Gone are the days of your apps being placed one after another. With Griddy, you can drag them anywhere, leaving blank spaces or even entire rows!
Show off your background, or create fancy designs; no matter how you want to arrange your icons, Griddy will let you.
Key features:
- Custom layouts on home screen, dock and in folders
- Intuitive drag-and-drop controls
- Support for any sized icon or widget
- Separate layouts for portrait and landscape orientations
- Saving layout between resprings and reboots
No matter if you're a minimalist or enjoy a creative scatter, arrange your icons however you want with Griddy!
Griddy supports any device on iOS 15, 16 or 17 (rootless and roothide)
Griddy keeps your layout in its own preferences domain, com.mikifp.griddy. On roothide that file
lands in the jbroot, where third party preference domains are redirected to; on rootless it is
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.mikifp.griddy.plist. Nothing is written anywhere else, and
there is no preference bundle.
Removing the package deletes that file, so uninstalling leaves no layout data behind. Respring after removing Griddy — until SpringBoard restarts it still has the tweak mapped and can write the layout back one more time. Removal does not respring on its own, because that would kill the package manager mid-transaction.
One thing an uninstall cannot undo: while Griddy is installed it hands SpringBoard a reordered icon
list, and SpringBoard saves that order in its own icon state. Your home screen therefore does not
snap back to its pre-Griddy arrangement, the icons collapse into the order Griddy last used.
GriddyPreserveIconOrder leaves SpringBoard's order untouched instead:
defaults write /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.mikifp.griddy.plist GriddyPreserveIconOrder -bool true
It is off by default, as the drag, folder and rotation paths are still being tested with it enabled.
I'd just like to thank donato-fiore for all the help with Griddy. The project would not be where it is today without him.
