[!NOTE] RyukGram is closed source for now and will open up again later. Builds and translations stay current here.

Install

Add it in one tap

Open it on your phone and everything is one tap away. Add it once and updates arrive on their own.

• Sideload. Adds the source to Feather or RyukSign, SideStore, or AltStore. Pick the plugins build normally, or no plugins if you sign with a free Apple account, since free accounts cannot sign the bundled extensions.
• Jailbreak. Adds the repo to Sileo or Zebra, then installs the build that matches your setup. To paste it by hand the repo is https://source.ryuksign.com/apt/.

Build your own IPA

Instagram itself cannot be bundled here, so you bring the Instagram IPA and the build slots RyukGram into it.

With GitHub Actions, no Mac needed. Fork this repo, open the Actions tab, and run Build sideloaded IPA from Release Assets. Give it your Instagram IPA and it hands back a patched IPA ready to sign and install. Turn on the no-plugins option if you sign with a free account.

Or by hand with a tool like cyan, injecting into your own Instagram IPA: - Regular build. Inject zxPluginsInject.dylib into the app and its plugins. The normal one, with the bundled extensions. - No-plugins build. Inject NoPluginsPatch.dylib instead. For a plugin free sideload, or a free account where extensions cannot be signed.

Download the .deb

Prefer the file? Both builds are on the latest release.

The rootless .deb also carries the dylib and bundle the sideload builds use.

TrollStore

Download RyukGram_trollfools.zip from the latest release and inject it into Instagram with TrollFools.

Once it is running, open the settings by holding the button at the top of your profile, or the home button in the tab bar. Screenshots are below.

Want RyukGram in your language? Export the strings from Settings, Debug, Localization, translate the right side of each "key" = "value"; line, and open a pull request with your file at src/Localization/Resources/<code>.lproj/Localizable.strings. Keep the format specifiers like %@ and %lu exactly as they are. Missing lines fall back to English, so partial work is welcome. Anything you contribute is licensed to the project under the same terms as RyukGram.

Credits

RyukGram got its start from SCInsta by @SoCuul, and I'm grateful for the foundation it gave the project. That code has since been fully rewritten and none of it remains, so RyukGram is its own separate codebase. It went closed source because earlier releases were being lifted and resold as paid tweaks, which is something I can't keep feeding, and I know some of you valued it staying open. Thanks to @SoCuul and the wider iOS tweak scene for paving the way.

• @SoCuul for SCInsta, the spark for this project
• @BandarHL for BHInstagram
• @VAXMG for OLED theme inspiration
• @euoradan for experiment flag research
• @n3d1117 for the Following feed
• BillyCurtis for the Safari extension base
• @asdfzxcvbn for ipapatch and zxPluginsInject
