Shijima

Shijima brings shimeji desktop pets to iPhone and iPad. Throw them around! Give them cookies! Or hold them so they can't do anything. It's up to you. Be careful however, as they may multiply while you aren't looking.

With Shijima, you can install one (or many!) of the hundreds of shimeji desktop mascots already available on the internet and use them on your device. Use Shijima to make your home screen and/or apps more fun and personalized with the characters of your choice. Shijima is highly configurable, allowing you to limit the apps where mascots are displayed.

• Install shimeji directly from zip, rar and 7z archives.
• Configure shimeji to automatically appear after every respring.
• Spawn, despawn, install and remove shimeji using the Shijima app without having to respring.
• Alter the behavior of shimeji using the Inspector functionality.
• Limit shimeji to only show up in certain apps.
• Don't know where to get started? A list of recommended shimeji is available in the app.

Shijima aims to be fully compatible with Shimeji-ee. There may be cases where Shijima behaves differently than Shimeji-ee but these will be fixed as they are discovered.

Note: The shimeji shown in the screenshots do not come bundled with the tweak. You should install the shimeji you want yourself.

Compatibility

This tweak works on both iPhone and iPad. All iOS versions from iOS 14.0 to iOS 17.6.1 are supported.

Xina v1 users should use the rootless (-arm64) build of the tweak. Converting the rootful (-arm) build will not work.

RootHide, Bootstrap and Serotonin are not supported.

Shijima was also tested and determined to work on iOS 18 beta 6. However, no support will be provided for iOS 18 jailbreaks.

Known Issues

Problem: I can't get any shimeji to import, even the featured ones!

Solution: Make sure the file is a zip/rar/7z archive. Just an image file won't work. If the file is in an iCloud Drive folder, try moving it to "On My iPad" or "On My iPhone" and try again.

Problem: The Shijima app crashes on launch. (Fixed in version 1.0.2)

Solution: If you have Choicy installed, go to Choicy > Applications > Shijima and enable "Overwrite Global Tweak Configuration".

Refund Policy

Refunds will only be issued if there's a significant issue preventing the use of the tweak entirely, and if this issue cannot be resolved in a reasonable amount of time. Refunds can be requested within 7 days of the purchase date. Havoc Marketplace refund policy applies.

Lack of support for a specific shimeji is not considered a significant issue if other shimeji work as expected. However, you may ask for a shimeji to be fixed through Discord or Twitter and I will try to release an update as soon as I can.
