Badgeify allows you to personalize your macOS menu bar by using your own custom icons for the apps you add.

​
Adding Custom SVG Icons

You can replace the default app icons displayed by Badgeify in the menu bar with your own designs using the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format.

​
Key Features

  • Use Your Own Designs: Upload SVG icons you’ve created or downloaded.
  • High-Quality Display: SVGs ensure your icons look sharp at any resolution.
  • Flexibility: Easily change icons whenever you want a new look.

​
Intelligent Icon Adaptation

Badgeify intelligently handles your custom icons:

  • Monochrome Icons: If you upload a single-color SVG icon, Badgeify automatically converts it into a macOS template icon. This means the icon will adapt to light mode, dark mode, and different menu bar background colors, ensuring visibility.
  • Multicolor Icons: If your SVG icon uses multiple colors, Badgeify preserves the original design, allowing vibrant icons to stand out in the menu bar.

​
How to Add a Custom Icon

  1. Get an SVG Icon: Create your own SVG icon or download one. Ensure it’s in the SVG format.
  2. Select the App in Badgeify: Open Badgeify’s preferences and select the app whose icon you want to change.
  3. Upload the Icon: Look for the option to add a custom icon and upload your .svg file.
  4. See the Change: Your custom icon will immediately appear in the menu bar.
