Its official README describes pixel-perfect macOS folder icon generation, including support for macOS 26 Tahoe, icon sizes from 16x16 through 512x512@2x, and light or dark color schemes. ### Project history The project focuses on automating a visual workflow that macOS users often perform manually: making folder icons that match the system folder style. The README notes that version 3 dropped support for older OS X and macOS 10 folder styles and directs users needing Leopard through Catalina styles to folderify v2. ### Adoption history The supplied package metadata lists Homebrew and MacPorts packages. The official README recommends Homebrew installation and notes that Homebrew automatically installs shell completions, while also documenting Rust/Cargo and source installation. ### How it is used Users pass a PNG mask and optionally a target folder. folderify can apply the icon to a target, generate `.icns` and `.iconset` outputs, reveal results in Finder, choose light or dark mode, and generate shell completions for Bash, Elvish, Fish, PowerShell, and Zsh. ### Why package nerds care folderify is package-nerd-interesting because it turns a macOS Finder customization task into a reproducible CLI with native shell completions and package-manager installation. It also bridges Rust packaging with macOS-specific tools such as `iconutil`, optional `fileicon`, and image processing through ImageMagick. ### Timeline - Current: Official README recommends Homebrew installation and documents Cargo/source installation. - Current: Official README documents v3 behavior and directs older OS X/macOS 10 styles to folderify v2. - Current: Supplied package metadata lists Homebrew and MacPorts packages. ### Related projects - folderify is related to macOS Finder icons, ImageMagick, `iconutil`, optional `fileicon`, and shell-completion ecosystems for Bash, Elvish, Fish, PowerShell, and Zsh. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** folderify - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** macos - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - MacPorts - folderify: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/folderify/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [imagemagick](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/imagemagick/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [iconsur](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/iconsur/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, icons, macos, media. - [icoutils](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/icoutils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, icons, media. - [resvg](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/resvg/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media, rust. - [aalib](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/aalib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [alembic](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/alembic/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [ansilove](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ansilove/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [batik](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/batik/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [coin3d](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/coin3d/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [t-rec](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/t-rec/) - Both packages touch the same language runtime or ecosystem.
