Cowabunga is a jailed iOS toolbox app that exploits CVE-2022-46689 (MacDirtyCow) to customize iOS 14.0-15.7.1 and 16.0-16.1.2 devices without a jailbreak. It supports springboard tweaks, app icon themes, custom sounds, status bar changes, fonts, and other system modifications.
Use cases
- hide the dock and home bar on iOS without jailbreaking
- apply custom app icon themes on iOS 15
- change carrier name and status bar text
- customize system sound effects on iPhone
- install custom fonts on iOS using MacDirtyCow
- customize passcode keys and lock screen on iOS 16.1.2
When to choose
- you want deep iOS customization without jailbreaking on iOS 14.0-16.1.2
- you need springboard, status bar, or audio tweaks via the MacDirtyCow exploit
- you want to theme app icons without WebClips
When to avoid
- you are on iOS versions newer than 16.1.2
- you want an actively maintained tool - the project is archived and at end of life
- you are on iOS 14.0-14.8.1 where some changes are permanent
