Zebra is an open-source package manager for jailbroken iOS devices, built on Debian's APT system, for installing tweaks, themes, and utilities outside the App Store. It is written in Swift and also targets macOS via Mac Catalyst.

Use cases

  • install jailbreak tweaks on iphone
  • browse and add apt repos on ios
  • install themes on jailbroken device
  • manage debian packages on ios
  • download packages without app store
  • run a package manager on macos with procursus

When to choose

  • you have a jailbroken iOS device and want a fast, modern alternative to Cydia
  • you need APT-based package management on iOS
  • you want an open-source package manager you can build yourself

When to avoid

  • your device is not jailbroken
  • you need a stable macOS release (still in development)
  • you only want App Store apps
