mac2jb 0.6.0 adds MintBrew, a single homebrew library that opens after the jailbreak
On Oct 29, 2026, developer cpypwn published version 0.6.0 of mac2jb on GitHub, the program that uses a Mac to start ns2jb. The main new feature, according to the author's notes, is MintBrew: a library of homebrew (unofficial apps) that opens on its own after the jailbreak and brings together Stremio, the DOOM proof of concept, OunceCake and small apps that run on the GPU. You can switch apps without restarting the connection to the Mac (the RPC session, a remote command channel) and add or remove apps while it is open. Stremio gained tab switching with the controller, seeking and resume. And the USB cable can be unplugged once the connection opens, as long as the Switch stays on a wired network (ethernet) and both devices stay on the same network.

Context
It is still tethered: it depends on a computer and is gone when the Switch restarts. There is also no kernel and no CFW (modified system); everything runs in userland, like a normal app. It only works on a Mac with Apple Silicon and requires turning off SIP, a macOS security protection, which is a risk to the Mac itself. Research and proof of concept on firmware 23.0.1, with a risk of brick and ban. See the earlier news on mac2jb 0.5.0. This site does not publish step-by-step guides or download links.
