Shadow is a jailbreak detection bypass tweak for jailbroken iOS devices, hooking detection APIs so apps cannot detect the jailbreak. It supports rootful, rootless, and RootHide jailbreaks from iOS 9 onward with per-app configuration of bypass strength.

Use cases

  • hide jailbreak from banking apps on iphone
  • bypass jailbreak detection in apps
  • configure per-app jailbreak detection bypass strength
  • run jailbreak detection bypass on rootless iOS 15+ jailbreak
  • prevent apps from detecting jailbroken device
  • maintain ruleset of apps to hide jailbreak from

When to choose

  • you have a jailbroken iOS device and apps refuse to run due to jailbreak detection
  • you need fine-grained, per-app control over bypass behavior
  • you need support for rootful, rootless, or RootHide jailbreaks across iOS 9-17

When to avoid

  • you need a jailbreak detection bypass on non-jailbroken devices
  • you expect guaranteed compatibility with every app - detection methods vary
  • you need a general-purpose iOS security or anti-malware tool
