Open Source Swift Installers

Feather is a free, open-source application manager and sideloading utility for iOS and iPadOS that signs and installs applications directly on Apple devices. It uses certificates associated with the Apple Developer Program to handle app signing without requiring a computer for routine installation. The software supports IPA files and compatible AltStore repositories for discovering applications. Users can inspect detailed information about installed apps and signing certificates. Configurable signing options allow modifications to app appearance, Files app integration, and compatibility settings. Advanced users can inject DEB packages and dynamic libraries through ElleKit. Feather also includes application patching features and multilingual interface support. Its privacy-focused design contains no tracking or analytics.

SideInstaller is a free, open-source iOS application that installs SideStore and LiveContainer directly on an iPhone or iPad without conventional desktop installation tools. It handles Apple account authentication, device pairing, provisioning, and application installation through an integrated interface. On iOS 27 and later, the project supports a fully on-device setup workflow. Earlier compatible versions require a pairing file generated through a separate process. Users can install SideStore individually or alongside LiveContainer. The software also accepts custom installation links for downloading IPA files from websites. Additional URL schemes support importing pairing files and signing certificates. Its guided setup minimizes command-line configuration and makes alternative iOS application installation more accessible.

TrollFools is an open-source iOS customization utility that injects tweaks into installed applications without rebuilding their IPA packages. Developed with SwiftUI, it uses insert_dylib and ChOma to modify Mach-O executables directly. The software targets devices compatible with TrollStore, primarily running iOS 14 through iOS 17. It allows users to introduce dynamic library modifications into supported applications. Its in-place approach avoids the traditional process of extracting, modifying, and reinstalling application archives. The project includes components for binary manipulation and tweak development. Compatibility varies depending on application encryption and system restrictions. TrollFools is intended for advanced users experimenting with application customization on supported iOS devices.
