A macOS app that creates standardized PNG app icons with banners for internal distribution, requiring no graphic design skills.
Icons is a macOS application that generates standardized PNG app icons for internal company app stores. It solves the problem of creating consistent, branded icons for software deployment across different environments without requiring graphic design skills. The tool produces a full icon set including install, uninstall, and animated uninstall icons.
Mac administrators and IT teams managing internal app distribution using tools like Jamf Pro or Munki, who need to visually differentiate app versions across development, test, and production environments.
Developers choose Icons because it eliminates the need for graphic design expertise, offers automation via command line, and integrates seamlessly with macOS through Finder extensions and Image Playground, making icon creation fast and consistent.
Icons for macOS is the easiest way to create customized app icons in PNG format for your company’s internal app store. No graphic skills needed.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Users can create icons by simply dragging and dropping images into the app, eliminating the need for graphic design skills, as emphasized in the README's demo.
Command line support enables batch icon generation, allowing integration into automated deployment pipelines for tools like Jamf Pro or Munki.
Includes a Finder extension and Image Playground integration, making it seamless to use within the macOS ecosystem without switching contexts.
Offers highly customizable banners for distinguishing between development, test, and production environments, specifically useful for internal software deployment.
The project is explicitly 'as-is' with no support or changes being made, posing a risk for long-term reliance or bug fixes.
Only generates icons in PNG format, lacking support for other common formats like SVG or ICNS that might be required for broader applications.
Requires macOS 13 or newer, excluding users on older versions and restricting use in environments with legacy systems.
