Few months back, UI designer Sentry of the Auxo fame had revealed a concept to turn on or off the Do Not Disturb feature via the Notification Centerusing a pull-to-refresh like gesture.
Ryan Petrich, developer of popular jailbreak tweaks such as ProSwitcher, DeepEnd, Color Profiles, Rotation Inhibitor etc. worked with Sentry to make the concept a reality.
They’ve just released a tweak calledLuna on Cydia, which allows you to turn on or off the Do Not Disturb feature with pull-to-refresh-like gesture.
With Luna installed, all you need to do is pull down from the top of the screen on the lock screen or Notification Center to turn on/off the Do Not Disturb feature.
In addition to this, when Do Not Disturb is enabled, it displays banner notifications in a non-intrusive way in the status bar when the device is unlocked. The developers are calling them non-obstructive nocturnal banners. You also have the option to disable the alert tones via the Settings app (though the alert tone toggle doesn’t seem to be working in the initial version).
Luna is available on Cydia for $1.99. It’s a pretty cool way to turn on/off the Do Not Disturb feature, but some of you may think it is a little expensive for a tweak just for these features, especially since there are tweaks like NCSettings and SBSettings (with custom toggle) that offer the functionality to enable/disable for free.
But if they can fix the bug with the alert tone toggle then it would be worth every penny as I really like the non-intrusive banners for notifications and ability to disable alert tones when Do Not Disturb is enabled, as it is exactly how I want the feature to work when the device is unlocked rather than using such workarounds and not to forget the quality you get with a tweak developed by Petrich and designed by Sentry.
You can purchase and download the tweak from Cydia using this link (works only on jailbroken iOS devices).
