It’s absolutely frustrating when your iPhone’sbatterydies on you mid-game or while watching the climax of your favorite movie. Having said that, don’t you sometimes wish you had enough of a heads up to run and fetch your charger before that happens?
After having a personal experience of their own along these lines, iOS developerExeRhythmreleased a freejailbreak tweakdubbedSpeedrunTimethat gives you a heads up to plug in at 1% charge before the handset shuts down automatically.
The auto-shutdown measure exists for the sole purpose of preventing your battery from discharging so low to the point of potential damage. It’s a good feature, but the lack of a heads-up is what impacts the user experience.
When you get the pop-up provided by SpeedrunTime, you’re afforded just enough time to run speedily to your charger. Alternatively, you can tap on the “I don’t care” button to let your iPhone die as it usually would.
Something worth noting about SpeedrunTime is that it was built using theSwiftprogramming language by way of theOriondevelopment tool. So in addition to being a useful tweak, it was also created using a modern coding platform.
Those interested in giving SpeedrunTime candownload it for free from ExeRhythm’s personal repositoryvia their favorite package manager app, and it should run on alljailbrokeniOS 14 devices without so much as a hiccup.
The developer has alsoopen-sourced the tweak on GitHubfor those interested in learning more about how it works.
