Themes, effects, and Apple's Liquid Glass — completely reversible. A native menu bar app with 50+ editor adjustments, six built-in themes, and one-click restore.
IconForge scans your Applications folder and shows every app in a fast, searchable grid. Pin your favorites to the top.
Select from six built-in themes or open the editor for 50+ adjustments — blur, hue, posterize, gradients, background removal, and more.
One admin password covers the whole batch. Your originals are backed up automatically, and every change is one click away from being reverted.
One-click transforms — Dark Glass, Light Glass, Tinted Dark, Tinted Light, or keep the Original. Apply to one app or all of them at once.
Blur, hue rotation, posterize, sepia, gradients, vignette, geometry transforms, and more. Full pixel-level control over every icon.
Apple's native Icon Composer effects built in — dark and light material treatments that match macOS perfectly. Real depth, not a filter.
Factory originals are always one click away. Every change is backed up automatically — restore individually or all at once.
Select any number of apps and apply a theme to all of them at once. One admin password prompt covers the whole batch.
Mark any app to auto-swap its icon when macOS flips between light and dark mode. Set it once and forget it.
Browse, search, filter, and pin. See which apps are themed, which are stock, and jump to any one instantly.

Every theme applies instantly and can be reverted just as fast. Mix and match across your apps.
The factory default — restore any app to its stock icon.
Keep the icon as-is — useful as a baseline for editor tweaks.
Apple's Icon Composer with dark material — real depth and translucency.
Apple's Icon Composer with light material — bright, clean, native feel.
Dark backgrounds with tinted glyphs — subtle and cohesive.
Light backgrounds with colored glyphs — clean and minimal.
Drag in any image — your own design, a logo, a photo — and IconForge makes it look native.
50+ adjustments across color, effects, geometry, and more. Every slider is real-time, every change is reversible. Save any configuration as a custom theme to reuse across all your apps.
IconForge
A native SwiftUI menu bar app — tiny, fast, and Apple-silicon-native. No background processes, no phone-home, no data collection.
Yes. IconForge backs up every original icon before replacing it, and every change can be reverted with one click — individually or all at once. Nothing is permanently altered and your apps continue to work exactly as before.
They use Apple's Icon Composer to apply native Liquid Glass material effects to your icons — the same depth, translucency, and light behavior you see in macOS system icons. Dark Glass gives a moody frosted look; Light Glass is bright and clean.
Yes, with one quick setup step. macOS requires "App Management" permission to modify other apps' bundles — IconForge's onboarding walks you through granting it. After that, you can theme any app — creative suites, productivity tools, and everything else.
No. IconForge only runs when you open its menu bar panel. When closed it uses zero CPU and almost no memory. It's Apple-silicon-native, built in SwiftUI, and weighs under 10 MB.
IconForge records the bundle version at backup time and warns you if an app has been updated since your backup was made. You can choose to restore the older backup, or keep your custom theme and update it whenever you want.
Absolutely. Drag any PNG, JPEG, or ICNS file directly onto an app tile and IconForge will use it as the new icon. Perfect for custom artwork, brand assets, or icon packs.
The editor includes chroma-key background removal with edge erosion — great for extracting clean glyphs from existing icons. Pick a target color, adjust the threshold, and the background disappears while preserving fine edges.
