## What it is
LARA is an iOS customization toolbox application that leverages the DarkSword kernel exploit to modify system behavior on supported devices. It targets iOS 17.0 through 18.7.1 and iOS 26.0.x, excluding M5 and A19 chipsets.

## Use cases
- customize my iphone without a full jailbreak
- apply system tweaks on ios 17 using darksword exploit
- install a toolbox ipa on ios 18.7.1
- modify kernel offsets on m-series ipad
- tweak ios 26.0.1 device appearance
- sideload a customization app via altstore

## When to choose
- you want device customization on supported iOS 17-18.7.1 or 26.0.x versions
- your device is not M5 or A19 (Pro)
- you prefer a toolbox app over a traditional jailbreak

## When to avoid
- your device runs iOS 18.7.2+ or iOS 26.1+
- you have an M5 or A19 (Pro) chip due to MIE
- you need a fully supported, long-term stable jailbreak with tweak injection
