Supporting macOS, Linux[^1], and Windows[^2].\n\n[^1]: On Linux, usbmuxd must be installed on your system. Don\u0027t worry though, it comes with most popular distributions by default already! However, due to some distributions [udev](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/udev.7.html) rules `usbmuxd` may stop running after no devices are connected causing Impactor to not detect the device after plugging it in. You can mitigate this by plugging your phone first then restarting the app. \\\n\\\nAuto-refresh will not work the same as it would on other platforms like macOS/Windows, due to `usbmuxd` lacking WiFi connectivity so it will attempt to do it automatically only when a device is plugged in, we are looking for a proper solution though.\\\n\\\nSome distributions (like Bazzite) may need you to run `sudo update-crypto-policies` so `usbmuxd` ends up detecting the device again.\n\n[^2]: On Windows, [iTunes](https://support.apple.com/en-us/106372) must be downloaded so Impactor is able to use the drivers for interacting with Apple devices.\n\n![Demo of app](demo.png)\n\n### Features\n\n- User friendly and clean UI.\n- Supports installing [SideStore](https://github.com/SideStore/SideStore) and [LiveContainer](https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer) properly.\n- Supports Linux.\n- Sign and sideload appl",
