About Software

Nugget is a customization tool for iOS devices (iOS 17.0+) that unlocks the full potential of your device without a full jailbreak. It uses the SparseRestore exploit to apply various tweaks, such as enabling Dynamic Island on older iPhones, customizing the status bar, and changing Springboard behavior. It also allows for disabling specific system daemons.

Ideally run from Windows or Linux, Nugget provides a GUI for applying these modifications. It supports features like changing the device model name, enabling Always-On Display on any device, and various internal debug options. Users should exercise caution and backup data before use, as modifying system files can carry risks.

Use Cases:

  • Unlock hidden iOS features like Dynamic Island and Stage Manager on unsupported devices
  • Customize status bar elements including carrier text, battery display, and time format
  • Disable system daemons to improve performance or privacy (e.g., Screen Time, OTA updates)
  • Apply Springboard tweaks like hiding dock, changing gestures, and enabling features
  • Modify device settings without jailbreak using the SparseRestore exploit
