Last updated: July 27, 2026 — this is a developing story, we’ll keep it current as OwnGoal Studio shares more.
The Relaxin jailbreak for iOS 17 is real, currently in closed beta, and headed for a public release in the coming weeks. Here’s everything confirmed so far, straight from the developers, plus a timeline we’ll keep updating as things move.
What is the Relaxin jailbreak?
Relaxin is an upcoming iOS 17 jailbreak from OwnGoal Studio, led by developer Lakr233 and built with a small team that includes recognizable names from the jailbreak scene. It started life closely tied to the naming of “Dopamine” — a separate, already-existing jailbreak by developer opa334 — before opa334 asked the team to pick a different name to avoid confusion between the two projects. Relaxin is the result: a distinct project, not a version or fork of Dopamine.
Relaxin jailbreak for iOS 17 — timeline so far
- Planning and naming confirmed: OwnGoal Studio announces the first beta is being planned, and confirms the tool will be renamed away from any “Dopamine” association at opa334’s request.
- Closed beta opens (current stage): Relaxin enters closed beta. Access is limited to testers who qualify and contact the team directly — there is no public download yet.
- Public release — expected August 8, 2026: OwnGoal Studio’s current estimate for a wider release. Treat this as an estimate, not a locked date, until it’s confirmed closer to the day.
- Source code release — expected late August 2026: The team has said they plan to open-source Relaxin shortly after the public release.

We’ll add new entries to this timeline as soon as OwnGoal Studio shares updates — bookmark this page if you’re tracking the release.
Which devices and iOS versions will it support?
As of the closed beta, Relaxin targets iOS 17.0 through 17.3.1, and is currently limited to a newer generation of chips (the team has described it as restricted to devices with a specific security component, rather than working across all iOS 17-capable hardware). The exact device list hasn’t been published yet, and the team has mentioned plans to extend support after the initial release. We’ll update this section with the confirmed device list once it’s public — don’t assume your specific iPhone is covered until then.
Is Relaxin available to download right now?
No. Relaxin is in closed beta only, and access is limited to qualified testers who contact the development team directly. There is no public download link, and there won’t be one until the team’s official release.
Worth being genuinely careful about here: any time a jailbreak tool starts generating buzz before its real public release, fake “downloads” and lookalike sites tend to show up trying to capitalize on the name. Don’t download anything claiming to be Relaxin from a random site, forum post, or unofficial link before the official release — that’s exactly the gap scams use.
Should you wait for the public release?
Yes. Unless you already have direct contact with the OwnGoal Studio team and qualify for closed beta access, the safest path is waiting for the official public release rather than chasing early access through unofficial channels. A few weeks’ wait is a small price for not installing something unverified on your device.
A quick note on jailbreaking risk
Jailbreaking is legal for personal use, but it isn’t risk-free: it can void your warranty, weakens some of iOS’s built-in security protections, and can occasionally cause instability until a jailbreak matures past its early releases. If you’re not comfortable troubleshooting your device yourself, it’s worth sitting out the first beta releases and waiting until a tool like Relaxin has been out and stable for a while.
The short version
- Relaxin is a real, upcoming iOS 17 jailbreak from OwnGoal Studio — not a fork of Dopamine, just renamed to avoid a naming conflict with it
- Currently in closed beta only — no public download exists yet
- Public release estimated August 8, 2026; source code expected to follow in late August
- Supports iOS 17.0–17.3.1 on newer-chip devices only, for now — full device list not yet confirmed
- Avoid any “Relaxin” download that isn’t from the official team — nothing legitimate is publicly available yet
We’ll keep this post updated with the confirmed device list, the final release date, and a follow-up once the public release is out — check back here rather than downloading anything claiming to be Relaxin from elsewhere in the meantime.
