Circuitous, a new custom app switch for the iPhone by Dan Zimmerman, is now available from the Big Boss Cydia repository.

Circuitous is a custom app switcher. It shows your open applications in a nice dock on the right side of the screen, you can launch and exit apps from there. Also, you can cycly through your open apps. With this I mean the apps you have open, in the order you opened them, are cycled. They open the next app in line. There is forward and backward cycling in this version! All three of these features, the dock, cycling forward, and cycling backward are all managed by Activator methods within the package called libactivator.

The application can be installed free from the Tweaks section of Cydia.

Saw this post, saw the reviews - checked it out myself. Proswitcher has nothing on Circuitous Proswitcher - laggy Kirikae - buggy Forget which one actually wanted $$ Circuitous - legit, stable, lovely UI

At least I have found no bugs in Kirikae.

It's good, better than ProSwitcher, nice look, but I still think Kirikae rules. I like the favourites tab so I can open apps from there instead of scrolling pages It may not be pretty but it is the most efficient

Just downloaded it and I can honestly say that I find it easier to use then ProSwitcher. I thought I would never switch to something different then ProSwitcher but Circuitous is actually a really nice and simple program. Feels as thought its a part of the Apple OS.
