NathanLR iOS 17 Semi-Jailbreak — What to Expect

NathanLR is a new semi-jailbreak made specifically for iOS 17.0. It works through TrollStore and offers tweak injection instead of full root access. This means you can customize your iPhone with features like icon layout control, Dock changes, and Control Center tweaks, but without deep system modifications.

Developer Nathan confirmed that the jailbreak’s internal version is already stable, though some features still need fixes. While there’s no release date yet, development is moving quickly and excitement in the community is growing.

Tester Huy Nguyen has already confirmed that several tweaks run smoothly on the current build, showing that NathanLR supports visual and UI customization — similar to RootHide Bootstrap and Serotonin on iOS 16.

In short, NathanLR will bring iOS 17.0 customization back without requiring a full jailbreak — a major win for users who stayed on that version.

Confirmed Working Tweaks

Early tests show several tweaks are already functional:

• Atria – Customize Home Screen icon layouts.
• JellyFish Reborn – Beautiful Lock Screen redesign inspired by watchOS.
• Dock Tweak – Hide or modify the Dock for a cleaner setup.
• Status Bar Mods – Customize date, time, and icon appearance.

Expected to Work

Tweaks likely to work with NathanLR include:

• Axon – Modern notification organizer.
• BatteryBuddy – Custom battery icons and display tweaks.
• BetterCC – Control Center layout customization.
• CozyBadges, Cylinder Remade, Dodo – Home Screen animations and Lock Screen enhancements.

Customization on iOS 17

Once released, NathanLR will bring back advanced customization:

• SnowBoard – Icon theming engine.
• Goji – Over 500 custom icons and badges.
• Spectrum – System color customization.
• Velvet 2 – Notification and media player tweaks.
• VisibleIsland & Zetsu – Dynamic Island and multitasking features.

SnowBoard works on 17.0 (nathanlr) by the way (status bar stuff definitely doesn’t though).

Anyways, here’s a video of nathanlr on my 12 mini on 17.0 (no eta’s, also tool UI/build number isn’t updated yet to reflect new support)
