Bridge
Bridge – Internal App Opener & Extractor for iOS 16 to iOS 26
Bridge is a powerful tool that lets you access and explore hidden system apps on your iPhone or iPad — apps that are normally invisible to users.
Built using Swift, Shortcuts, and Private APIs, Bridge works perfect on iOS/iPadOS 16.0 to 26.0.
It’s the perfect iOS 26 Jailbreak Alternative for opening, viewing, and extracting internal system apps safely — giving you advanced access and deeper control without needing a jailbreak.
⚠️ Note: Bridge does not display user-installed apps. For that functionality, try using Antrag (though it can’t extract user data).
Readable Partitions
- /Applications: Contains internal apps like view services, UI testing apps, and non-removable stock apps (e.g., Phone, Messages).
- /System/Library/CoreServices: Stores core iOS apps like SpringBoard and other essential system components.
Key Features
- Open Internal Apps:
Access hidden system apps using either Private API or the Shortcuts method. - Export Application Bundle:
Extract an app’s core files (bundle). Note: containers and user data aren’t included. - Favorite Apps:
Save your most-used apps for quick access under “Favorites.”

When prompted, enter your Apple ID password. The tool uses your Apple ID to sideload the app. We recommend you use a burner account.
Step 07. Sideloadly will begin installing Bridge IPA on your iOS device.
Step 08. Once the app is installed, please don’t open it yet. You must verify your Apple ID profile if it’s your first time using Sideloadly. To do it, go to Settings > General > Device Management. Tap on your Apple ID and press the Trust button. Tap on Trust again from the pop-up alert.
