Ever since the Apple Watchadopted an always-on displaywith the debut of the Series 5 model, I’ve wanted something similar for my iPhone. Although Apple offers seemingly no solution for such desires at this point in time, jailbreakers need not wait to enjoy what the features they want on the handsets they own.
IntroducingTritium, a newjailbreak tweakby iOS developerLaughingQuollthat brings always-on display functionality to pwned handsets.
Tritium is a public beta at the time of this writing, and it’s certainlynot the first tweakto bring always-on display functionality to jailbroken handsets. That aside, LaughingQuoll aspires to make a functional solution for those who desire an OEM-style experience, and the tweak uses the native Lock screen clock on top of a black background. It can be customized to a minor degree.
Upon installation, you’ll find a dedicated preference pane in the Settings app where you can configure Tritium to your liking:

The developer includes a Respring button in the preference pane interface to save changes on demand.
LaughingQuoll aims to enhance Tritium in the near future with additional features as the public beta matures. In a short discussion, we learned that there are plans to integrate morebattery-saving techniques, including auto-brightness, proximity detection, and refresh frequency for third-party add-ons Such as those brought to us byWatermelon.
Those interested in trying the Tritium canpurchase it for $1.99 from the Packix repositoryfrom their preferred package manager. A full-on public release is expected in the near future, and Tritium supportsjailbrokeniOS 13 devices.
