Tweak Full Description
SleeperX is required to use this tweak. If you've already purchased SleeperX, you will receive 50% off NextAlarmSX. If you do not already own SleeperX and you buy this tweak, you will receive SleeperX for free.
Over the years, we have witnessed the release of some popular upcoming alarm and alarm countdown tweaks including NextAlarm, TimeUntilAlarm, NappyTime, SleepyTime, and Alarmy. For those unfamiliar, those tweaks could show the next alarm on the Lock Screen and also display a countdown for each alarm in the Clock App. NextAlarmSX is a modern reimaginging of those tweaks, but with a unique twist. Since NextAlarmSX was developed exclusively as an extension for SleeperX, it integrates seamlessly with the "skipping" features of SleeperX, making this a must-have addition for SleeperX power users.
Features
- Show details of the next alarm on the Lock Screen underneath the Date & Time
- When an alarm is being shown on the Lock Screen, tap and hold the Date & Time to reveal a menu with options to skip the next alarm or toggle the SleeperX skip features
- If an upcoming alarm will be skipped, that alarm will not be shown on the Lock Screen
- Display a countdown for each alarm in the Clock App underneath the on and off toggle
- Tap and hold on an alarm to reveal a menu with options to skip the next alarm or toggle the SleeperX skip features
- The calculation of the countdown will take into consideration any skip features that have been configured for each alarm
- Compatible with iOS 15 and iOS 16
Both the Lock Screen and Clock App features can be separately customized with the NextAlarmSX preferences found in the Settings App.

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.
