Why is the Neko online tool so special?
With iOS 18 and later, the Neko online tool is the only supported jailbreak method, as Neko Trollstore and Neko Sideloadly no longer work. These outdated methods are incompatible with the latest iOS versions, making the online approach the best option.
Neko JB supports Cydia, Zebra, and Sileo, allowing users to choose their preferred package manager after jailbreaking. Since it functions as a semi-jailbreak and doesn’t modify system files, it won’t void your Apple warranty.
Compared to TrollStore and Sideloading, the online method is safer and easier to use, with no need for backups. It also supports all the latest iPhone models, including the iPhone 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12 series. While sideloading tools can be complex, Neko’s online method is beginner-friendly and requires minimal steps.
Most online jailbreaks are revoked after seven days, but the Neko online tool remains active until uninstalled. With older tools like Unc0ver and Checkra1n now obsolete, Palera1n remains a viable semi-tethered option, but for a secure and long-lasting jailbreak, the Neko online tool is the best choice.
