Jailbreak iOS 18.7/iOS 18.7.1

If you’re running iOS 18.7 or iOS 18.7.1 and wondering how to get jailbreak-style customization, this guide walks you through the current, working methods that let you install tweaks, themes, and package managers. 

We explain what works today, how to install each solution, and important safety precautions.

Below are the most trusted and up-to-date methods available for jailbreak iOS 18.7 and higher.  If you have already upgraded to iOS 26 & higher, refer iOS 26 jailbreak & iOS 26.1 Jailbreak beta pages.

1. Redensa 

Redensa is a terminal-based, userland jailbreak solution designed for iOS 18 & higher devices. 

Redensa describes itself as the world’s first iTerminal-based jailbreak solution. Rather than being a full kernel patch, it functions more like a command-line / terminal interface that allows installing third-party apps, tweaks, themes, and “jailbreak-style” features. When you install Redensa, it also installs a companion app called iTerminal.

Capabilities & Features

Redensa supports multiple iOS 18 versions. Its features include:

• Installing third-party apps / IPAs through its command system (via iTerminal) 
• Theme installation (custom icon sets, UI themes) 
• Changing default iOS settings (for example, toggling system features, enabling/disabling certain built-in functions) 
• Opening built-in iOS apps (like Contacts, Safari, etc) through terminal commands (“open apps” category)
• Possibly “jailbreaking third-party web tools” (for example, integrating ChatGPT) via its command interface 

Because it does not patch the kernel, Redensa is safer in terms of system stability and reversibility than traditional jailbreaks—but also more limited in scope.

How Redensa Works

1. Installation: You install the Redensa app from the Official site or  via a third-party store like Pangu8, etc). 
2. Profile / Trust: iOS will prompt you to trust a configuration profile so that Redensa + iTerminal can run.
3. Duplication of Apps: Two apps (Redensa + iTerminal) are installed. 
4. Command Execution: Using iTerminal, you issue commands (like install <appcode>) to install apps/themes. Redensa interprets those and sideloads or installs them from its backend. 
5. No Kernel Patch: Because it runs “on top” of iOS (in userland/sandbox), it does not modify system files or the kernel. That means some tweaks or low-level modifications are impossible.
6. Uninstalling: You remove the profile and delete the apps; the system returns to “normal.”
   

Since it works in userland, it can’t do everything—but it still provides most features like themes, UI tweaks, and apps without risking system problems

Pros & Cons of Redensa

Pros:

• Safer than full jailbreaks (non-kernel approach)
  
• Easily reversible
  
• Broad device & iOS version compatibility (claims support across iOS 17- iOS 17.7.2, iOS 18 – iOS 18.6.2 including iOS 18.7 & iOS 18.7.1)
  
• No need for a computer or complex setup
  
• Supports command / terminal interface (for power users)
  

Cons / Limitations:

• Cannot perform low-level tweaks (e.g. those needing root file system patching)
  
• Some apps or system modifications may be blocked by iOS
  
• Because it is less traditional, some jailbreak tweak developers may not support such an environment
  

2. Irolyn 

Irolyn is a repository extractor rather than a classical jailbreak. Now it’s compatible with iOS 18.7 and iOS 18.7.1. The concept: instead of patching the system, Irolyn fetches (extracts) the contents of a jailbreak repo (packages, tweaks, themes) and installs them into user-accessible paths, thereby enabling many jailbreak-style functions.

It is sometimes referred to as a “jailbreak repo extractor” in jailbreak guides. Because it operates via repo extraction, it is among the safest approaches to customizing iOS while avoiding system instability.

Capabilities & Features

• Allows adding unlimited jailbreak repositories (Cydia, Sileo, Zebra repos) in a supported format
  
• Extracts tweak files, theme packages, and “jailbreak apps” from those repos into usable form on your device
  
• Supports iOS 18 – iOS 18.7.1
• No need for system patching or root access
  

Irolyn’s strength lies in enabling the existing jailbreak repos to be used partly without full system jailbreak.

How Irolyn Works 

1. Installation: You install Irolyn via Pangu8, official site or related site
   
2. Trust Profile: You trust the configuration profile to permit the app.
   
3. Add Repo: Within Irolyn, you enter a repository URL (for example, a standard Cydia repo).
   
4. Extract / Import: Irolyn fetches the repo’s packages and reconstructs them in a local, sandboxed directory structure.
   
5. Install Tweaks / Themes: From within Irolyn, you can then tap to install those extracted packages (themes, tweaks, apps) to your device.
   
6. Uninstall / Cleanup: Remove the Irolyn app and its profile, and the installed packages are typically removed (depending on how they were applied).
   

Because it never touches kernel or system partitions, it maintains high safety and reversibility.

Pros & Cons of Irolyn

Pros:

• Very safe (no kernel modifications)
  
• Wide compatibility (works on many iOS versions)
  
• Supports large number of repositories (thus access to many tweaks)
  
• Minimal risk of bricking or instability
  

Cons / Limitations:

• Cannot support tweaks requiring low-level access
  
• Some tweaks may not fully operate due to sandbox constraints
  
• Performance / integration may be weaker than in full jailbreaks
  

Because Irolyn is an extraction-based method, it often serves as a baseline method: while less “powerful,” it is often more reliable and safer for everyday users.

