Sparrow Push is a new tweak by Kim Streich that brings push notifications to the Sparrow Email app for iOS.

After a long anticipation the iPhone application "Sparrow" was released with a disappointing limitation through Apple's restrictions: Users are not notified of new mails if the application is not running. The jailbreak tweak "Sparrow Push" enables this functionality using IMAP idle and makes Sparrow a complete replacement for the stock mail client on the iPhone.

Sparrow Push will also do it's best to restart Sparrow if it is quit or you restart your iPhone.


Planned Features:
- Notification Center integration
- mailto: links integration

You can purchase Sparrow from the App Store for $2.99 and get Sparrow Push from the Big Boss Cydia Repository.
