Tweak Full Description

Tested on iPhone XS - iOS 13.3 / iPhone X - iOS 13.3.1-14.2 / iPhone 6 Plus - iOS 12.4.5 / iPad Air - iOS 11.4

(Theologically, this tweak works on every devices)

CPUTool is the first CPU/GPU optimization (underclocking) tweak for iOS!

25% off for AOD users!

Options

  • Easy mode
  • Change max CPU power (from stock)
  • Change max GPU power (from stock)
  • Change max CPU power during low power mode (from stock)
  • Change max GPU power during low power mode (from stock)
  • Select apps to exclude (beta)

For example, you can under-clock the CPU and GPU while low power mode is enabled, to save the battery.

On some device (such as iPhone XS and above), only CPU control works.

If you set the value to 50%, the CPU score (performance) will be restricted to 50% of the stock.

If you don't know whether it works properly or not, please note that the value of the setting on CPUTool is the MAX CPU/GPU POWER, not the average. So, you can try 1% to see whether CPUTool works properly or not.

Also, the effect is more noticeable on LPM.

Detail

This tweak does NOT modify any system files, so it affects only when your device is jailbroken, and you can turn off the optimization anytime you want to.

Also, this tweak does NOT inject into the UI part. You can use benchmark apps to confirm CPUTool is active.

This tweak CANNOT be used for overclocking at this time.

There may be a lag when you entered / exited the low power mode or apps that excluded, it is not a bug.

In "normal mode", it may be difficult the feel the difference. If so, you can try setting them to 1%, and run Geekbench.

Upcoming feature(s)

  • CC toggle

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.
