DarkTables augments iOS pop-up menus with dark mode features and more

While the Mac received an official dark mode option in macOS Mojave, iOS wasn’t so fortunate. You can use the Smart Invert feature on your iPhone to achieve a similar effect, but it’s not a real dark mode in the sense of what many would like to have.

Luckily, the jailbreak community conceived a plethora of dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks in recent memory that can help, and a new free release called DarkTables by iOS developer dpkg_ is no exception.

Moonshine ports the Apple Watch charging animation and Nightstand Mode to iPhone

It was only yesterday that we showed you a new jailbreak tweak called SqueakTime that ported most of the Apple Watch’s watch faces to the iPhone. But as of today, there’s a new jailbreak tweak that ports the Apple Watch’s sexy semi-circular charging animation to the iPhone.

Enter Moonshine, a new and highly-anticipated jailbreak tweak by iOS developer LaughingQuoll. Not only does this tweak produce the aforementioned Apple Watch charging animation, but it also displays the current date and time in Apple Watch-style Nightstand Mode throughout the entire charging session whenever the device is awoken.

ShortLook is an OLED-friendly notification system for iOS

If you’re looking for a new way to receive notifications from your favorite apps, then you might take an interest in a new jailbreak tweak called ShortLook by iOS developers Ayden Panhuyzen, Jamie Bishop, Justin Proulx, and Jose Hernandez.

ShortLook represents your incoming notifications with a fresh coat of paint. While they’d typically appear as banners on your Lock screen, ShortLook depicts them as customizable glyphs that are then centered on a black or transparent background.

Ultrasound could be the sexiest volume HUD replacement for iOS we’ve seen yet

By now, almost everyone would agree that the stock volume HUD on iOS is complete and utter garbage. There have been countless jailbreak tweak releases over the years that attempted to remedy this problem, but Ultrasound by iOS developer Ayden Panhuyzen is one of the best we’ve seen thus far.

As shown above, Ultrasound is a minimalist volume HUD replacement that appears at the top left of the display rather than smack-dab in the middle as it usually would out of the box. It’s not much larger than the iPhone X’s notch itself, so if you’re watching videos, it won’t interfere very much.

iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max tech specs

Apple unveiled two flagship handsets at the September 12th event, subtly named the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max, with the former being a 5.8-inch model just like the previous-generation iPhone X and the latter being a 6.5-inch model for those who prefer larger displays.

In this piece, we’ll outline the under-the-hood specs that come standard on the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max models:

Spice up your iPhone X’s notification alerts with Notchification

The iPhone X’s OLED display and ‘notch’ paved the way for Apple to get creative with incoming notification alerts. But as usual, Apple didn’t go all out; incoming notifications look just about the same on the iPhone X as they do on any other iOS handset.

But a new jailbreak tweak dubbed Notchification by iOS developer c1d3r can change that, as it compliments your iPhone X’s notch and OLED display combo with a bevy of attractive new notification animations that are sure to catch your eye.
