Multifl0w – Promising Multitasking Concept for iPhone

Posted by Jamila Saturday, November 21, 2009

Multifl0w is a not-yet-released app that promises a different and very promising looking approach to app switching on a jailbroken iPhone.

One of the very best things about jailbreaking an iPhone (especially a 3GS) is the ability to multitask – to run non-built-in (Mail, Safari, iPod) apps in the background and switch between them. There are a few jailbreak apps around that provide this extra functionality – Backgrounder provides the ability to let apps remain running in the background, and apps like Kirikae and mQuickDo offer ways to switch between those ‘backgrounded’ apps or other favorite, most frequently used ones.

Multifl0w offers a coverflow / Palm Pre Cards style method for switching between backgrounded apps – so once you invoke it (via home button presses) you just swipe to switch between running apps.

I’m very keen to see whether this one is as good as it looks. Hopefully we may see it soon – the only ‘status’ listed for it on the multifl0w site right now is: This is going to be submitted to both Cydia and Rock.

Check out the demo video below and let us know what you think of multifl0w.
