ONE Jailbreak Acquires The Net Awards
July 2025 — Warsaw, Poland — ONE Jailbreak, a leading hub for curated iOS apps and sideloading tools, has officially acquired The Net Awards brand and its online presence at TheNetAwards.com. Known for celebrating excellence in web and digital design, The Net Awards has been a staple in the tech and creative community for over a decade.
Founded and powered by the iconic net magazine, The Net Awards recognized the most impactful developers, designers, and digital projects across categories like Developer of the Year, Best Mobile App, and Open Source Project of the Year.
Past winners included major names: BBC News (Redesign), Dropbox (Mobile App), Old Spice (Viral Campaign), Flickr (Mobile Site), and Jeffrey Zeldman. In 2015 alone, over 1,000 nominations were submitted and prizes were handed out at a live ceremony in London.
With this acquisition, ONE Jailbreak plans to preserve the historical significance of The Net Awards while evolving its focus to spotlight innovative iOS apps, developer tools, and sideloading solutions.
Although traditional public voting and annual ceremonies will no longer be held, users will continue to discover and explore cutting-edge digital work through curated app collections and feature highlights on the ONE Jailbreak platform.
Visitors to TheNetAwards.com will be redirected to updated resources that reflect the platform’s new direction — connecting users with high-quality iOS tools and applications that embody the same spirit of excellence The Net Awards once honored.
Why It Matters
We’re not trying to replicate The Net Awards, but to evolve its mission: honoring outstanding digital creators. Instead of a once-a-year award show, we’re offering a living, updated collection of the most useful and well-built iOS apps available for sideloading today.
While The Net Awards traditionally focused on web excellence, our mission at ONE Jailbreak aligns closely: showcasing the most creative and useful tools in the iOS ecosystem. We believe in open access, innovation, and elevating developers doing outstanding work, just like The Net Awards once did.
