Brand, thing, behavior, method, advice, mantra, etc.

I swear by Blackwing pencils.

Also, the ‘two minute rule’, which has really improved my life: “if it takes two minutes or less to do, just do it now; if it takes longer, schedule it.” I’ve got untreated attention issues and it’s very easy for me to notice something needing done, and overlook or procrastinate it because it seems inconvenient in the moment. Having a totally painless rule that forces me to acknowledge that thing I should pick up, that trash bag I should change, etc, or, to at least put on my calendar anything I mustn’t forget in the long run has been great for me.

      Activator - I use this to automatically enable LPM when a charger is connected or when I leave my house, holding Vol Up for Next Song/Vol Down for Prev. Song, Hold Vol Up & Down to Pause, Hold top-right of Status Bar for a custom App Drawer from any App

      CCSupport - I mainly use this for putting something that should already be in the Control Center toggles, a damn location button!!

      AppStore++ - Let’s you downgrade any app to any version you wish & block app updates

      BetterCCXI - Make the CC Music Module display the Now Playing song/video Album Cover/Art without holding it down

      ChromaHomebarX - Customize homebar color to your liking or do a RGB animation at what ever speed you prefer

      Facebook/Messenger/Instagram/Twitter No Ads - Self Explanatory, and allows downloading pics/videos

      DLEasy - Downloading of pics/video from even more apps

      EvilScheme - A more powerful Default Apps picker

      MYbloXX - A more powerful Ad Blocker than any App Store equivalent bc Apple doesn’t allow hosts file editing on stock iOS

      Rose - Haptic Feedback on not just Keyboard, but almost anywhere of your choosing. For example, when I change songs or the volume I get haptic feedback.

      Shortmoji - Replace prediction bar with sliding emoji drawer or Cut/Copy/Paste/etc functions or add either between the Emoji & Dictation buttons. Can even customize keyboard color or make it an animated RGB keyboard

      This is just a few I can remember off the top, but there’s a whole lot more. A lot of iOS “features” originate in the Jailbreak scene. Screen recording functionality/code was in iOS 8 by Apple, but wasn’t introduced/enabled until iOS 11. JB Tweaks to do that existed before then.

        I feel like jailbreaking is often a real chore. The ongoing game of cat and mouse, you know. Is it easy enough to do these days, and do untethered? I haven’t really taken great advantage of jailbreaking since like, iPhone 4. But your comment makes it sound like a practical necessity!

          Those days are long gone, I’m afraid. It’s not as simple as patching an IPSW like it used to be. The jailbreak scene has been pushed to the edge of a cliff by Apple with each update, especially after iOS 10. iPhone 8/8+/X and lower are jailbreakable for life due to an unpatchable bootrom exploit (checkm8), but it doesn’t mean much now that those devices won’t get iOS 17. Recently, Apple added another security measure (cryptex1) to make it near impossible to downgrade. It’s pure luck these days if/when a jailbreak gets released & for what iOS version. Oh and it’s been so long since the last untethered jailbreak, I can’t remember the name of the last one. All of them are Semi-Untethered (sideload an app with the exploit, but you would have to resign it every 7 days in case your phone reboots unless you own an Apple Dev Account)

        Wow, thank you for the comprehensive reply! I think you can do the Low Power Mode automation with Shortcuts, but none of the rest.

        The holding vol up/down is cool, as are the no ads apps.

        You’ve given me something to ponder, maybe on an old phone. Cheers!
