Why this exists

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 tells people the app is finished, considered and worth opening, before they've read a single word. That's the gap I close, fast.

What I make

One custom app icon per order, for Apple platforms only. That focus is on purpose: it's where I can deliver the most polished, native result. I don't make Android or web icons.

Each order gets one polished design rather than several rough options, plus one round of revisions. You get an Xcode-ready icon package, SVG and PNG source files, a 1024px marketing PNG, previews of the light, dark, clear and tinted looks, install notes and a prompt an AI coding agent can use to install the icon for you. Once it's paid and delivered, the icon is yours, App Store included.

How the work happens

You fill in one short form: pick a package, write a few honest sentences about your app and attach anything you already have. You pay on a secure checkout run by Polar. Then you get a private order page, no login needed, where you can follow the countdown and message me.

AI is one tool in my process. It helps with the first 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 ready for Xcode. The taste and the finishing are mine.

Why it's fast

An Icon Refresh arrives within 48 hours of a complete brief, a New Icon within 72. I only take a few icon slots at a time, so those timelines are real, not aspirational. When every slot is taken, you can join the waitlist and get first access when one opens.
