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 like me, then you probably don’t appreciate it when someone grabs your iPhone and tries to guess your passcode. Fortunately, a free jailbreak tweak called Hidden Cam by iOS developer Baw Apple can help you determine who’s doing this when you aren’t looking.
Hidden Cam works by snapping a selfie every time your passcode gets entered incorrectly. This method is incredibly efficient because it won’t use any system resources if your passcode or biometric authentication succeeds.
One of the coolest things you can do with a jailbroken device is to change the system font to something a bit more exotic than what you’d typically observe on a stock handset. But not all font-swapping tweaks support Apple’s latest A12(X) handset varieties.
Here to help with the dilemma above is a new free jailbreak tweak release called A-Font by iOS developer Baw Apple.
It was only yesterday that we showed you a free jailbreak tweak called CodeScrambler 12, which randomized the positions of the number keys on your Lock screen’s passcode entry screen. But while we’re on the topic of obfuscating the passcode entry screen, why not check out a new free release dubbed BinaryPasscode by iOS developer eskimo_dev?
As shown in the before and after screenshot examples above, BinaryPasscode replaces the typical numbers that appear inside each of the passcode entry buttons with binary-centric dot patterns. BinaryPasscode should look familiar if you’ve ever used a similar tweak such as BinaryKeypad before.
As you interact with the Lock screen’s passcode entry interface, you’ll notice that the number keys are always in the same place. This makes entering passcodes easier, but it also makes it effortless for nosy folks to glance over your shoulder and watch the numbers you dial in to unlock your device.
Here to help with this problem is a free jailbreak tweak called CodeScramber 12 by iOS developer eskimo_dev. As you might’ve already deduced from the tweak’s name, CodeScrambler 12 randomizes the locations of the passcode’s numeric keys every time you try to unlock your handset, as shown above.
Whether you’re jailbroken by way of Chimera, Electra, or unc0ver, you’re undoubtedly looking for new ways to trick out your liberated iPhone or iPad. That’s why we make these dedicated jailbreak tweak roundups – to make finding the perfect add-ons as easy as possible for you.
In this roundup, we’ll go over all the newest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, May 20th to Sunday, May 26th. As usual, we’ll begin by discussing our favorite releases first, and then we’ll outline the rest afterward.
iOS’ native Now Playing interface is good enough for most people, but if you demand more out of your user experience than the average Joe and have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad in your possession, then you may want to feast your eyes on a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Nereid by iOS developer Nepeta.
From what we can gather, Nereid brings an improved Now Playing interface to your handset’s Lock screen as you listen to your music. It can set your wallpaper as the Now Playing track’s album artwork, permit color and control customizations, and much more.
The Electra Team released an updated version of the Chimera jailbreak tool for iOS 12.0-12.1.2 just this morning with significant speed improvements regarding the jailbreak process (the point where the tool exploits your device); but the fun isn’t stopping there.
Shortly after releasing the latest version of Chimera, the CoolStar-led Sileo Team launched an updated iteration of the Sileo Package manager with bug fixes and improvements.
Sometimes when you tap on a link on your iOS device, your handset bumps you from one app to another. Under these circumstances, iOS puts an interactive shortcut in the Status Bar known as Breadcrumbs so that you can return to the previous app, but Apple could have done so much better in this department.
If you’re in agreeance, then you might want to peek at a newly-released jailbreak tweak called AppCrumb by iOS developer sharedRoutine. It improves Apple’s Breadcrumb links by replacing the standard Status Bar shortcut with a more full-fledged windowed app experience.
The Home screen is best known for its humble duty of serving your application icons to your fingertips on demand, but one element of it that often get overlooked in Apple’s software redesigns is the page indicator just above the Dock.
If you’re ready to give your Home screen’s page indicator a sexy new makeover, then you just might want to try a newly-released jailbreak tweak called Pagebar by iOS developer CalicoCat. This tweak lets you theme and customize the Home screen’s standard page indicator, making breathtaking new aesthetics like those depicted in the animated GIF below possible:
iOS device users can invoke Siri on demand with a simple button press or by muttering ‘Hey Siri’ under certain circumstances, and jailbreakers have even more options for calling upon their virtual assistant for help, such as Ryan Petrich’s Activator extension. But who said your options had to stop there?
With a free jailbreak tweak called SiriApp by iOS developer level3tjg, you can add a dedicated application icon to your Home screen for invoking Siri.
The notch at the top of modern Face ID-enabled handsets such as the iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max is a non-issue to me, but some people can’t seem to wrap their minds around having anything besides a straight line integrated with the display’s edge.
If you identify with the latter group of people and your notched handset is jailbroken, then you’ll be excited to learn that you can now download a newly-released jailbreak tweak called SmallStatusBarX by iOS developer level3tjg to hide the notch and enable the legacy Status Bar on relevant handsets.
iOS 11 and 12 introduced a lot of changes over iOS 10, but in the aesthetics department, the large emboldened titles that appear in certain apps really tend to stick out.
The emboldened titles don’t look terribly horrendous, but one of the most common complaints that we see regarding them is Apple’s choice to left-align the text. Given the circumstances, iOS developer level3tjg came up with a free jailbreak tweak called CenteredLargeTitles to resolve this debacle for the picky ones.
