that your friends are using entirely different music streaming platforms than you are.

It may seem like a trifling matter, but it really can be rather annoying when I trying to share a Spotify song link with a friend who uses Apple Music or another platform. Obviously, they won’t be able to use my link since they’re subscribed to a different service, and that’s where a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed SongShare by iOS developer Jeff Rescignano comes into play.
