## What it is
Nugget is a cross-platform desktop GUI application for customizing iOS and iPadOS devices without jailbreaking, using Apple's MobileDevice/partial restore mechanism. It enables features like animated PosterBoard wallpapers, status bar tweaks, hidden internal options, and disabling system daemons on iOS 17.0 through 26.0+.

## Use cases
- set animated video wallpapers on iPhone lock screen
- change carrier name and status bar icons on iOS
- disable system daemons like Screen Time or Game Center on iPhone
- enable hidden internal iOS settings without jailbreak
- customize lock screen footnote and auto-lock behavior
- apply community-made iOS tweaks via batter files

## When to choose
- you want to customize an iOS 17-26 device without jailbreaking
- you need a free open-source GUI tool for iPhone tweaks
- you want to disable unwanted iOS daemons or change status bar text

## When to avoid
- your device runs iOS 27 or later, where the method is patched and may cause data loss
- you need a permanent, reboot-safe modification rather than a partial-restore-based tweak
- you are not willing to back up your device first
