Abstergo: A Supper Powerful Manage Tweak fro Notifications[Video]
Abstergo was a concept tweak debuted last year, it has been worked on for over a year. It is the concept and creation of Andrew Richardson and Joshua Tucker, and it promises to make managing your notifications better on iOS. And now this tweak is finally going to meet us.
With its release a mere six days away, Abstergo is shaping up to be a tweak that has been well worth waiting for. I believe it truly will lend a better ability to managing iOS notifications. It’s one of those tweaks that’s a bit difficult to explain how it can help you without seeing it in action for yourself. For that reason, we’ve hit the video lab to give you an in-depth hands-on demonstration of the tweak’s most intimate functions. Take a look past the break for the full scoop.

Abstergo features a preference panel in the Settings app, but for
now, it’s only used for contacting the developers of the tweak. Since
everything about Abstergo uses stock iOS UI, there was really no place
for the developers to interject any personal sentiments without slapping
a preference panel in the Settings app.
For those of you who feel that iOS’ notifications lack the flexibility that they should, you’ll be especially happy with Abstergo. In the famous words of Mr. Sam Cooke, It’s been a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come. Well folks, as far as notifications on iOS go, that change is almost here. On April 21st, you’ll be able to purchase Abstergo from Cydia for $1.99. Hit me up in the comments section.

From my usage with the tweak, I’ve been able to break up its functions
into a few key areas. First and foremost, Abstergo allows you to clear
all notifications from the Lock screen in one fell swoop. This is
accomplished by dragging down on the Lock screen when you have more than
one notification on screen at once. A quick swipe quickly clears all
notifications display on the Lock screen without unlocking your device.
Abstergo also lends the ability to clear individual notifications using
swipe gestures while in Notification Center.
The second big aspect of Abstergo is its ability to set snooze reminders
for notifications. This can be accomplished by using a simple tap and
hold gesture on the notification itself. Tap and hold gestures can be
used while on the Lock screen, in Notification Center, and you can even
execute them on messages received in the Messages app. Reminders can be
established in 5 minute blocks of time. Once enough time elapses for the
reminder to take effect, the notifications appear just as they would
appear if the notification was just received for the first time.
Once a reminder is set, you can add the notification back to the Lock
screen by means of a tap and hold gesture, lending further emphasis to
its importance. You can tell which notifications have reminders set for
them by means of the little clock icon residing to the right of the
notification. Reminders can be easily cleared and edited, again, by
using simple tap and hold gestures on the notification itself.
