Built for indie apps, prototypes, launches, and App Store refreshes. - macOS - iOS - iPadOS - watchOS Why this exists ## The icon is the first thing that looks real. Anyone can build an app now. A weekend, a prototype, an AI tool — and suddenly you have something that runs. But a placeholder icon makes even good work look unfinished, and it's the first thing people see on the Home Screen, the App Store, and your launch post. A real icon changes that. It tells people the app is finished, considered, and worth opening — before they've read a single word. That's the gap this service closes, fast. What you get ## One tidy download. Everything inside. Not just an image. A small kit with every file your app needs, named properly and ready to drop in. ### Looks right in every mode iPhones and Macs show icons in light, dark, clear and tinted. Yours is tuned for each one, so it never looks off on anyone's Home Screen. ### Drag it into Xcode. Done. One .icon file goes into your project. Xcode makes every size from it, so there's no exporting thirty variants by hand. ### A big, sharp PNG 1024 by 1024 pixels, crisp up close. For the App Store, your website and press kits. ### The source files Clean vector and image sources. Edit them yourself or hand them to any future designer. ### A prompt for your AI agent Paste it into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and your agent installs the icon in your project for you. How it works ## Here's exactly what happens. No account. No calls. No design jargon. Four little steps, and your app has a real icon. 1. ### Tell me about your app Fill in one short form — about three minutes. Pick a package, write a few honest sentences about your app, and attach anything you already have: a logo, a sketch, even a photo of a napkin doodle. 2. ### Pay on a secure page You're taken straight to a secure checkout — pay by card like in any online shop, and the receipt lands in your email. Change your mind before I start? Every cent comes back, automatically. 3. ### Watch it happen on your private page The moment you order, you get your own page — a private link, no login needed. It shows a live countdown of the 48 hours, and you can message me there any time, like texting. 4. ### Unwrap your icon Within 48 hours your icon arrives on that same page, wrapped as a little gift. Tap to unwrap it, then download everything — App Store-ready files, previews, and a ready-made prompt so Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor can install it for you. One round of tweaks included, free.

A totally different concept or a changed brief is a new order. - **Cancel before I start, full refund.** Change your mind before production begins and you’re refunded in full, no questions. - **After production starts.** Once I begin, refunds aren’t normally offered — unless I don’t deliver what’s listed or clearly ignore your brief. FAQ ## What you might ask. **How many concepts are included?** One. I focus on a single polished design rather than spreading effort across rough options. It comes with one round of revisions to refine it, so you end up with one icon done properly instead of several done halfway. **What counts as a revision?** A revision is an adjustment to the icon I delivered — color, detail, weight, framing, that kind of refinement. I gather your notes and apply them in one round. Asking for a completely different concept, or changing the brief after we start, is a new order rather than a revision. **What files do I receive?** An Xcode-ready icon package that drops straight into your project, SVG and PNG source files, a 1024px marketing PNG, previews of the light, dark, clear, and tinted looks, install notes, and a ready-made prompt so an AI coding agent can install the icon for you. Everything you need to ship and to promote the app. **Can you make an icon from just an idea?** Yes — that's the $199 New Icon package. Tell me what your app does and the feeling you're after, and I'll design an original concept from your brief. If you already have a logo, sketch, or clear concept, the $99 Icon Refresh is the better fit. **What if I hate it?** That's what the revision is for — tell me what's off and I'll fix it. If you cancel before I start production, you get a full refund. After that, refunds aren't normally offered unless I don't deliver what's listed or clearly ignore your brief. **Do you make Android or web icons?** The focus is Apple platforms — Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch — because that's where I can deliver the most polished, native result. The SVG/PNG source files you receive can often be adapted for other uses, but Android and web icons aren't part of the package. **Do you use AI?** Yes, as one tool in the process. AI helps generate initial imagery, then the work goes through vector cleanup in Figma and final assembly in Apple's Icon Composer so the result is sharp, native, and Xcode-ready. The taste and the finishing are mine. **How fast is delivery really?** 48 hours for an Icon Refresh and 72 hours for a New Icon, counted from when your brief is complete. I keep capacity limited on purpose so these timelines are real, not aspirational. Need it even faster? A 24-hour rush is available for +$50 when there's room. **I built my app with AI and it still has a placeholder icon. Can you help?** Yes, that's exactly who this is for. Whether you built it with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Lovable or anything else, tell me what the app does and I'll make a real icon for it. If you have nothing to start from, pick the $199 New Icon. If you have a rough logo or an idea of the look, the $99 Icon Refresh is enough. **My AI-generated icon looks blurry or off. Can you fix it?** Yes. Send it as your starting point with the $99 Icon Refresh. I keep the idea, then redraw it as clean vectors and rebuild it in Apple's Icon Composer, so it's sharp at every size and looks at home next to Apple's own icons. **Can you turn my logo into an app icon?** Yes. A logo usually needs reshaping to work as an app icon: simpler shapes, a bolder mark and the right spacing inside the rounded square. That's the $99 Icon Refresh, delivered in 48 hours. **Will my icon work with the iOS 26 Liquid Glass look, dark mode and tinted icons?** Yes. I build every icon in Icon Composer, Apple's tool for the Liquid Glass icons that came with iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe. It's set up for the light, dark, clear and tinted looks, and you get a preview of each before you ship. **Do you make icons for Mac, iPad and Apple Watch apps?** Yes. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch are all covered. Tell me in your brief which ones your app runs on and I design for those. **I don't really know Xcode. How do I install the icon?** You don't need to. The package comes with short install notes and a ready-made prompt you paste into your AI coding agent, like Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, and it adds the icon to your project for you. If you'd rather do it by hand, it's one file you drag into Xcode. **What size does an app icon need to be?** Apple designs iPhone, iPad and Mac icons on a 1024 by 1024 pixel canvas, and Apple Watch icons on 1088 by 1088. With current Xcode you add one Icon Composer file and the system makes every size from it, so you don't export a pile of sizes by hand. My package includes that file and a 1024px PNG for the App Store and your website. Ready when you are ## Give your app an icon that looks ready to ship. One polished direction, delivered in 48 hours and ready for Xcode and the App Store. From $99. [Join the waitlist](https://48hicons.com/#waitlist)
