About:
Iconsur is a command-line utility designed to automatically generate adaptive icons for macOS Big Sur and later. It processes source images to create the required icon set formats, simplifying the workflow for developers and designers. This tool eliminates the manual effort needed to ensure application icons comply with modern macOS visual standards.
Key Features:
  • Automatically generates macOS icon sets from single images
  • Supports adaptive icon layouts introduced in Big Sur
  • Command-line interface for easy scripting and integration
  • Handles image resizing and asset creation
Use Cases:
  • Developers needing to create compliant icons for new macOS applications
  • Updating existing application icons to match Big Sur design guidelines
  • Automating icon generation in CI/CD build pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Icon Composer – Apple's official GUI tool; less suitable for automation compared to Iconsur's CLI approach.
  • sips – Built-in macOS tool for image manipulation; requires complex scripting to replicate Iconsur's specific icon set generation.
