Upcoming tweak brings a Do Not Disturb Lock screen toggle to the iPhone

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 11, 2018

Flusterless is an upcoming jailbreak tweak that will bring a handy Do Not Disturb (DND) toggle to the iPhone's Lock screen. The elegantly designed tweak positions the toggle to the left of the Lock screen clock, and it is invoked using a simple swipe gesture.

Enabling DND using a swipe displays a moon icon that matches the status bar icon indicating that DND is enabled. Disabling DND using a swipe gesture briefly displays a sun icon, which quickly fades from view. If you're someone who often uses DND, then Flusterless is a jailbreak tweak that you should keep an eye out for.

How to link Fantastical to the stock Calendar app icon

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated May 2, 2017

I absolutely love Fantastical. It's a wonderful way to manage my week-to-week activities via my iPhone, and there's a desktop client as well. Fantastical uses "real" language when it comes to adding appointments to your calendar. This means that I can simply type: Dinner with the wife next Wednesday at six, and it knows to setup an appointment on March 13 at 6PM. That's really just the beginning of how useful Fantastical is, but this isn't meant to be a review of Fantastical, this is a tutorial that shows you how to link Fantastical to the stock Calendar app.

‘PassIt’ allows you to open links directly within 1Password

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated April 11, 2018

As a newly converted 1Password user, it's always been sort of an annoyance to have to create a javascript bookmarklet in order to quickly open a website within 1Password's interface. If you happen to be jailbroken, however, this procedure just got a lot easier.

PassIt is a new jailbreak tweak that adds an "Open in 1Password" option to Safari's sharing menu. Yes, it's basically just a glorified javascript bookmarklet, but it's much easier to use, and it looks great too.

Shake your device into Airplane mode with ‘Shake Air’

Cody Lee ∙ March 2, 2013

For some reason, Apple insists on keeping frequently used settings toggles buried deep within the Settings app. From the Lock screen, doing things like enabling/disabling Bluetooth or Wi-Fi take more than a few steps.

Activating a device's Airplane mode, however, is a bit easier, as it sits on the top level in the Settings app. But for those who still find the process to be a pain, we've got a new jailbreak package for you called Shake Air...

DisableNCPlus lets you kill Notification Center on a per-app basis

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 11, 2018

How many times have you been swiping through a level of Infinity Blade, or Fruit Ninja, and accidentally pulled down the Notification Center? I know it happens enough to me to be a nuisance.
