What is Moodsk?
Moodsk is a macOS app for creating and changing file and folder icons. It works with your images, SF Symbols, text and emoji, and supports macOS 14 or later. Use it to give project folders a clear visual identity or make a set of icons with matching labels and colours.
Choose a built-in icon when you want a quick change. Use the layer editor when you need to combine an image, a symbol and a text label. Preview the design before applying it to your selected files or folders; batch actions let you reuse one design across multiple items.
Built-in free colour icons can be applied directly. Editor output requires Editor Pro, and paid icon packs are separate purchases. Changing an icon changes its appearance, without moving or renaming the item. You can restore the default icon later through Moodsk or its Finder extension.
Icon rendering and application happen on your Mac without uploading your files or designs. Apple services handle purchases. For the built-in Finder workflow and practical examples, follow the guides below.

LAYER-BASED EDITOR

Layer images, symbols and text freely. Font families and weights, automatic sizing, outlines and effects — every detail is yours to decide.

- Automatic sizingText adapts to its container, so titles and monograms always fit.
- Undo / redoBoth edits and layer order can be reverted, so experiment freely.
- Sharp exportIcons render at 4×, staying crisp in Finder and on the desktop.
