BadgeSync hides apps’ notification badges when you dismiss a corresponding notification banner
One of the most annoying things that I put up with on a regular basis in terms of dismissing iMessage or Gmail notification banners from my Lock Screen or Notification Center is that the app icon badge pertaining to that notification doesn’t actually go away. In essence, launching the app to make the badge go away makes me feel like I’m investing twice the effort to dismiss that notification in its entirety.

GrowingBadges causes your apps’ missed notification badges to grow in size as they pile up
Sometimes when receiving a slew of iPhone or iPad notifications while you’re away, you might feel inclined to simply ignore them rather than marking them as read. That’s a bad habit that iOS developer wrp1002 hopes to break with the release of a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed GrowingBadges.

Do Not Disturb mode is an indispensable feature on iPhones and iPads that I’ve grown particularly fond of over the years. Although it isn’t new, I still use it just as much today as I did when it first came out.

That changed this week with the release of AnimeMyBadges Pro, a paid upgrade from the aforementioned free release that offers nearly a dozen different badge animation styles to choose from.
