App icons
in a couple of clicks.

Hi!

Usually I build little utilities that make life on macOS easier — anything around the comfort of using a Mac. Mostly I'm scratching my own itches: handy window switching and preview in the Dock (Dock View), a more useful Dock (ActiveDock), finding and switching tabs across every browser at once (Tab Finder).

IconPilot came from the same place — my attempt to tame AI for my own day-to-day. I get ideas for new apps all the time, and every time I'd end up bouncing between ChatGPT and a couple of other tools: generate an icon, tweak a variant, then put together a poster or a screenshot for the App Store. Different tabs, different apps, lost context. I wanted one place: think it up → try it → save the variant → pick it up tomorrow where I left off.

The hard part wasn't really the app itself — it was the infrastructure. Proxying requests to different models so the whole thing actually works for everyone publicly, not just on my machine.

So today I'm showing you IconPilot — an app for generating icons (with posters, App Store screenshots and a lot more on the roadmap). The part I'm most proud of as a developer: native export to Apple's Icon Composer format (.icon) — the layered Liquid Glass one. Regular formats (PNG, ICNS and friends) are there too.

While the app is still in active development and testing, there's a launch bonus: +30% credits on every purchase, plus 100 free credits to play with the moment you open the app.

For the most active users — I'm happy to top up extra credits on request. Just reply to this email.

I'd love your feedback — what worked, what annoyed you, what's missing. That's the most valuable thing at this stage.
