Control Center is one of the interfaces I use the most often on my iPhone, and while I applaud Apple for having an all-in-one command center for toggles and shortcuts, that doesn’t stop me from thinking that the design has started to look a bit stale in recent years and that it’s a bit light on features.
A new jailbreak tweak called Prysm by iOS developer LaughingQuoll aims to resolve some of these gripes by giving Control Center a complete aesthetic overhaul and adding useful features to the interface while maintaining compatibility with other Control Center-centric add-ons for jailbroken handsets.
The screenshot example above is worth a thousand words and will help you discern for yourself just how stunning Control Center looks after installing Prysm.
The first thing you’ll notice is that Control Center is moved down closer to the bottom of the display, making it much easier to use with just one hand. But more importantly, the interface looks absolutely gorgeous with horizontal brightness and volume sliders and a rounded aesthetic with a new battery level indicator that conforms well with iOS 13’s general design.
But this screenshot alone doesn’t do the tweak justice. It’s also worth noting that Prysm is fully interactive with support for Haptic Touch on individual toggles or shortcuts:

Prysm is currently only available as a beta to LaughingQuoll’s Patreon supporters via the Packix repository, but it has received oodles of praise from its early testers thus far. Given what we’re looking at here, we can only say we agree with the feedback.
Prysm supports jailbroken iOS 11, 12, and 13 devices, and it doesn’t yet have any options to configure. Configuration should come in an update as the tweak rolls out of beta, which LaughingQuoll claims is destined to happen rather soon.
