AppHeads is a tweak released during this night in Cydia for iPhone and iPod Touch, it was designed with the idea of giving us a completely new way to manage applications open in the background in our iDevices. AppHeads borrowing an idea implemented by Facebook in its own application, displaying the so-called Chat Heads that were icons with the profile picture of the users with whom we were having discussions, those icons being permanently displayed in any menu of the application. AppHeads does the same thing in iOS 8, only it displays the icons of open applications in the background and allows accessing them from anywhere and anytime.
In the video clip above you can see how it works AppHeads for our iDevices, and in short it can be activated in any of the iOS applications, everywhere in the interface, or only in certain menus, it allows the use of certain actions when accessing the icons and many others. Moreover, AppHeads can be activated in LockScreen, can be hidden while watching videos, can be accessed only from certain parts of the screen and only with certain gestures, plus many, many others.
AppHeads is available for download for $5 in the BigBoss repo Cydia.
