About:
Folderify is a command-line tool that generates high-fidelity macOS folder icons from any image or color. It works by creating precise pixel masks to replicate the native aesthetic of system folders, ensuring perfect integration with the macOS Finder. This allows developers and designers to create custom, branded folder icons that match the OS visual style.
Key Features:
  • Generates pixel-perfect macOS folder icons from images or colors
  • Supports both light and dark mode appearances
  • Command-line interface for easy automation and scripting
  • Outputs standard .icns files compatible with macOS
Use Cases:
  • Customizing project directories with unique icons for quick visual identification
  • Branding internal tools or applications with consistent iconography
  • Creating themed folders for personal organization or client work
Alternatives:
  • Iconset – A macOS app for manually creating icon sets, whereas Folderify is CLI-driven and automated.
  • sips – A built-in macOS tool for image manipulation, but it cannot generate the specific folder-style masks.
