Check out the latest news and tutorials about Sileo, a refined package manager app that can be installed on jailbroken iPhones and iPads to browse repositories and find jailbreak tweaks and themes.
Sileo was made to replace Cydia on modern iterations of iOS and iPadOS, and feels faster and smoother thanks to its native and intuitive design.
If you have a jailbroken iOS 11 or iOS 12 device in your possession and you're wondering what you should install on it to make it better, then you've come to the right place.
In this roundup, we’ll summarize each of this week’s new jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, April 22nd to Sunday, April 28th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then outline the rest afterward.
Hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd shared some reassuring comments with the jailbreak community via Twitter Thursday afternoon, elucidating that Cydia as a package manager wasn’t dead and that third-party developers besides Saurik (such as team unc0ver’s Sam Bingner) can still maintain it.
If you didn’t already know, the Cydia package manager is open source, which means that anyone can view its source code and update the software so long as they adhere to the license:
Despite the unforeseen bombshell that Saurik recently dropped on the jailbreak community regarding the much-anticipated Cydia Substrate update for A12(X) devices, this hasn’t stopped talented hackers such as those from the Electra and unc0ver jailbreak teams from devising workarounds to ensure that the community gets its cake and eats it too.
The unc0ver jailbreak is perhaps the most impacted jailbreak from the ordeal, as Electra uses Substitute instead of Cydia Substrate. And for that reason, we consider the following words from hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd be to be somewhat significant given the times we’re in:
The Sileo Team pushed another update for the Sileo beta preview on Monday, bringing the package manager up from version 0.8b11 to 0.8b12.
As you might come to expect, the Sileo Team announced the update via Twitter just this morning, elucidating what was new in the Tweet:
We’re just one step short of a full-fledged A12(X) jailbreak by way of unc0ver, but all we can do at the time of this writing is remain patient until such an update finally surfaces. If you’re using an older handset, then you’re probably looking for new and exciting ways to trick out your jailbroken installation of iOS 11 or iOS 12.

The Sileo Team pushed a new update to the Sileo beta preview on Saturday, bringing the pre-release package manager up to version 0.8b11 from the previous version 0.8b8.
In a Tweet shared early this morning, the Sileo Team elaborated on the updated version’s newest features:
Less than 24 hours ago, the Sileo Team teased the blazing speed of its Sileo app, which aims to compete with Cydia as the de facto package manager on handsets pwned by way of Electra. The device used in the recent demo video was an iPhone 6s, but with many jailbreakers waiting to pwn their latest and greatest handsets, did the video do Sileo any justice?
If you were wondering how fast Sileo would be on a more modern handset, then you’re in luck. The Sileo Team has Tweeted yet another demonstration of Sileo’s speed just this evening, this time with the app running on an iPhone X instead of an iPhone 6s.
Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool has enjoyed a monopoly over iOS 12.0-12.1.2 for months, albeit with limited handset support due to the lack of Cydia Substrate support for A12(X) devices. On the other hand, that could all change in the very near future.
The Sileo Team on Thursday Tweeted a teaser of what appears to be the Sileo app running on the upcoming Electra12 jailbreak, citing it to be a speed demonstration of the Cydia alternative for package management on jailbroken handsets.
It was just April Fool's week, but you won’t find any pranks here. With the unc0ver iOS 12 jailbreak running strong on so many handsets, developers are getting back into tweak development and making tons of interesting new releases.

The Sileo Team on Friday pushed another update to the Sileo beta preview, bringing the pre-release package manager and Cydia alternative’s version number up to 0.8b8 from the previous version 0.8b4.
A Tweet shared by the Sileo Team just this morning describes what’s new in the update:
Jailbreak tweak developers have been particularly busy these past several weeks, and this week was no exception. We unquestionably have the unc0ver iOS 12 jailbreak to thank for this sudden revitalization, and there’s still much more to come.
