Tweak Full Description
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH BOOTSTRAP / SEROTONIN / ROOTHIDE
Vidnerix allows you to download videos from websites in Safari app. To download a video, play the video in full screen in the native video player and tap the Vidnerix download button.
Features:
- Download both mp4 and m3u8 videos
- Automatically transcodes m3u8 videos into mp4
- Background downloading
- Notifications when download completes or fails
- Option to save videos to Files or Photos app
- Ability to copy direct video url
Vidnerix does not support downloading DRM encrypted videos from content providers such as Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime, etc.. Downloading live video streams is not supported. The tweak only works in main Safari app, it will not load in ‘in-app Safari’ in other apps.
Note that the tweak downloads the currently playing video resolution. If the video you are streaming has multiple resolutions provided by the host, make sure to select the desired resolution on the website before playback and then start the download.
Videos in m3u8 format are split into hundreds of segments and hence it is not possible to determine the exact total video size without downloading them all. In this case, the download size displayed will only be an approximation and might differ from the final video size which will be produced from converting all the individual downloaded segments from the m3u8 playlist file into a single mp4.
To ensure that the download continue in the background, do not manually kill Safari app. Simply switch to other apps and the downloads will continue. If Safari is forced killed by user interaction, all downloads will be stopped.
If you encounter failure downloading a specific video, please let me know via Twitter or mail. In case you would like to know if Vidnerix can successfully download video from a certain website before purchase, feel free to send me the link and i’ll test it.

What are iOS Tweaks?
iOS tweaks are modifications that enhance the functionality of iPhones and iPads beyond what Apple officially allows. These small software packages can only be installed on jailbroken devices, where the restrictions imposed by Apple have been bypassed, giving users more control over their iOS experience.
What are iOS jailbreak tweaks used for?
Jailbreak tweaks serve numerous purposes, ranging from cosmetic changes to powerful functionality enhancements:
- Customization: Tweaks allow users to personalize their iOS experience by changing app icons, modifying the control center, creating custom themes, and adjusting system animations.
- Enhanced Functionality: Many tweaks add features Apple doesn't provide, such as file management capabilities, advanced screenshot tools, call recording, and system-wide gesture controls.
- App Modifications: Tweaks can enhance existing apps with new features or remove limitations. For example, tweaks might enable downloading content from streaming apps, remove ads from applications, or add additional tools to messaging platforms.
- System Optimization: Some tweaks focus on improving device performance, battery life, or adding more efficient ways to manage background processes.
- Privacy and Security: While jailbreaking itself has security implications, certain tweaks actually enhance privacy by allowing more granular control over app permissions, network monitoring, and data access.
Where to find iOS tweaks?
Jailbreak tweaks are typically distributed through alternative app stores like Cydia, Sileo, or Zebra. These repositories host thousands of tweaks created by independent developers, ranging from free offerings to premium packages.
Important considerations
Before diving into the world of jailbreak tweaks, users should be aware of several important factors:
- Warranty implications: Jailbreaking voids Apple's warranty, though restoring a device to its factory state typically reverses this.
- Security risks: Jailbreaking removes Apple's security sandboxing, potentially exposing your device to malware if tweaks are downloaded from untrusted sources.
- Stability issues: Poorly developed tweaks or conflicts between multiple tweaks can cause system instability, app crashes, or battery drain.
- Update challenges: When Apple releases new iOS versions, users must wait for compatible jailbreak tools before updating, often leaving them without security patches.
The evolving landscape
The world of iOS jailbreaking has evolved significantly over the years. As Apple has added features that were once only available through tweaks (like widgets, dark mode, and app library), the gap between stock iOS and jailbroken devices has narrowed. Nevertheless, the jailbreak community continues to push boundaries, creating innovative modifications that demonstrate what iOS could potentially offer in future official updates.
For users who value customization and control over their devices, jailbreak tweaks remain an appealing, if somewhat risky, way to transform their iOS experience beyond Apple's walled garden.
