Jailbreaking

Preparing your iOS device

Tweaks let you do amazing things with your iOS device. Prepare your device to get started.

With innovative new features, beautifully designed themes, and tons of new applications, tweaks open up a whole new world of possibilities. Products like ShortLook and Starfish improve your device in ways only possible with tweaks.

To get started using tweaks, you must prepare your device. This guide will walk you through how to prepare your device with a jailbreak.

Contrary to popular belief, jailbreaking is legal and very safe as long as you are careful about what you install. That’s why we created Dynastic Repo, which is a trusted source for products. We thoroughly review everything that is submitted to us to ensure it meets our quality standards. If you’re unsure, our list of frequently asked questions might help.
