Cydia.app



Cydia is an open source software installer created by Saurik that uses the Debian APT system for package management. It is included with all iPhone Dev Team jailbreaks, and is found in every mainstream jailbreak tool (e.g evasi0n, absinthe, redsn0w, limera1n, blackra1n, PwnageTool, sn0wbreeze, greenpois0n, Spirit, Star) since iOS 2.0.

Some jailbreak tools install smaller apps (such as Loader.app (greenpois0n) or blackra1n.app (blackra1n and limera1n)) to download and install Cydia directly on the device, instead of having it installed at the same time as jailbreaking, making for a lighter download and jailbreak.
