If you’re one of many who find the process of adding apps to folders on the iPhone’s Home Screen to be a cumbersome and tedious process, then we think you’re going to have a lot of fun with the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed AddToFolder by iOS developer AnthoPak.
Dock Controller lets jailbreakers supercharge their iPhone’s Dock
The Dock is an integral part of the Home Screen on any iPhone or iPad, and if you’re familiar with both platforms, then you’ll already know that Dock behavior varies from one device to the next. iPads, for example, have a much more robust Dock experience with a separated section for recently-used apps, whereas the iPhone’s Dock is much more simplistic.
If you wish you had more control over your handset’s Dock experience, then we think you’re going to love a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Dock Controller by iOS developer Tomasz Poliszuk. Just as the tweaks’ name implies, Dock Controller gives users quite a bit more control over their handset’s Dock aesthetics and behavior.
DockChanger brings the classic Dock to notched iPhones and vice versa
If you owned an iPhone before the days when Apple began incorporating Face ID and the infamous ‘notch,’ then you probably remember the classic Home Screen application Dock with the edge-to-edge background. Fast-forward to now, and modern iPhones’ Docks sport a floating appearance rather than the traditional edge-to-edge background.
Whether you’ve got a notched iPhone at your disposal and you’re feeling nostalgic over the traditional Dock UI or you’ve got a notchless iPhone and feel left out because your Dock doesn’t have the same floating aesthetic that newer handsets have, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak named DockChanger by iOS developer Thomz could be just what you’re looking for.

Viper supercharges the Home & Lock Screens on jailbroken iPhones
While Apple does its best to keep the iPhone’s user interface simple by design, sometimes it takes things to such extremes that it actually handicaps the smartphone’s potential user experience. If you, like many others, wish your handset’s Home Screen and Lock Screen were a bit more capable, then you may want to do yourself a favor and look into the likes of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Viper by iOS developer Esquilli.

Ash implements an intelligent app icon dimming effect to help jailbreakers keep better track of the apps they use and the apps they don’t use. Never-used app icons appear gray in color when being displayed on the Home Screen, whereas used app icons retain their original color, as depicted in the screenshot examples above.
Colorize the page dots on your jailbroken handset with Dots color

Just as the tweak’s name implies, Dots color lets users apply a custom color to the paging dots that typically appear on the Home Screen and Lock Screen.
