About:
Asset Catalog Tinkerer is a macOS utility that allows developers to inspect and extract images from compiled Asset Catalog (.car) files. It provides a user-friendly interface to browse the contents of these files, which are typically difficult to access directly. This tool is invaluable for debugging UI assets and recovering resources from compiled applications.
Key Features:
  • Browse and preview images from .car files
  • Export assets to common image formats (PNG, JPEG)
  • Support for both standard and universal asset catalogs
  • Clean, native macOS interface
Use Cases:
  • Debugging asset loading issues in iOS/macOS apps
  • Extracting UI resources from compiled app bundles
Alternatives:
  • carutil – Command-line tool, less user-friendly but scriptable
  • Xcode – Can view assets but not easily extract them from compiled files
