About Nugget

A free, open source tool that brings powerful customization to your iPhone without the risks of traditional jailbreaking.

What is Nugget?

Nugget is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that allows you to customize various aspects of your iPhone that Apple normally keeps locked down. Unlike traditional jailbreaking, Nugget works by modifying specific system files while keeping your device secure and fully functional.

With Nugget, you can enable features like Dynamic Island on older iPhones, customize your status bar, set animated wallpapers, and even enable Apple Intelligence on unsupported devices—all without compromising your device's security or voiding your warranty.

How Does It Work?

Nugget uses a technique called SparseRestore to make targeted modifications to your device. This approach takes advantage of the iOS backup and restore mechanism to write specific files to your device without affecting the rest of your system.

The tool primarily modifies a file called MobileGestalt, which stores device configuration flags. By changing specific values in this file, Nugget can enable features that Apple has disabled for your device model or iOS version.

Because Nugget doesn't modify the core operating system or install any persistent code on your device, your changes can be easily reverted at any time, and iOS updates will automatically remove any modifications.

The Developer

Nugget was created by leminlimez, a talented developer known for creating innovative iOS customization tools. Their work focuses on making advanced customization accessible to everyone, not just those with technical expertise.

The project is completely open source and hosted on GitHub, allowing anyone to review the code, contribute improvements, or learn from the implementation. This transparency ensures that users can trust exactly what the tool does to their devices.

Safety & Security

Nugget is designed with safety as a top priority. Unlike jailbreaking, it doesn't:

  • Disable iOS security features or sandboxing
  • Install any persistent modifications to your system
  • Allow unsigned code execution
  • Affect your ability to receive iOS updates
  • Void your warranty (modifications are non-permanent)

All changes made by Nugget are stored in specific configuration files and can be completely reverted at any time through the app or by updating iOS.
