Nugget is an open-source iOS customization tool created by leminlimez that allows you to unlock hidden features on your iPhone and iPad without jailbreaking. It uses the SparseRestore and BookRestore exploits to modify system files safely.

Does Nugget work on iOS 26?

Is Nugget safe to use?

Nugget is generally safe when used correctly. It's an open-source project with thousands of users. However, as with any system modification tool, you should always backup your device before use. The changes are reversible by restoring your device.

Which iOS versions does Nugget support?

Nugget supports iOS 17.0 through iOS 26.0+ using different exploits. SparseRestore works on iOS 17.0-18.1.1, while BookRestore works on iOS 18.2-26.1. Some features may vary depending on your iOS version.

Does Nugget require a jailbreak?

No, Nugget does not require a jailbreak. It uses Apple's own restore mechanism to modify system files, allowing you to enable hidden features without compromising your device's security or voiding your warranty.

How do I download Nugget?

What Changed in iOS 26?

The MobileGestalt Patch

Starting with iOS 18.2 and continuing into iOS 26, Apple patched the original SparseRestore exploit used for MobileGestalt modifications. This means the old method of simply dragging and dropping a backup file no longer works for certain tweaks.

However, Nugget has evolved. While the original SparseRestore exploit is patched for some files, a new method called BookRestore allows us to continue modifying specific preferences.
