What it does
Replacicon finds and applies replacement application icons on macOS, combining online catalogs with files from disk. Dock filters and hidden results narrow the selection, while automatic reapplication preserves choices after app updates. It is a one-time purchase for Intel or Apple Silicon Macs running Ventura 13 or later.
Filter the installed-app list to the Dock when the aim is a consistent row of frequently used applications. Replacicon brings alternate artwork from online sources into that view and also imports icons from disk. Hide irrelevant apps or results, apply a replacement and restore the original if you change your mind.
The app watches for application updates and automatically reapplies your icon choices. It supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running macOS Ventura 13 or later and is sold for a one-time payment. Version 2 also offers Apple Intelligence and Image Playground as an optional way to generate replacements; local files and catalog artwork remain available routes.
