CirDock: A Jailbreak Tweak That Adds Sleek Animations To iOS Dock

Most jailbreak tweak users know that one of the most useful features of iOS is the iOS dock. This gives users quick access to frequently used apps. If you are looking to give it a fresh new look, then this post is for you. We want to tell you about a brand new jailbreak tweak called CirDock which gives you the ability to add sleek animations to your iOS dock.

CirDock gives users a brand new way of interacting with their apps on the home screen dock by adding carousel animations to them. This tweak also provides you with different animation styles that you can choose between. These include cylinder, wheel, linear, cover flow and more that you will find in the settings of this tweak.

What’s even more interesting about this new tweak is that it gets rid of the four apps-limit of the dock, allowing you to add as many apps as you like. It also allows you to switch between three different types of docks that carry the default, favorite, and badged items. The “favorite” docks shows apps that have been marked as favorite while the badged items dock shows apps that carry a pending notification badge on them.

CirDock can be configured from the preferences pane in iOS setting and from there you can choose the apps that you would like to add to the dock and the animation effect that you would like them to have. From here you can also choose your customization options that allow you to remove the app icon labels and badges and add an indicator to apps that are active in the background. To switch between the different types of docks all you have to do is tap and hold on the current dock. There is also a black label in the left corner that tells you what type of dock you are currently using.

One of the great things about CirDock is that you can export or import your configuration settings which will allow you to simply pick up with the same setup on the same device at another time. The developer for this tweak is also planning on adding some new features in the next update which should include an auto-hide option for the dock, and the ability to close an app with a swipe up or swipe down gesture.

This little tweak is really great and the ability to switch between different types of docks is probably the best selling feature. If you would like to test it out you can get it on Cydia’s BigBoss repository for just $1.50. If you do buy it be sure to let us know in the comments what you think and how well it performs for you.
