What is MegaSafe Controller?

MegaSafe Controller is a free jailbreak tweak that brings the native "MagSafe" charging view to your iPhone when connecting the device to a power source. The tweak displays the native charing view on iOS 14.1 and above and it's compatible with all jailbreaks running iOS 12+.

After you install this jailbreak tweak on your iPhone, a dedicated preference pane will get added in the Settings app where you can configure MegaSafe Controller to suit your needs. Toggle the tweak on or off on demand, control the size and color of charging view elements, enable it when using a wired or wireless charger, and change the color of blure in the background.
