GestaltX is an open-source iPhone and iPad app by huamidev for viewing and editing MobileGestalt configuration data. It provides presets and field-level tools for changing device capability values related to display features such as Dynamic Island and Always-On Display, device settings such as charge limits and sounds, iPad features such as Stage Manager, and region-code and Apple Intelligence capability flags. Its field editor can read, search, add, edit, and remove typed plist values, with local plist import and export.

Overview

The app stages changes for before-and-after review, verifies writes, records original values for restoration, and creates an automatic initial backup and a backup before each write. Backups can be opened, exported, restored, or deleted; the app also provides exploit-stage logs and manual NeoSpring respring support. It supports iOS and iPadOS 27.x for on-device MobileGestalt access, while local plist editing is also available; the README states that iOS and iPadOS 26.x are not supported for on-device access.

GestaltX is distributed as an IPA through GitHub Releases and requires signing with a certificate and provisioning profile containing a usable App Group. The project is licensed under GNU GPL v3. Its README warns that MobileGestalt changes can cause system instability or require a device restore, and limits use to devices owned or authorized by the user.
