Misaka26 – The First iOS 26+ MobileGestalt Tweaking Tool (macOS & Windows)
Misaka26 is the first major tweak tool built using the new MobileGestalt exploit, supporting iOS 16.0 – iOS 26.1 and even iOS 26.2 Beta 1.
This exploit—discovered by researcher Hana Kim—allows modifying hidden system properties normally locked down by Apple. That means you can enable features Apple restricts to certain devices or firmware versions.
Developer Duy Tran expanded this research and turned it into a fully working tool, while straight-tamago and Huy Nguyen (the creators of Misaka & MisakaX) built a fresh, modern UI that looks like a native macOS app. Misaka26 is available for Windows and macOS with potential Linux support in the future.
Misaka26 is currently one of the best iOS 26.1 jailbreak alternatives. It works like a rare 0-day style tweak tool, allowing you to customize system features even though iOS 26.1 is still the latest signed firmware — all without needing a full jailbreak.
Once installed, Misaka26 lets you unlock premium system features such as:
- Dynamic Island on unsupported devices
- Stage Manager
- Always-On Display
- Apple Intelligence
- iPad-style multitasking (TrollPad)
- Action Button settings
- Shutter sound toggle
- Developer mode tools
- New UI elements
…and more.
You can now even enable the Apple Intelligence interface on any iPhone running iOS 26, no jailbreak required, Some tweaks require a respring, so users should back up their device before applying modifications.

Important Notes
Misaka26 writes a customized com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist back to your device using the restore-from-backup method.
This can cause a boot loop if done incorrectly, so always:
✔ Back up your device
✔ Apply tweaks carefully
✔ Respring when required (use the provided Respring IPA)
