Hyperixa released another jailbreak tweak this weekend, the latest being called Logger.
Logger is a powerful new tracking utility that allows the primary user of a device to log any activity on a specified device. This can be especially handy when you’re lending your device to another temporary user, such as a friend or family member, and you want to make sure they don’t do things on your device that you wouldn’t approve of.
Among the things you can do with Logger:
- Log incoming notifications that may have been dismissed from your apps.
- Record keystrokes, in which applications those keystrokes were performed, as well as dates and times.
- View iCloud backup history
- View each dialed phone number, including date and time
- View flight mode switch history, including date and time
- See when shared sheets have been opened and used, as well as in which applications they have been used.
- View each Siri usage
- See when the Control Center was opened and in which applications it was used
- View all the times your phone was locked or unlocked
- View all the times your phone has rebooted or rebooted.
- View all application launches
- View all the times Springboard’s edit mode was used, or when apps were deleted or removed from the home screen.
- View all folder accesses on the home screen
- View each time the App Library has been accessed
- View every time Today view opened or closed
- View each time the Spotlight search function was used
- View every time a screenshot or screen recording was taken, and in which apps it was taken.
As the developer noted on the Logger description page, all data is stored locally on your device for your peace of mind. The data is stored in /var/mobile/Logger and is available at any time. The developer does not collect, upload or see this data.
Like other jailbreak settings for logging, Logger can be used by attackers, namely those who can install the tool on someone else’s device without their knowledge. For this reason, it’s a good idea to know where the data is stored, as this allows you to regularly check if you’re being tracked.
With great power comes great responsibility, and iDB does not advocate the use of such a tool on any device other than your own.
Tools like this typically cost the end user a monthly fee, while Logger is available for a convenient $2.50 one-time fee from the Hyperixa repository that you can use in any of your favorite package manager applications. Logger is only compatible with jailbroken iOS 14 devices.
