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.

FastDeleteKey accelerates text backspacing on jailbroken devices

If you do excessive amounts of typing on your iOS device, then you may be able to benefit from a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed FastDeleteKey by iOS developer CydiaGeek.

FastDeleteKey makes it so that you don't have to wait forever for the keyboard's backspace function to delete large blocks of text. The tweak brings tunable backspace velocities to iOS so that you can move along at just about any rate of speed you desire.

SilentRecorder hides the red Status Bar indicator during active screen recordings

Whenever you begin a screen recording on your iPhone or iPad with the handy Control Center shortcut in iOS 11, your device displays a red indicator in the Status Bar to remind you that a screen recording is in progress.

For those who’d rather not see a red indicator in their recordings at all, a new free jailbreak tweak called SilentRecorder by iOS developer Kiran Patil is now available in Cydia that can help.

Get an advanced iPad-like Dock on your iPhone with FloatingDock

Starting with iOS 11, the Dock has become much smarter on the iPad. Not only does it serve as a spot for your favorite apps, but it can also suggest other apps based upon your usage.

Unfortunately, iPhone users don’t get the same treatment, but a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed FloatingDock by iOS developer Kiran Patil can change that.

CountMyMessages keeps track of how many texts you send and receive

If you send an enormous amount of text messages (iMessages included) to your contacts, then a new free jailbreak tweak called CountMyMessages by iOS developer Kiran Patil may be of interest to you.

Just as the name implies, this tweak provides you with a way of monitoring the total number of messages you’ve sent or received from within the stock Messages app.

Straw displays a banner notification with every song change

If the iPhone or iPad that you use to listen to your favorite media happens to be jailbroken on iOS 11, then you may want to check out a new free jailbreak tweak called Straw by iOS developer Jake Kaslewicz.

This tweak acts as your own personal song announcer by presenting a banner at the top of your display every time a new track starts playing.

StatusBarX, Tractor, and other jailbreak tweaks to try this weekend

Jailbreak Tweaks to check out

The jailbreak community is pumped up with all sorts of new excitement over the news that Ian Beer found and plans to release a tfp0 exploit for iOS 11.3.1. More importantly, CoolStar’s Electra jailbreak is expected to add support for the new exploit in due time.

If you’re as excited as we are about the upcoming ability to jailbreak iOS 11.3.1, then take a moment to familiarize yourself with some of the latest new jailbreak tweaks. This roundup discusses all the jailbreak tweaks released throughout the past week, beginning with our favorites.

Tractor brings much-needed improvements to the Music widget

If you feel like iOS' stock Music widget leaves a lot to be desired, then you aren’t alone. In fact, iOS developer LaughingQuoll recently released a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Tractor with the intention of improving Apple’s sad excuse for a Music widget.

In the before and after screenshots above, you can see how Tractor revitalizes the Music widget’s usefulness. Rather than displaying a list of available music inside the widget, Tractor implements the traditional music controls that you’d expect to see there.

StatusBarX brings the iPhone X’s Status Bar to other iDevices

Love it or hate it, the iPhone X Status Bar looks different from the one on traditional rectangular-display iPhones. Its unique aesthetic accommodates the ‘notch’ at the top of the handset's display.

But if you have an iPhone with a traditional rectangular display and wish your Status Bar looked more like it did on the iPhone X, then you might want to try a new free jailbreak tweak called StatusBarX by iOS developer Adel Hammoud.

Monthlicon displays the current month under the Calendar app icon

Quickly glancing at the Calendar app icon on your Home screen can be a fast and effective way to discern the date/day in a pinch, but iOS developer Maxwell Lang wanted to expand upon that idea with the release of a new free jailbreak tweak called Monthlicon.

As the name of the tweak implies, Monthlicon keeps you informed of the current month in addition to the date and day. It does so by replacing the Calendar app’s Home screen label with the name of the month.
