The App Switcher experience isn’t all bad on the iOS platform, but if you’re anything like me, then you can appreciate tiny modifications that help bring an interface to life with a modern look and feel.
If you’re in the same boat, then you will probably enjoy using a new and free jailbreak tweak called ModernSwitcher by iOS developer MTAC, as it makes a few minor visual improvements to the current App Switcher interface to make it look nicer overall.
iOS’ App Switcher, love it or hate it, leaves a lot of wiggle room for improvement. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise to anyone that iOS developer Gabriele Filipponi and designer Alessandro Chiarlitti set out to improve it with the launch of a new jailbreak tweak called Gesto.
In a nutshell, Gesto augments your iOS handset’s App Switcher with powerful new features and integrations with the primary goal of making multitasking easier. And let us just say, based on our mind-blowing hands-on experience, this isn’t a tweak you’ll want to miss.
Closing out of all the applications in your App Switcher is generally frowned upon because it defeats the whole purpose of having apps suspended for faster loading times the next time you go to use them. On the other hand, some people just can’t help themselves.
If you fall under this category and you wish there was an easier way to close out of all your App Switcher’s apps in one fell swoop, then you just might take a liking to a jailbreak tweak release called KillBackgroundXS by iOS developer ichitaso.
Do you ever launch your App Switcher and start swiping away at apps until there’s nothing left? Despite how unnecessary people claim this to be, it’s common practice for folks to habitually clear apps when not in use. But the real problem manifests itself when you accidentally kill an app that’s playing music in the background. Yeah… frowny pants.
A new free jailbreak tweak called DontKillMyMusic by iOS developer Karimo299 aims to prevent this dilemma by empowering users with the ability to designate which apps can and can’t be killed via the App Switcher.
Most would agree that the iPhone’s App Switcher interface leaves a lot of unused space for the taking, and while some have proposed making better use of that space with grid-centric switchers or App Switcher/Control Center hybrids, iOS developer CydiaGeek had a different idea: fill that space with bigger App Switcher cards.
Enter BigCards, a new free jailbreak tweak that increases the size of the App Switcher’s application cards such that they make better use of the excess empty space normally found in the app-switching interface.
iOS powers both Apple’s iPhone and iPad platforms; however, each handset exhibits unique software-centric features that have been tailored to the devices’ particular hardware specifications.
Anyone that has used both devices knows exactly what we mean – subtle differences in interfaces such as the App Switcher, Camera app, Dock, and Status Bar are evident right off the bat. But with a new free jailbreak tweak called iPad Features XII by iOS developer Adel Hammoud, you can port many of those differences over to your iPhone.
The App Switcher has changed a plethora of times over the years with each major iteration of iOS, but most would agree that even the latest interface leaves a lot to be desired.
One of the most common complaints about the current App Switcher setup is how it seemingly wastes so much canvas space that could otherwise be used for a more intuitive interface. That said, iOS developer relative just released a new free jailbreak tweak called NewGridSwitcher that aims to help resolve this problem.
Most iPhone and iPad users are accustomed to using Apple’s native App Switcher when they want to access recently-used apps, but jailbreakers have access to a wide variety of jailbreak tweaks that can replace the native App Switcher experience with something much cooler.
With that in mind, we’re proud to show you Switchy, a jailbreak tweak made by iOS developer William Vabrinskas that brings a webOS-style App Switcher to jailbroken iPhones and iPads.
iOS is an outstanding mobile operating system, but it often leaves a lot to be desired in the multitasking department, especially on the iPhone. Luckily, the jailbreak community usually has some sort of remedy for problems of this nature.
A new free jailbreak tweak called Launchtron by iOS developer Nepeta is just one of such remedies; it’s fundamentally a quick-access app launcher that you can summon from just about anywhere with a swipe. Furthermore, it can help you access apps more quickly than you could with iOS’ native App Switcher.
You can undoubtedly multitask on an iPhone or iPad, but Apple's implementation leaves a lot to be desired. That’s why iOS developer Kane Buckthorpe released a new jailbreak tweak called EasyAccess.
As you might come to expect from the tweak’s name, EasyAccess intends to make multitasking more usable on the iOS platform. This tweak lets you perform actions in two apps at the same time and effortlessly move between apps by way of a highly-customizable dock that you can summon at any time with Activator.
Looking for a new way to spice up that iOS 11 jailbreak? Then perhaps you should try a new jailbreak tweak release called Windmill by iOS developer LaughingQuoll.
Hot off the heels of the latest Cydia source refresh, Windmill brings a customizable toolbar to the iOS platform. With it, you can quickly get to your Home Screen, access the App Switcher, and return to your most-recently-used app in a jiff.
It wasn’t long ago that we showed you Avertas, a jailbreak tweak that ported Auxo’s famous Hot Corners and Quick Switcher features to pwned iOS 11 handsets.
But if you’re in the market for something new rather than a port of something older, then we recommend turning your attention toward a new free jailbreak tweak called Adagio by iOS developer XCXiao.
