We showed you a really nicenotificationaesthetic rework for jailbroken iOS 13 devices last year called Dayn, and this weekend, we’re excited to share that a new version of Dayn is now available specifically for the likes of jailbroken iOS 14 devices.
Right out of the box, the newDayn (iOS 14)jailbreak tweakby iOS developersDevvixandJannikCrackwill feel very familiar if you’ve used the original Dayn. For the most part, it’s going to be the same add-on, albeit with support for the newer firmware and a few additional options since the last time we showed you the tweak.
What you’ll see in the screenshot examples above is that Dayn (iOS 14) completely reimagines the aesthetics of your incoming notification banner system. Whether you’re into the edge-to-edge look, or you like something with rounded corners at the bottom to mirror the rounded corners of your notched handset, Dayn (iOS 14) has the features you’re looking for.
But Dayn (iOS 14) offers more than just good looks; it also brings a feature called Continuous Notifications to the table, which lets you view an entire messaging app’s conversation history from the banner notification without tapping on the notification to open the app to do the very same thing. This can be incredibly helpful for reasons relating to context discovery in case you forget what a particular conversation is about.
Another feature I like about Dayn (iOS 14) is that the developers took their time to appreciate attention to detail. An option exists within Dayn (iOS 14) to shrink notification banners to a specific height such that they won’t intrude on app user interfaces — namely the Navigation Bar and the buttons that reside there.
Once installed, Dayn (iOS 14 adds a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app where users will be able to configure the tweak to their liking:
From here, users will be able to:
Of course, with so many different preference panes to go over, we wouldn’t leave you hanging. Below, we’ll dive deeper into those preference panes so you can see what Dayn (iOS 14) will let you do with your pwned handset’s notifications:

Dayn (iOS 14) is just as impressive on iOS 14 devices as it was on iOS 13 devices because Apple made virtually no attempt to freshen up its notification system with this release (nor have they done so with iOS 15). Having said that, if you’re just thirsty for something new and exciting, then Dayn (iOS 14) is a great way to quench that thirst.
Dayn (iOS 14) isavailable for $1.99 from the Chariz repositoryvia any package manager app of your choosing and supportsjailbrokeniOS 14 devices only. If you already own the previous iOS 13 version, then the newer iOS 14 version is a free upgrade per the developer.
