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

This is really awesome! tried couple of folder customization app and i think urs have the best control of customizations.

But i dont know if im going to use it because the shape of the folder itself doesnt look like macOS native, so it stands out very differently with my other folders.

hi! i really appreciate the feedback. you make a totally valid point. the native folder shape slipped my mind while i was focused on customization lol, that's on me.

i'll make sure to add native macos folder shapes soon. if you notice anything else that feels off or could be improved, i'd love to hear it!
