The project's README from github.com/Nouvborne/Ketamine. As one markdown file: README.md.
Ketamine is an on-device MobileGestalt editor that lets you modify supported system values directly from your iPhone — no PC required.
⚠️ Experimental: Many features in Ketamine are still untested across all devices and iOS versions. Things may not work as expected. Please report bugs, issues, and compatibility results in our Discord.
iOS 26.0 or newer. Tweaks and Siri AI Setup additionally require iOS 27 — see the table below.
| iOS Version | MobileGestalt Editing | Customization |
|---|---|---|
| iOS 18.x and earlier | ❌ Unsupported | ❌ Unsupported |
| iOS 26.0 – 26.6 | ❌ Unsupported | ✅ Supported |
| iOS 27.0 Beta 1 – Beta 4 | ✅ Supported | ✅ Supported |
| Later versions | ❌ Patched | ❌ Unsupported |
Note: On iOS 26, the exploit does not provide the access required for MobileGestalt editing, so tweaks are unavailable. PosterBoard may still work, but compatibility has not been fully verified.
Siri AI Setup is beta. It can cause instability, boot loops, or require a device restore, and the Siri AI mode in particular is the least reliable feature in Ketamine — it may have no effect at all. Every key it touches is saved first, so its changes can be reverted. Back up before using it.
