One of the things I’ve always liked about jailbreaking is how developers find ways to backport features from newer firmware to older jailbroken firmware. Simple things like this can make even an aging handset seem like a newer one.
Jailbreak Apps & Tweaks
These are the latest jailbreak apps and tweaks available for your iPhone or iPad. We save you time by highlighting only the best tweaks.
RateBeGone jailbreak tweak stops all apps from asking you to rate them in the App Store
There’s no shortage of apps from the App Store that ask you to rate them, and while we understand that iOS app developers are eager to receive good reviews in the App Store, the nagging and persistent pop-ups can be somewhat annoying to the end user.
Block certain YouTube channels from appearing in search results with Gonerino
If you’re unhappy with the search results that the YouTube app serves you when searching for something in particular, such as when looking up how-to videos to get something done in a pinch, then you might take an interest in a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Gonerino by iOS developer Adrian Castro (castdrian).
Force YouTube videos to play in full-screen mode with YTAutoFullScreen
When I use the YouTube app on my iPhone, I will say that I generally watch videos in full-screen mode around 98% of the time. If you’re like most YouTube users, then you probably do the same thing in order to maximize your viewing experience.
Griddy Home Screen layout customization tweak for iOS 15 & 16 now available
One of the longtime favorite things for jailbreakers to do with their devices’ Home Screens has been rearrange the Home Screen icons outside of the auto-snapping grid that Apple has long imposed on users before the dawn of iOS & iPadOS 18.
The best sound & volume jailbreak tweaks for iOS 16
A seemingly insignificant part of the iOS experience that jailbreak tweaks have traditionally tried to improve upon is the one tying together the device’s volume and sounds. Fortunately, that remains the case even today, with modern rootless jailbreaks becoming the norm.
The CalculatorHistory jailbreak tweak adds an iOS 18-like running history to the Calculator app
Apple knew that iPhone users were starving for new features in the stock Calculator app, which is just one reason why there were so many improvements in iOS 18 following what felt like years’ of neglect. But if you’re on an earlier, perhaps jailbroken firmware, then you might be wondering how you can improve your existing Calculator app without updating.
CC18 gives jailbreakers round Control Center modules like on iOS 18
One of the more significant changes in iOS & iPadOS 18 relates to Control Center’s design and functionality. Right off that bat, putting it side-by-side with an iOS & iPadOS 17 device, you would notice that Control Center on iOS & iPadOS 18 sport a rounder aesthetic.

LazyCursor gives jailbreakers a little more control over their device’s cursor
Whenever you’re typing on an iPhone or iPad, whatever app you might be using, the cursor behaves in a certain way – it blinks when you’re sitting idle and not actually typing.
