SideDock app icon

Jailbreak tweak · iOS 17 and 18

A Mac-style Dock on the side of your iPhone.

Features

Everything the Dock should have been.

  • A floating, vertical Dock

    A compact Dock on the right edge. Change its size and height, show 1 to 5 recent apps under your pinned ones, and drag icons in, out and around it.

  • Mac-style magnification

    Slide a finger along the Dock and the icons under it grow, then settle back, just like on a Mac.

  • Switch apps from anywhere

    Inside any app, swipe in from the right edge to bring up your Dock and jump to another app. Tap outside or swipe it away to close it.

  • Hide it when you want

    Swipe the Dock to the right to hide it, or let it hide itself after a delay. Swipe in from the edge, or tap the small handle, to bring it back.

  • A denser Home Screen

    Up to 6 columns × 8 rows. Icons make room for the Dock, labels can go, and the Search button moves to where the Dock used to be.

  • Round icons

    Set any icon corner radius, from square to a full circle. Folders keep their look and badges stay whole.

Questions

Before you buy.

  • Which iOS versions and jailbreaks does it support?

    iOS 17.0 to 18.7.9 on a jailbroken iPhone. SideDock is a rootless package, so it works with Dopamine and palera1n. It needs mobilesubstrate and PreferenceLoader; on iOS 18, use a PreferenceLoader build that supports iOS 18.

  • Can I try it first?

    Yes. A new install works for a 7-day trial. After that SideDock confirms your Havoc purchase by itself while online, then keeps working offline.

  • What does the license check send?

    This device’s UDID and model, to the SideDock license server, which asks Havoc and answers with a license for this device only. Nothing is stored.

  • Is it safe for SpringBoard?

    SideDock has a built-in crash guard: if SpringBoard fails to start several times in a row, it turns itself off. Changing the grid, floating mode, auto-hide or Dock size needs a respring.

  • Where are the settings?

    In Settings > SideDock, in English and Tiếng Việt.

  • Who makes SideDock?

    Peakvailon, a small mobile app studio. We also make Dusk for iPhone. Questions or refunds: [email protected], and refunds follow Havoc’s refund policy.
