Home PageBossPrefs 2.16
BossPrefs is a flexible toggle tool that lets you toggle any preference
that you can toggle using a term program. It has a very powerful plug-in
interface that lets you create a plug-in to handle any toggle. It should
be the fastest loading services type app out because it grabs status
asynchronously while the app is initializing rather than waiting on
status from each plug-in before displaying the app window.

Home PageCategories 2.23
Categories allows you to create folders on your desktop. This allows you
to organize your desktop rather than having it be a huge mess. The app
comes with a GUI configurator so that you do not have to edit text
files. When you add an app to a category, it is removed from the
springboard list so that it no longer shows up on the main desktop. When
you remove the app from the category it is returned back to the
springboard.

Home PageInsomnia 2.0
Insomnia is an iPhone native application that, when enabled, will
prevent the iPhone from sleeping, thus overriding its default behaviour.
This allows background applications to continue to run and WiFi to work
long after the screen has been switched off. (The iPhone's default
behaviour is to sleep 30 seconds after the screen has gone off, when not
docked and charging that is).
