Smart folder icons for your Mac

With Tintd, you can easily customize multiple Mac folder icons at once. Simply select multiple folders and change their icons simultaneously in just a few clicks - no need to change them one by one manually. This bulk folder icon customization feature saves you significant time when organizing your Mac.

Yes, it's completely safe to change folder colors on your Mac. Modifying folder icons with Tintd is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect any files or subfolders inside. Your folder contents remain exactly the same - only the visual appearance changes.

Restoring default Mac folder icons is simple with Tintd. You can revert any customized folder back to the original macOS Finder folder icon with just one click. This makes it easy to undo any folder icon customizations whenever needed.

Custom Mac folder icons are stored locally on each device. While your files sync through iCloud Drive or other cloud storage services, folder icon customizations need to be set up separately on each Mac. Tintd makes it quick and easy to recreate your folder icon system across multiple Macs.

Using Tintd to add custom colored icons to Mac folders is an excellent visual organization method. You can color-code folders by project, priority, or category to create an intuitive system. For example, use red icons for urgent items, blue for client work, and green for completed projects.

To use an emoji as a folder icon, simply select the emoji from the emoji library in the app. Then, drag and drop the emoji onto the folder you want to customize. The emoji will automatically become the folder icon.

No. All icon and color suggestions run locally on your Mac. Your folder names never leave your device, and Tintd doesn't call any AI service.

Yes. Tintd's Smart Icon feature matches a folder's name against its library of more than 11,000 icons and emojis and picks one that fits — a camera for "Photos", a music note for "Music", and so on. Instead of browsing for an icon yourself, you can let Tintd assign a meaningful one, which makes it fast to give icons to a large number of folders.

Turn on Tintd's Folder Watcher for the locations you choose. It then detects every new folder you create there and automatically gives it a matching color and icon based on its name, so folders are styled the moment they appear in Finder. The watcher needs Full Disk Access, which macOS prompts you to grant the first time you enable it.

Tintd's Smart Color and Smart Icon features look at the colors and icons you've already given neighboring folders, then choose a color that fills a gap on the color wheel and an icon that suits the folder's name. The result stays consistent with the folders around it instead of looking random.

Yes. You can select many folders and apply a color and icon to all of them in one action, or let Smart Icon give each folder its own fitting icon at the same time. This makes organizing a folder full of subfolders quick, rather than something you do one by one.

The automatic Folder Watcher needs Full Disk Access so it can see new folders as they're created. macOS prompts you to grant it the first time you enable the feature, and you can turn it off again at any time in System Settings. Colorizing folders manually doesn't require this permission.
