Badgeify Update: Use Your Own Icons to Customize Your macOS Menu Bar
Transform your Mac's menu bar with Badgeify: customize icons, display real-time notifications, and enhance your productivity effortlessly.
Exciting news for Mac users who love to personalize their workspace! Badgeify has just rolled out a game-changing update that allows you to customize your macOS menu bar like never before. Now you can use your own icons to represent your favorite apps in the menu bar, giving your Mac a unique and personalized touch.
Key Features of the Update
1. Add Custom SVG Icons
With this update, Badgeify now supports adding custom SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) icons for your menu bar applications. This feature opens up a world of possibilities for personalizing your Mac’s interface:
- Use Your Own Designs: Create and use your own SVG icons that perfectly match your style.
- High-Quality Display: SVG format ensures your icons look crisp and clear at any size.
- Flexibility: Easily swap out icons whenever you want a fresh look.
2. Intelligent Icon Adaptation
Badgeify doesn’t just stop at allowing custom icons. It goes a step further by intelligently adapting your icons to the macOS environment:
- Automatic Template Icon Conversion: For monochrome SVG icons, Badgeify automatically applies the macOS template icon feature. This means your icons will adapt to different menu bar background colors, ensuring they’re always visible whether you’re using light mode, dark mode, or any custom theme.
- Preservation of Multicolor Designs: If you add a multicolor SVG icon, Badgeify keeps it as is, allowing your vibrant designs to stand out in the menu bar.
How It Works
- Create or Choose Your SVG Icon: Design your own or select an existing SVG icon for the app you want to customize in the menu bar.
If you’re looking for ready-made SVG icons, here are some great free resources

Why This Matters

- Accessibility: Design icons that are easier for you to see and distinguish.
