Appaze 3
Appaze 3 is a powerful jailbreak tweak that lets you set pre-configured system toggles and behaviors that will automatically take effect when launching certain apps so that you have the most user-tuned experience you can imagine.
Even better is the fact that the tweak can set those settings back to how they were prior to launching those apps once you close them, so it’s as if the options you set are specifically tailored for the user experiences of those particular apps.
You can learn more about Appaze 3 in our full review post.
Sanjeh
Maybe when you connect your iPhone or iPad to a power source, you expect some fun animation to let you know that the power is flowing.
Sanjeh is a jailbreak tweak that can give you this type of user experience, and best of all, it’s fully customizable by way of unique colors and fonts.
You can learn more about Sanjeh and how it works in our full review post.
