With a full-fledged iOS 12 jailbreak now available to the public, many are wondering what jailbreak tweaks they should install to trick out their handset(s). Fortunately, there have been a myriad of new releases, and we’ve got you covered.
This roundup encompasses all the jailbreak tweaks released
in Cydia from Monday, February 25th to Sunday, March 3rd.
As usual, we’ll kick things off by discussing our favorites and then wrap
things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Our favorite releases this week
Aperturize – $0.99
Many iPhones support Portrait photography, but Apple limits others by software. Aperturize is a new jailbreak tweak that helps to unrestrict this feature on unsupported dual-lens handsets.
In addition to bringing Portrait mode photography to unsupported handsets, the tweak lets you adjust the bokeh both in real-time and after the fact on unsupported handsets.
You can learn more about Aperturize and why it’s a good investment in our full review.
BelleVolume – $2.00
BelleVolume is a new jailbreak tweak that intends to make the volume HUD look nicer on most jailbroken handsets.
The tweak provides a truckload of different themes to pick from, and you can further customize their appearance with themes.
You can learn more about BelleVolume and why it’s so great in our full review.
Eclipse Dark Mode (iOS 12) – $1.00
Eclipse is by far the best-known dark mode-centric jailbreak tweak around, so there’s little to say here except that Eclipse Dark Mode (iOS 12) brings official iOS 12 support.
If you’ve been looking for a proper dark mode for your jailbroken iOS 12 device, then this is where you should start your search.
You can learn more about the tweak and where to get it in our full review.
IntelligentPass2 – $2.79
Let’s face it, your iPhone’s passcode is useful because it helps to protect your personal data, but you don’t always need all that security, such as when you’re alone at home.
IntelligentPass2 is a jailbreak tweak that intelligently disables your passcode depending on certain conditions, such as when you’re connected to your house’s Wi-Fi network or when certain peripherals are connected.
You can learn more about IntelligentPass2 and how it can improve your life in our full review.
Noctis12 – $1.99
Yes, Eclipse is a wonderful dark mode jailbreak tweak, but it’s even better when paired with a system-wide dark mode solution like Noctis12.
Noctis12 themes the interfaces that most dark mode jailbreak tweaks leave behind, such as widgets, notifications, and the like.

Trim Times – $0.99
Trim Times is a new jailbreak tweak that brings time indicators to Apple’s native video-trimming interface in the Photos app on iOS.
Although this feature exists on macOS, Apple seems to have excluded it in iOS, which can be frustrating to those who edit their footage on-device.
You can learn more about Trim Times in our full review.
