## What it is
Misaka is an iOS and tvOS customisation application that lets users apply tweaks without jailbreaking, exploiting KFD and MacDirtyCow (MDC) vulnerabilities. It ships with over 24 default repositories and 400+ tweaks, installable via sideloading tools like AltStore, Sideloadly, or TrollStore.

## Use cases
- customize my iphone without jailbreak
- apply ios tweaks using macdirtycow exploit
- install tweaks on ios 16 with kfd
- sideload a customization tool for iphone
- change system appearance on ios without jailbreak
- install trollstore helper on ios 16
- customize tvos device

## When to choose
- you want to customize iOS or tvOS without jailbreaking
- your device runs iOS 15.0-16.6.1 where MDC or KFD exploits are supported
- you want access to a large catalog of tweaks via repositories
- you want to install TrollStore on a compatible device

## When to avoid
- your device runs iOS 17.0 or newer, where KFD and MDC are not supported (only PiP tweaks work)
- you need a full jailbreak with system-wide tweak injection
- you cannot sideload apps onto your device
- you need a tool with long-term support guarantees, as exploit-based tools break with iOS updates
