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.

NoIdleTimer negates the Lock screen’s lockout timer if your device is charging or playing music

Apple designed your iOS device’s Lock screen to go back to sleep after a predefined timeout period, and while this can be useful for battery savings in certain circumstances, there are some instances where this might be irrelevant or where you may favor performance over battery life.

For that reason, iOS developer Nepeta came out with a new free jailbreak tweak called NoIdleTimer that lets you disable the Lock screen’s automatic lockout period so long as certain conditions are met.

Sonus12 is a minimalist, yet customizable volume HUD for iOS

We feel like we’re beating a dead horse every time we say that the iPhone’s native volume HUD sucks, so we’ll just skim past that line and get right to the point of why you clicked on this post. Say hello to a new jailbreak tweak called Sonus12, a drop-dead gorgeous volume HUD replacement for iPhones and iPads by iOS developer ubik.

Sonus12 is minimalistic by design, which prevents it from obstructing your view when you adjust your handset’s volume level. By default, it appears at the top of the display, and it’s very compact.

Essentials: An all-in-one SpringBoard customization tweak for iOS 11 and 12

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.

MusicArtwork changes the Music app’s icon depending on the Now Playing track

A large part of Apple’s business model involves Apple Music, and so it’s no surprise that the company spend a lot of its time refining the music experience on its mobile devices. That aside, Apple could do more, and those who agree might enjoy a new jailbreak tweak release called MusicArtwork by iOS developer Cole Cabral.

Right out of the box, MusicArtwork replaces iOS’ native Music app icon with an image file that is representative of the Now Playing song’s album artwork. You can view a few different examples of the tweak in action via the multitude of images that we’ve included in this piece.

CydiaUpdates puts package updates in Cydia’s ‘Changes’ tab alongside new releases

Cydia is still the most-used package manager on the plethora of jailbroken handsets today, and since it serves the bulk of the jailbreak community, it only makes sense that folks will want to modify it much like the rest of their pwned handset.

With that in mind, we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak called CydiaUpdates by iOS developer SwedishPrxck. This tweak changes the way you see new packages and their respective updates in the Cydia app’s native Changes tab.

CopyLog: A full-fledged Clipboard manager for jailbroken iOS devices

CopyLog clipboard manager for jailbroken devices.

Whenever you copy or cut something on your iPhone or iPad, it gets stored in what’s called the Clipboard such that it can be pasted elsewhere in the future. By default, iOS only lets you store one item in the Clipboard at a time, but a new Clipboard manager jailbreak tweak called CopyLog by iOS developer TomT000 changes this to make copying and pasting several items so much easier.

Citing the developer, CopyLog’s user interface has been hugely inspired by the popular Mac app Paste, and enables you to keep track of numerous Clipboard items. What’s more is CopyLog lets you favorite certain Clipboard items, which helps you save them for easy access later.

Centurion: A Lock screen widget that displays notifications and events at a glance

The iPhone’s stock Lock screen is as barebones as can be, and while some people love the minimalistic look, others with Apple would make better use of the available screen real estate. Those in the latter boat, much like myself, will come to appreciate a new jailbreak tweak called Centurion by iOS developer maximehip.

Centurion is essentially a new widget that appears just below the date and time on the Lock screen with an informative view regarding current/upcoming events and the number of missed notifications for some of your favorite apps.

Access your favorite apps faster with AppShortcut

I’ve always been a fan of application shortcut-centric jailbreak tweaks, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m excited to show you a new release called AppShortcut by iOS developer donbytyqi.

AppShortcut is a customizable system-wide application shortcut interface that provides you with quick access to your favorite apps whether you’re on the Lock screen, Home screen, or in the middle of an app already.

Customize your iPhone’s locking sound with CustomSounds

Those sporting jailbroken devices are always looking for fun and quirky ways to customize the iOS experience, and we’re right there with you. That’s why we’re excited to show you a new free jailbreak tweak called CustomLock by iOS developer TylerD3v.

Just as the name implies, CustomLock empowers users to change the locking sound of their jailbroken iPhone or iPad – effectively replacing the ‘lock’ sound that naturally transpires when using the sleep button to lock the device.

Jailbreak tweaks of the week: Meteoroid, Modulus, SmartRotate, and more

There has been no shortage of new jailbreak tweak releases since the unc0ver jailbreak picked up support for iOS 12, and with that in mind, we're excited to go over all the new releases with you.

This roundup encompasses all the new jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from Monday, March 18th to Sunday, March 24th. As usual, we'll begin by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.

Modulus brings a slew of useful new modules to Control Center

Making the Control Center interface modular was perhaps one of the greatest things Apple ever did to improve the iOS experience. On the other hand, Apple left a few things out of the interface from the start and hasn’t yet opened the platform to third-party developers for custom toggles and shortcuts. With that in mind, it certainly pays off to have a jailbreak.

A new jailbreak tweak called Modulus by iOS developer LaughingQuoll brings a slew of new third-party modules to the Control Center interface, and at first glance, each of the new modules seem to be rather impressive.

SnoozeX provides a more intuitive firing alarm interface for iOS

Whenever one of your iPhone’s alarm fires, you’re presented with an interface where you can either snooze or stop the alarm indefinitely. Many have expressed their dissatisfaction with iOS’ native alarm firing interface, and with that in mind, iOS developer VincentMDIM came out with a jailbreak tweak called SnoozeX to address that.

SnoozeX makes the iOS’ alarm firing interface more intuitive, especially for those who have trouble waking up early in the morning after their alarm goes off. As depicted by the screenshot examples above, SnoozeX makes the alarm firing interface easier to interact with, which will be appreciated by folks who are still half asleep when the alarm sounds.
