Upgrade iOS’ dated notification system with dotto+
iOS’ native notification system is overdue for a facelift, but there’s no telling when Apple might finally commit to such an overhaul. Fortunately, jailbreakers won’t need to wait thanks to the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed dotto+ by iOS developers ConorTheDev and Mirac.
Just as the tweak’s name implies, dotto+ takes a dot-centric approach to iOS’ native notification system. In the screenshot examples above and below, you can see that dotto+ displays a small colored dot at the top-right of app icons on the Home screen when they have pending notification(s) awaiting your attention.

But with some of the built-in apps and features, your Apple Watch can be a helpful tool for getting through a stressful day of work.

This tweak mirrors your iPhone’s silent mode status to your Apple Watch
Both the Apple Watch and iPhone support silent mode – a feature that mutes all incoming notification sounds to prevent awkward situations in certain predicaments, such as a ringtone going off in the middle of class or disturbing participants during a work conference. Unfortunately, this handy feature doesn’t stay in sync between both devices, necessitating manual input for each.
This is a problem that a newly released jailbreak tweak called WatchMuteMirror by iOS developer Cardboard Face aims to resolve. As you may have inferred already from the tweak’s name, WatchMuteMirror keeps silent mode in sync between your iPhone and your Apple Watch so that the latter doesn’t make a bunch of noise even after you toggle the mute switch on the side of your iPhone.
Discern whether you have missed important notifications from your pocket with NotiVibe
Your iPhone probably lights up with push notifications all day long, but only a small fraction of those are likely to be important. Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to discern between important and non-important notifications without looking at your display, and this means that if you’re smack in the middle of something important and can’t look at your handset, you won’t know what you’re missing.
The aforementioned situation doesn’t come up too often, but it may happen more frequently when you’re at work and stuck in meetings all day or when you’re in class and don’t want to make it obvious that you’re checking your iPhone for notifications. For that reason, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called NotiVibe by iOS developer AnthPak may come in clutch.
ColorfulNotifs makes iOS’ notification banners more colorful

As you may have inferred already from the tweak’s somewhat conspicuous name, ColorfulNotifs applies custom color schemes to your handset’s incoming notification banners.
This tweak prevents you from missing Apple Watch notifications when you’re heavily dressed
One thing I love about having an Apple Watch is being tapped on the wrist when all my important notifications come through. But in certain situations, such as when wearing a winter coat with long and heavy sleeves that cover your wrists, feeling those subtle taps can be nearly impossible.
Spearheading a solution to this problem is a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Winter Mode for Apple Watch by iOS developer Ayden Panhuyzen. Once installed, this tweak forces both your Apple Watch and iPhone to notify you about any incoming notifications simultaneously.
