What is Konban?
Konban is a free jailbreak tweak, originally developed by Nepeta for iOS 12, that replaces the "Today" view with an app of your choice. Because the tweak was open-sourced nicho1asdev updated it to work on iOS 13 and iOS 14. Run your favorite apps at a glance.
Once installed, Konban tweak adds a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app from where you can configure all available options. Toggle the tweak on or off on demand, hide the status bar, select any app you want from settings, and set the app windows scale and corner radius.
To view the app in Today View, simply swipe right from the left edge of the Home Screen or the Lock Screen. Konban will load the app for quick access. The tweak recognizes not only system applications but also sideloaded by the users. To apply all changes respring is required.
As mentioned already, the Konban tweak allows you to customize the look of the app window displayed in the Today View on your device. You can change how big the app window is (default 80% of the screen) and set the corner radius for a better look.
The latest version of Konban depends on mobilesubstrate and will work on the latest version of unc0ver or checkra1n jailbreaks. Substrate is the powerful code modification platform behind Cydia allowing developers to create tweaks. The tweak was updated on 18 Mar 2022 to v3.0.1.
Replace Today View with an app of your choice. Access at glace the calculator app to perform quick calculations on the fly, Cydia package manager to install new tweaks or view the shopping list with one gesture. The tweak makes the Today View significantly more useful.
On top of that Konban can open an app not only from the Home Screen, but it works also from the Lock Screen / Notification Center on iOS 14. How cool is that!
