As an avid Apple Watch user, I was excited to learn about a jailbreak tweak dubbed LockWatch by iOS developer Sniper_GER, which ports several of the Apple Watch’s watch faces to the Lock screen of jailbroken devices.
LockWatch continues to undergo development as of this writing, but it’s a fascinating to check the time on your iPhone precisely as you would when glancing at your wrist. Furthermore, the tweak supports both analog and digital watch faces, to provide options for those with personal preference.

The wallpaper is one of the first things you notice every time you use your device, whether you're glancing at the Lock screen to view the time, or accessing the Home screen to launch an app. With that in mind, shouldn’t your wallpaper captivate your interest?
It can be challenging to choose a single wallpaper to use all the time, but with a new free jailbreak tweak called UnsplashWalls by iOS developer ipad_kid, you won't have to. It can keep things exciting by randomizing your iPhone's wallpaper on demand.
Are you one to use stopwatches or timers frequently? If so, then you might like the convenience of a new jailbreak tweak release called Simple Timer (iOS 10) by iOS developer NeinZedd9.
This tweak speeds up your access to handy stopwatch and timer functions from the Lock screen by letting you bypass the stock gestures in Control Center entirely.
If you keep track of several time zones around the globe, then the World Clock tab in the native Clock app can be your best friend. Nevertheless, it takes an effort to find, launch, and check the Clock app whenever you want to know what time it is in another part of the world.

If you have an iPhone, then chances are you rely on the built-in Phone app to handle your inbound and outbound calls. While the app is useful, it’s also barebones by nature and could do with some improvements.
A new jailbreak tweak dubbed CallPlus by iOS developer Elias Sfeir supercharges the Phone app, giving you more features than you’re probably accustomed to out of the box.
One of my long-time favorite jailbreak tweaks for organizing my incoming notifications is Priority Hub, but the tweak was never updated to support iOS 10. If you’re in the same boat and miss this classic tweak, then you might want to try a new release called Atmos by iOS developer Antique.
After you install Atmos, your notifications are grouped by app both on the Lock screen and in Notification Center. With this sort of organization, you can focus on what’s important rather than looking at a chaotic menagerie of mixed notifications.
