Dayn – Modern Notification Banner System for iOS

Another day, another tweak. Dayn brings modern notification banners to iOS. Here’s how you can this install this jailbreak tweak on your iPhone or iPad.

How Dayn works 

Admit it, the stock notification banner of iOS is bland and boring. It also lacks any kind of customization options. That’s where this new tweak comes in.   

Dayn adds a slick-looking notification banner system to the iOS operating system. It is developed by JannickCrack and Jamie Devvix.

Here’s a quick rundown of its features:

• Endless Customization: Dayn comes with a comprehensive preferences section that lets you customize notifications to your liking. You can customize all aspects of the notification banners. Style, font, color, profile picture – everything is customizable!             
• Continuous Notifications: Dayn updates the notification banners in real-time whenever you receive a new message from a contact.
• Tiny Banner: The Tiny banner is a minimalistic banner format that takes up less space while still keeping the various features of Dayn active. You can also set the tiny banner to trigger only when there is little to no text in a notification.   
• Intelligent Dark/Light mode switching: The appearance of the notifications changes automatically with your setup.           

Here’s how this tweak looks like in action.

Download Dayn Cydia Tweak

Dayn really spices up the super-boring notification banners of the stock iOS operating system!

We highly recommend this tweak to all Apple fanatics, especially those with a notched device. Go ahead and install it on your Apple device. There’s really no reason not to.  

As far as compatibility goes, Dayn is fully compatible with all popular notification tweaks like ColorBanners 3, ColorMeNotifs, and Quart.

If you use ColorBanners 3, disable the “Background Blur” setting. Quart users, on the other hand, should disable the “banner” setting when using it alongside Dayn.        

Dayn is available for download on Chariz repo for $1.99. It is compatible with iOS 12 and 13.
