Sideloader is an open-source application for signing and installing third-party iOS software from Windows, Linux, and macOS. Developed primarily in the D programming language, it provides an alternative to tools such as Cydia Impactor and Sideloadly. Its cross-platform command-line interface handles application installation, signing, and device registration. The software can manage Apple developer certificates and registered application identifiers. It also prepares pairing files for SideStore installations. A GTK4 graphical interface is available for Linux, simplifying common sideloading tasks. Additional Qt and SwiftUI interfaces are under development for broader desktop support. Sideloader is designed for users who need transparent, customizable application installation workflows without relying on proprietary sideloading utilities.
