If you’re the type of person that likes to kill all the apps in yourApp Switcherwhen you’re finishing using your iPhone, then chances are you’ll come to appreciate a newly releasedjailbreak tweakdubbedKillX Proby iOS developercemck.
Like the name implies, KillX Pro lets users kill every app from their App Switcher in one fell swoop without having to swipe on each app preview card individually to accomplish the same effect. Instead, as shown in the screenshot examples above, KillX Pro adds a single button to the bottom of your App Switcher to do this with just a tap.
If it wasn’t already evident, KillX Pro comes with different themes and behavior. Some of the app preview cards show a Lock icon by the app’s name, and that’s because they’re blacklisted from being killed with KillX Pro.

If you’re still onboard with clearing the App Switcher in one fell swoop, then you candownload KillX Pro for $1.49from the Havoc repository in Cydia or Sileo. The tweak supports alljailbrokeniOS 11, 12, 13, and 14 devices.
