Sleepers.net Announces Alternative to Cydia

Sleepers.net has announced Kryptes, an alternative package handler to Cydia for jailbroken iPhones.

Kryptes is a new, lightweight, package handler that was designed with the end user in mind. We are very excited to announce its release and hope the community appreciates all the hard work that we have put into this. We do understand that there are going to be several questions the Community might have for us, so we will try to answer most of them in this post.


Q: Are you trying to compete with Cydia and Installer?
A: No, we have tried to reach out to both of the developers for each one of these handlers several times. We have been continually shot down when we asked if we could become a default repository/source. IT was as if we did not exist, when we feel we have given much to the community.

Q: So why did you produce a Application, when there are already 2 prominent applications that exist that are similiar to Kryptes?
A: We have over 600 developers in our repository, we felt to give them the most exposure in the Community we were left with no choice, but to build our own Package Handler. If we would have been accepted as a default repository with the other Package Handlers the build of Kryptes would not have happened.

You can install Kryptes by adding the Sleepers.net repo to Cydia and install the "A Alternative to Cydia and Installer" package. We are not aware of how safe or stable this application is, to get more information on Kryptes use the link below...
