Adjust each of your iPhone’s various volume levels independently with SmartVolumeMixer

At first glance, it might seem like your iPhone has just one volume control that you can change with the volume buttons at the side of the handset, but there are actually nine different volume controls present on your handset.

It can be challenging to discern which volume control you’re adjusting when you press your device’s volume buttons, and so iOS developer midkin just launched a new jailbreak tweak called SmartVolumeMixer to make life a bit easier in this department.

XEdgeProtect prevents the iPhone X’s Home Bar from conflicting with apps and jailbreak tweaks

Starting with last year’s iPhone X, Apple nixed the Home Button from its entire lineup of smartphones and replaced it with the software-based Home Bar. The Home Bar resides at the bottom of your display, quietly waiting for upward swipe gestures for unlocking the handset or closing foregrounded apps.

The Home Bar compliments the iOS experience like bread and butter, and it also empowered Apple to achieve the signature edge-to-edge OLED display that many of us know and love, but it’s not without its quirks. Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called XEdgeProtect by iOS developer smokin1337 addresses some of these issues.

Nodus premium leather iPhone XS Max cases review

I rarely utilize a case for my iPhone. Something about covering up all the metal and glass just keeps me from appreciating the craftsmanship. When I do cover my iPhone, I want the experience to be just as premium as using it without a case. That's when I turn to The Nodus Collection.

Currently, they are having a Black Friday sale now through Monday November 26 and you can save 20% on their entire website, no code required.

Review: Willgoo case keeps your Apple Pencil charged and its accessories within easy reach

I'm always forgetting to charge my Apple Pencil in a timely fashion, which can be annoying when I'm out and about without any dongles or cables. And because of its design, I refrain from stowing the Apple stylus in my bag or backpack out of fear it might break without any protection. Apple's leather case and others I've tried weren't very helpful. But Willgoo's handy stylus carrying box with a built-in battery has solved my Pencil woes in one fell swoop.

Lace 2 provides jailbreakers with more control over the Lock screen

The Lock screen has come a long way in many of the most recent iterations of iOS. Instead of just being a place to tell the time and view your missed notifications, the Lock screen has become a hub for everything that matters, including app-centric widgets that can help you discern important information at a glance.

Depending on how much you utilize these aspects of your iOS device’s Lock screen, a new free jailbreak tweak called Lace 2 by iOS developer Andreas Henriksson can help you take better advantage of it all.

This tweak removes ads from Facebook Stories, in-app videos, and more

If you use the Facebook app on your iPhone or iPad, then you probably noticed that the social platform has started injecting advertisements in everything you do, from watching videos to perusing Stories, etc.

Advertisements are a necessary evil because they help drive revenue, but too many in one place tend to become a nuisance for the end user. With that in mind, iOS developer Rishanan created a new jailbreak tweak called FacebookAdBlocker that aims to revitalize your Facebook experience.

Dockey review: a simple app to customize your Mac’s Dock

Dockey App Interface Mac Featured

The Dock is an important part of your Mac. It holds the applications you use most often so that you can open them with a click. It can also contain those you currently have open, display badge icons for app notifications, and let you move things to the Trash easily.

So, configuring the Dock to your preference is a key piece to its effectiveness.

You can make some adjustments to the Dock in your System Preferences like location of the Dock, animations for minimizing windows, and changing the size of the icons.

But, if you would like to do just a little bit more with your Dock without having to toy with Terminal, then take a look at Dockey. Dockey is an application that lets you customize your Dock quickly and here’s what it has to offer.

Switches lets you theme your iPhone’s universal toggle switches

Toggle switches have been present in iOS since its conception, and apart from the significant redesign post-iOS 7, these toggle switches have kept mostly the same appearance over the years.

Enter Switches, a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer c1der that resolves this problem by letting you put a custom spin on your jailbroken handset’s system-wide toggle switches.
