What Kind of Posts and Updates Are Published on cizzuk.net?
Updated
cizzuk.net publishes two distinct types of content: short app release announcements and longer technical notes. The release posts are brief version notices for Cizzuk's own iOS apps and Safari extensions. The notes are practical write-ups, mostly about working around iOS and desktop limitations, written in English or Japanese depending on the topic. If you are looking for tutorials, changelogs, or usage tricks for apps like Deflector, Side Search, CBNote, or Alare, this is where they appear.
App Release Announcements
The site's "Posts" section leads with dated version updates. These are short announcements rather than detailed changelogs — the kind of post that tells you a new build exists and roughly what area it touches.
| Post | Date |
|---|---|
| Deflector 1.2 is out | October 27, 2026 |
| Deflector 1.1 is out | October 24, 2026 |
| WebA11Y 3.7 is out | October 8, 2026 |
Two patterns are worth noting. First, updates cluster: Deflector received 1.1 and 1.2 within three days, which suggests iterative fixes after a feature release rather than a slow cadence. Second, the announcements cover both app-style products (Deflector) and Safari extensions (WebA11Y), so the feed mixes platforms.
If you want to know what changed in a version, expect to check the app itself or the linked product page — the post titles here signal availability, not a full feature list.
Technical Notes and Workarounds
The longer posts are hands-on notes about making devices do something they were not designed to do. Three examples from the site show the range:
- Ubuntu WaylandでVRChatのミュートをいつでも切り替えられるようにする (July 5, 2026) — a Japanese-language note on toggling VRChat mute at any time under Ubuntu Wayland. This is desktop Linux configuration, not iOS.
- Side Button Accessでアプリの強制起動を回避する (April 9, 2026) — a Japanese note on avoiding forced app launch through Side Button Access, the Japan-only iOS feature that Side Search builds on.
- カメラコントロールからアプリを起動できるようにする (December 22, 2025) — a Japanese note on launching apps from Camera Control, the hardware button that CBNote repurposes.
The common thread is constraint-driven problem solving: a button or system feature has a fixed behavior, and the note explains how to redirect it. That matches the product lineup, where Deflector runs shortcuts from the Dynamic Island, Apple Watch, or Side Button, and Side Search swaps the Side Button's voice assistant.
Language and Audience
Headings and product descriptions are in English; the technical notes above are in Japanese. A reader who only reads English can still follow the release posts and product pages but will miss the step-by-step notes. Conversely, the Japanese notes assume familiarity with iOS settings and, in the VRChat case, Linux desktop configuration — they are not beginner introductions.
What You Will Not Find
Based on the site's structure, the posts are not a general blog. There is no visible category for opinion pieces, reviews of other developers' apps, or news commentary. The content stays tied to Cizzuk's own software and the platform quirks it addresses. Pricing and distribution details are not discussed in the posts; distribution is handled separately through AltStore PAL, where Cizzuk Source is listed as a recommended source.
How to Use the Feed
- Tracking a specific app: scan the post titles for the app name (Deflector, WebA11Y) and treat the date as the availability marker.
- Learning a workaround: open the Japanese notes if you are configuring Side Button Access or Camera Control; they are the only step-level content on the site.
- Checking for new tools: new product names appear as headings on the main page before they get dedicated posts, so the homepage and the posts list together give the fullest picture.
The practical takeaway: cizzuk.net is a developer's own changelog plus a small set of field notes. Read the release posts to know what shipped and when; read the notes when you need to bend an iOS or Linux behavior to your own use.
