Nugget iOS Customizer

Nugget is an iOS customization tool based on the Spararestor exploit that can run without jailbreak. Apple Intelligence, Dynamic Island and some useful features come with Nugget.

Unfortunately, Nugget is only available on the iPhone 16 and 15 series.

If you have an iPhone 14 or an older model, you can use Cydia2 as an alternative to Nugget.

Cydia 2 as a Nugget Alternative

Cydia 2 isn’t a customization tool like Nugget – it’s an app manager for iOS 15 to 18.5 Beta. Also, an online version of Cydia gives you tweaks, themes, apps, and jailbreaks through rootless repositories.

Install Cydia 2

Cydia 2 vs. Nugget: Which is better?

  • Features: Cydia 2 has a massive amount of tweaks and apps for customizing. Nugget sticks to a few upgrades, like Dynamic Island or Apple Intelligence.
  • Installation: Nugget needs a PC, Python, and some tech skills – tricky and maybe risky for your device. Cydia 2? Just use the Safari browser, no PC is needed. Way easier and safer.
  • Compatibility: Cydia 2 runs on all devices from iOS 16 up. Nugget only works on limited versions.
