What is PostBox?
PostBox brings the latest jailbreak news to your fingertips. Use PostBox to access your favorite packages and repositories while unjailbroken, all without the hassle of constantly searching on the web. With in-app .deb download and extraction, you can install themes using only your phone.
If it is not a package manager, what is the point of PostBox?
We made PostBox to fill a need – to provide users without a jailbreak, a better experience when browsing for packages and repositories. Most importantly, bringing jailbreak themes to the unjailbroken in a streamlined way.
Will PostBox ever be a package manager?
Being built on SwiftUI and its limited framework, the development of a package manager is very challenging. While there are currently no plans for PostBox to be one, we are looking forward to developer feedback once the project is open-sourced.
