sileo

Sileo is a package manager for jailbroken iOS devices. It was developed by Elias Limneos and is designed to be a modern and efficient replacement for existing package managers like Cydia. Sileo aims to provide a faster and more stable experience for users installing and managing tweaks, themes, and other modifications on their jailbroken iPhones and iPads.

The development of Sileo was initiated in response to perceived limitations and performance issues with Cydia, the long-standing default package manager. Sileo utilizes a different underlying architecture and design philosophy, focusing on a cleaner user interface and improved backend operations. It supports repositories, which are sources for downloading packages, allowing users to customize their sources to access a wider range of available modifications.

One of Sileo's key features is its use of the libpackageinfo library, which is designed for better parsing and handling of package data. This contributes to its speed and stability. Sileo is also known for its dark theme and modern aesthetic, differing from the more traditional look of Cydia. It has become a popular choice for many in the jailbreak community, particularly on newer jailbreak releases. The project is open-source, allowing for community contributions and transparency.
