Physwitch is a new tweak for jailbroken iPhones that enhances the way in which we multitask within iOS by allowing us to switch between our applications using our device’s volume buttons.

Once activated Physwitch is a great way of multitasking on the iPhone, and looks much more sophisticated than the traditional iOS method of switching between applications. Instead of swiping through a collection of icons in the multitasking tray, you can cycle through each application with a real-time preview of what’s happening in each app.

You can customize how you want Physwitch to function and you won’t necessarily lose the ability to control your device’s volume with the buttons as well. For example, you can set Physwitch to activate when both buttons are pressed simultaneously, and until then they will continue to function as volume buttons.

Check out the video above and see Physwitch in action. I think you’ll agree that it looks pretty impressive.

Physwitch is available to download now from the BigBoss repo within Cydia, and it’s a paid tweak at $1.99.
