Palera1n GUI

The Palera1n jailbreak has remained reliable for arm64 devices (A11 and older) because it uses the checkm8 bootrom exploit, which Apple can't patch with a simple software update. However, many users are discouraged by its command line interface, especially when compared to the more user-friendly, click-based GUI that Checkra1n once offered.

Luckily, /u/quick_Supermario80 decided to create an easy-to-use GUI for the Palera1n jailbreak, compatible with both macOS and Linux. It includes the same basic commands as the command line version but offers a clickable interface. This could attract more users with compatible devices to try jailbreaking with Palera1n for the first time.

Although this isn't an official project (as shown by the red “unofficial project” label in the center of the GUI), it's built on the latest version of Palera1n. The developer mentioned in the /r/jailbreak release post that the Palera1n GUI uses SwiftUI for macOS and HTML for Linux, which is worth noting.

Removing palera1n

Use the following guide to remove palera1n from your device. Make sure your device is connected to the PC or Mac. And you need to use a computer that already installed palera1n. If not, You need to install palera1n first and then follow these steps.
