Best Cydia 2 Jailbreak Alternatives for iOS 18.1 / 18.1.1

1. MisakaX

MisakaX tweak manager is fully compatible with iOS 18.1 – 18.2 beta (including your version).

Compared to Cydia 2, this computer-based customization solution offers limited features, but you can make some cool functional and appearance changes, such as enabling Dynamic Island / installing TrollStore / activating Apple Intelligence AI features / setting a charge limit / applying various tweaks.

These features are mostly available on iPhone 15 – iPhone 16, but now you can enjoy them on older Apple devices.

2. NekoJB

NekoJB is not a package manager; it is a jailbreak solution. Cydia, Zebra, and Sileo are the default package managers for NekoJB. Developer HAHALOSAH introduced this semi-untethered tool for arm64 devices running iOS 15 – 15.8 last year, but it is now discontinued.

Recently, the NekoJB online tool was launched, supporting jailbreak for iOS 18.1 – 18.1.1. You can unlock your device without a PC, cables, or Sideloadly. It includes the same package managers with limited features. The NekoJB online version is safer than the PC version.

3. Palera1n

Palera1n is another highly popular jailbreak solution, but it is compatible with limited versions. If you use an iPad, you can run the full Palera1n jailbreak process on iPadOS 18.1 / 18.1.1. However, if you have an iPhone, your device may not support the Palera1n tethered & semi-tethered jailbreak tools.

Alternatively, you can easily run the Palera1n online version with all the latest and upcoming Apple version updates. No expert jailbreak knowledge or code input is required for setup.
