Just last week, iOS developer LeminLimez teased Nugget Mobile, an on-device SparseRestore-based device customization utility for iOS 16.0-18.1 beta 4 that does not require a jailbreak to use. But as of this week, it is officially available to the masses.
In a post shared to X (formerly Twitter) Sunday evening, LeminLimez announced the availability of Nugget Mobile via their GitHub page, marking the first official availability of the project since first being teased.
Nugget Mobile needs a pairing file, and from the Home tab of the app, users can quickly apply or remove any tweaks they’ve installed. Citing the GitHub page, getting your pairing file is as simple as following the steps below:
Getting Your mobiledevicepairing File
To get the pairing file, use the following steps:
- Download

- Share the
.mobiledevicepairingfile to your iOS device- Open the app and select the pairing file
You should only have to do this once unless you lose the file and delete the app’s data.

There’s a lot you can do with Nugget Mobile, but as with all add-ons that can make changes to your system without a jailbreak, especially those that modify Mobile Gestalt, there is a risk of boot looping and this should only be used if you know what you are doing.
If you’re okay with the risks and want to give Nugget Mobile a try, then you can download the latest version from the project’s GitHub repository. LeminLimez recently released version 1.0.1 with fixes for the Apple Intelligence enabler feature, which makes it more stable for more devices.
