There sure have been some spicy jailbreak tweak releases lately, and that's one reason why we're all fired up about showing you the latest and greatest ways to modify your pwned iPhone or iPad.

Calendate replaces the Calendar app icon’s label with the current month

Apple designed iOS’ Calendar app to present the current date as a large number on the Home Screen icon itself. I have just one gripe though – most traditional calendars also display the current month somewhere, but Apple’s dynamic Calendar app icon doesn’t seem to follow this tradition.

If you’re interested in aligning your iOS Calendar app icon experience with the traditional paper calendar experience, then you’re certain to appreciate a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Calendate by iOS developer ArtikusHG.

Chapters lets iPhone users name individual Home Screen pages

The iPhone’s Home Screen has always been somewhat bland. The introduction of folders in iOS 4 brought with it a new dimension of app icon organization, but even to this day, I still find myself asking for more on my iOS 13 devices.

If you’re on the same page as me and looking for an interesting new way to organize your Home Screen’s app icons, then we think you’ll enjoy a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Chapters by iOS developer Kritanta. Simply put, this tweak lets users label each one of their Home screen’s pages.
