NathanLR Jailbreak
NathanLR is non/semi-jailbreak solution for 16.5.1 through 16.6.1 based on Serotonin Jailbreak developed by hrtowii. Its main advantage over the fork is support for rootless tweaks making it compatible with most of Dopamine tweaks. What's more, there is no need to use a pacher to convert tweaks for compatibility.

Why use NathanLR Jailbreak?
NathanLR Jailbreak is a new non/semi-jailbreak for iOS 16 released by Nathan. This entire project is based on Serotonin Jailbreak which is no longer under active development and it supports only a part of iOS 16 releases that the original project provides. However, it offers an advantage of support for modern rootless tweaks.
Serotonin Jailbreak supports iOS versions 16 through 16.6.1. It's especially valuable for users on iOS & iPadOS 16.5.1 to 16.6.1 because, unlike other jailbreak tools, Serotonin works on arm64e devices, which still aren't jailbreakable with other methods. This gives users the possibility to install Cydia tweaks.
On the other hand, NathanLR Jailbreak is available for iOS versions 16.5.1 to 16.6.1 and includes a built-in tweak injection daemon, making it easier to install tweaks. Additionally, there's no need to convert or patch modern rootless tweaks, as this jailbreak is specifically designed to support them.
NathanLR Jailbreak leverages the TrollInstallerX kernel exploit, offering improved stability. Since it supports rootless tweaks, you can install the latest tweaks, which are primarily developed for rootless environments.
Nearly all tweaks released since iOS 15 are designed for rootless setups because no fully rootful jailbreak environment is available for modern devices. It can actually install most of the same tweaks you have on your Dopamine iPhone right now. This is a great feature that most users will appreciate.
NathanLR, a semi-jailbreak fork of Serotonin, offers several advantages. It supports more daemons, including jailbreak launch daemons, and features a functional userspace reboot. Unlike the Serotonin semi-jailbreak, NathanLR ensures that when you turn off your device, it stays off instead of crashing and rebooting.
The new semi-jailbreak for iOS 16.5.1 through iOS 16.6.1 is proving much more convenient, based on initial use and user feedback. It appears more stable and smooth overall, with a quick jailbreak process, especially on iPads. Although NathanLR is still in beta, it’s already one of the top rootless options, alongside Dopamine.
It’s worth noting that NathanLR's Jailbreak background daemons are easier for apps to detect. Apps like Revolut quickly recognize the the system is running a jailbreak, causing them to stop working on the device. In this case, Serotonin Jailbreak is a better option, as it’s less likely to be detected by such apps.
Nathan has released the NathanLR Jailbreak as a beta, making it an experimental project. However, new versions are regularly released to fix known issues. This gives hope for further development.
