Frequently Asked Questions

  • What can I do with Supercharge?

  • Short answer: a lot.

    Long answer: ever wished <app> could do <thing>? With Supercharge, you don't need to wish anymore. For example, if you want to add a password lock to an app that doesn't already have it, you can do that with Supercharge.

  • Why is this version a "Preview"?
  • While Supercharge is fully usable at present, we plan to add a lot more features in the near future – primarily the store and support for non-jailbroken devices. The Supercharge Preview is effectively a beta sneak peek.
  • What's the difference between Supercharge tweaks and traditional tweaks?
  • The key difference is that while traditional tweaks only work on jailbroken devices, Supercharge tweaks will also support non-jailbroken devices. In addition, Supercharge tweaks are way easier to make than a traditional tweak – you can make Supercharge tweaks even if you have zero coding knowledge.
  • Is Supercharge free?
  • While we have plans to monetize the Supercharge Store, we plan to keep the core product 100% free, forever.
  • How will the non-jailbroken version work?
  • The gist of it is that you give Supercharge a .ipa file, which it then injects with the tweak you want to use. Following this, it "codesigns" the app using your Apple ID, and then installs it using a new technique that we discovered.
  • Can I modify system apps with Supercharge?
  • Due to restrictions imposed on stock iOS devices, the non-jailbroken version can't modify system apps like Phone or the App Store. These restrictions don't exist on jailbroken devices, however, which means that the jailbroken version can indeed tweak system apps. The jailbroken version will also soon be able to tweak the home screen (i.e. SpringBoard).
