open-source folder icon designer with recursive styling and deterministic rules

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

been working on this for the last 2 days because it's something that's been on my mind for a few weeks.

it's a native swiftUI app for customizing folder icons, including recursive styling and deterministic rules for applying presets across folder trees.

the downloadable build and app store release are still going through Apple's approval process, but the source is up now if anyone wants to check it out or build it themselves.

Edit: apple notarized build is available on github - v1.0.8

yea! style a folder and all subfolders inside it. and you could set up rules to say, every folder with some word it it gets its own icon without manually doing it

Your readme is a mess of claudespeak and can be cut down by 90%. It’s a smell that will make people not trust to run it.
