PlumeImpactor – Simple IPA Sideloading Tool for iOS (macOS/Windows)

PlumeImpactor – Modern IPA Installer for iOS

PlumeImpactor is the latest sideloading tool from the creator of Feather, and it offers a big upgrade over traditional apps like Sideloadly. It can install SideStore and LiveContainer instantly, and it automatically creates all required pairing files—no extra setup, no extra steps. This makes it one of the easiest ways to get SideStore running on your device.

PlumeImpactor is available for macOS, Windows, and it uses your Apple ID to sign IPAs with a free 7-day certificate. Before installing, you can customize the app name, bundle ID, version, and compatibility options. With a lightweight UI and full cross-platform support, it feels smoother than AltStore while giving you advanced control over the final IPA.

PlumeImpactor – Modern IPA Installer for iOS

If you want a clean, open-source alternative to Sideloadly, AltStore, or older tools like Cydia Impactor, PlumeImpactor is one of the most flexible tools available today.

What Is PlumeImpactor?

PlumeImpactor is a cross-platform IPA signer and IPA installer for iPhone and iPad. It communicates with Apple’s servers through your Apple ID, generates the signing certificate, and installs the app using standard iOS services—just like iTunes or AltServer.

It’s fully open-source, written in Rust, and built with a wxWidgets UI. Its modular architecture includes separate tools for signing, pairing, and managing entitlements, making it fast, organized, and easy to maintain.

Key project goals:

  • Replace old utilities like Cydia Impactor
  • Offer a clean, simple UI
  • Give users full control over signed IPAs

Future updates are already planned: tweak injection, tvOS support, Flatpak, app exporting, and more.
