Adi's Repo Series 26
  • Adi's Repo
  • iOS 6 apps made for the big 26
  • Cydia source
  • Component series 26
  • 4 titles

Built in 2026 for hardware from 2012.

New software for old machines. Components written this year — with 2026’s ideas about how software should feel — for the iPads, iPhones and iPods still running iOS 6, where the App Store can no longer sign in and nothing modern will install.

On an iOS 6 device? Open the edition built for it — this page needs CSS that shipped after 2012.

Designed, coded, cross-compiled, packaged and served by one person.
No ads · no accounts · no telemetry · nothing phoning home.

Plain http, deliberately. iOS 6 cannot validate the certificate roots the modern web uses, so an https source would refuse to load on the very devices this exists for.

01 Book Owl

Model C01 · Rev 0.2.1

Book Owl

iPad · iOS 6+ · 22.4 MB · 29 Aug 2026

An ereader for iOS 6 that takes its cues from iBooks: paper under everything, a shelf that keeps its own hours, page turns you can catch mid-curl — and an owl you can ask about the book, answered by your own machine.

02 iOS 6 Siri Remastered

Model C02 · Rev 1.4

iOS 6 Siri Remastered

iPad · iPhone · iOS 6 · 60 KB · 29 Aug 2026

Apple switched off the service iOS 6's Siri called, and Siri went quiet. This points it at a server you run at home, running whatever open model you choose — it is built and tested on Google's Gemma 4. It holds a real conversation, follow-ups and all, and the answers come back in Apple's own result cards: the weather widget, the sports board with its inning-by-inning line score, the player card, the ticker, the movie marquee, WolframAlpha's plotted pods. Nothing is recreated. Every card is drawn by the code Apple shipped in 2012.

Bug reports, a device it does or does not run on, or a request — all welcome. These are small apps for old machines, and hearing that someone is using one is most of the point.