3. Palera1n Virtual

Palera1n Virtual is the virtualized version of the Palera1n jailbreak. It creates a simulated jailbreak environment, allowing installation of Sileo on iOS 18.7 & iOS 18.7.1 devices.

In effect, Palera1n Virtual sets up a virtual IPSW environment + terminal shell, then allows installation of Sileo (a package manager) inside that environment.

Capabilities & Features

• Installs Sileo lite package manager to allow tweak / app installs in the virtual environment. 
• Runs a terminal / shell environment (virtual) where users can run commands and perform lightweight tweaks.
• Supports a wide range of devices and iOS versions (claims coverage iOS 15 – iOS 26.1) 
• Designed to be rootless or sandboxed to avoid interfering with core iOS system files. 

Importantly, Palera1n Virtual mimics parts of Palera1n’s architecture, but within the safe constraints of userland.

How Palera1n Virtual Works 

1. Install via Web: From Safari or a jailbreak hub, you install the Palera1n Virtual profile/app. (No PC needed)
   
2. Virtual Setup: The tool internally constructs a virtual environment (loading an IPSW profile or kernel stub) to emulate parts of Palera1n’s architecture.
   
3. Terminal Launch: You then launch the Palera1n virtual terminal which gives access to run some root-level commands, but you don’t have full control over the device.
4. Install Sileo Virtual: After setup, the tool gives an option to install Sileo inside that virtual context. 
5. Use Virtual Repo / Tweaks: Within Sileo you can add repos and install tweaks/apps (where permitted) inside the virtual layer.
   
6. Uninstallation: Remove the profile / app to exit and restore the system to a clean state.
   

Pros & Cons of Palera1n Virtual

Pros:

• Provides a full “jailbreak-style” experience (terminal + package manager) in a safe environment
  
• Broad compatibility across devices and iOS versions since iOS 15 – iOS 18.7/iOS 18.7.1 including latest iOS 26- iOS 26.1 beta
• No need for PC or hardware exploit (pure web install)
  
• Easier adoption for users wanting a safer, reversible approach

Cons / Limitations:

• Cannot perform deep system modifications
  
• Some tweaks or system integrations will be blocked by iOS security boundaries
  
• May have performance or compatibility constraints inside the virtual layer
  

Because it is virtualized and rootless, some tweak developers may not support it, and some advanced functionalities will simply not work.

4. Checkra1n Mirror

Checkra1n Mirror is a mirror version of the classic Checkra1n semi-tethered jailbreak. It does not exploit the bootrom directly on iOS 18.7; instead, it simulates or mirrors parts of the Checkra1n experience (e.g. installation of a lite Cydia environment) via an online method. 

Essentially, it presents a UI and partial functionality that resemble Checkra1n, but operates in a mirror environment rather than full kernel-level freedom.

Capabilities & Features

• Installs a client version of Cydia (sometimes called “Cydia Lite”) within the environment.
• Uses a code generation approach (via a helper app/tool often referred to as CodeGen) to validate compatibility and permission before the mirror exploit is invoked.
• Operates fully online; no DFU or hardware exploit needed from user side. 

In practice, the mirror version gives you access to many tweak packages, Cydia repos, and limited functionality of classic Checkra1n—but within safe boundaries.

How Checkra1n Mirror Works 

1. Profile Installation: The Mirror app is installed via a Pangu8  or third-party app store using a configuration profile. 
2. Code Generation / Validation: The user is often asked to use a companion CodeGen service/app to generate a code based on device + iOS version, which then lets Mirror run. 
3. Mirror Exploit: Once validated, the Mirror runs a virtual exploit that “mirrors” parts of the Checkra1n logic to allow adding a “Cydia Lite” environment.
   
4. Cydia / Package Access: You are provided a Cydia-like client inside the Mirror app, from which you can install tweaks, themes, and repos (as permitted).
   
5. Uninstalling: Deleting the profile / Mirror app removes all traces; system remains intact.
   

Because it is not injected into kernel space, many deep tweaks are restricted—but many user-level tweaks still work.

Pros & Cons of Checkra1n Mirror

Pros:

• Familiar checkra1n-like interface attracts long-time jailbreak users
  
• Ability to install a simplified Cydia environment
  
• Minimal risk to system (no kernel patching)
  
• Works online without needing to enter DFU mode
  

Cons / Limitations:

• Not full jailbreak; many tweaks that require root access won’t work
  
• Cydia Lite is limited compared to full Cydia

5. Unc0ver Black

Unc0ver Black is a web-based version of the classic Unc0ver semi-untethered jailbreak, adapted for iOS 18.7 & iOS 18.7.1. Unlike traditional Unc0ver, it operates in a virtual, sandboxed environment, allowing the installation of Cydia-like tools without modifying the kernel.

Features

• Installs Cydia and Sileo alternatives online
  
• Dark-themed interface for modern devices
  
• Provides access to popular tweaks and themes
  
• Compatible with iOS 18.7/ iOS 18.7.1 and newer iPhones/iPads
  

How It Works / Installation

1. Download Unc0ver Black from the button below or its official site.
   
2. Install and trust the profile via iOS Settings.
   
3. Launch the app and select “Install Cydia.”
   
4. Browse and install tweaks, themes, or apps within the virtual environment.
