Absinthe for Mac

Untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1.

Free

Absinthe overview

Absinthe 2.0 is finally here to provide your iOS 5.1.1 device with an untethered jailbreak. This release has been a large collaborative effort between Chronic-Dev Team and iPhone Dev Teams (Jailbreak Dream Team)

This jailbreak supports firmware 5.1.1 ONLY and is again one of the easiest jailbreaks to use (so easy your grandma could do it ;D)

Note: If you are already running a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.1.1 search Cydia for "Rocky Racoon 5.1.1 Untether" to simply untether the jailbreak. It's unnecessary to run this tool.

What’s new in version 1.0.0

Version 2.0.4 (1.0.0):

Note: This product is not compatible with macOS Catalina and later.

Note: MacUpdate Desktop and Finder report this as 1.0.0, but the dev states it is 2.0.4.

  • Added iPad2,4 (new model) support.
  • Added lockdown error -5 workaround

Yes it is easy to use. But I lost the WiFi Connection of my iPad after jb. Could not find the Router anymore (a few inches in distance). Did a few restarts, iPad and Router… nothing. I then set the iPad back to non jb – the WiFi Connection is excellent. Any ideas?

I asked my gran to jalbreak my iPhone (the devs said she could!). She can follow simple instructions and press a mouse button, so what was there to lose, right? It took her less than 5 minutes and my phone is now so much more accessible! Thanks gran, but more so thanks to Chronic-Dev Team for making it so damn easy!

These guys are amazing. A quick, smooth, entirely trouble-free jailbreak on iPhone 4S. Just like legal software, only in many cases better.
