Iconjar is definitely one of the most valuable and time-saving apps in a designer's workflow. Also, the team offers great support and they are open for feature requests. If you haven't already, you should try Iconjar!
Really nice, I always have a hard time finding the right icon. Quick question: are the icons moved somewhere or do I need to keep them where they are for the app or work?
Maker
Good question! Iconjar has its own database which means you can "safely" remove the original files. I wrote "safely" because Iconjar is, in theory, still a beta so I'd keep the original files just in case :)
Awesome product! Can you tell something about future features?
Maker
We recently added the ability to import icon fonts. And to streamline that even more in the future we're going to allow people to map icon fonts in order to get proper labels for each icon.
Once you've set it up it saves you a ton of time. Great tool with so much love to detail.
Maker
thanks, Dan!
Saw Iconjar when . Before all my icons were trapped in different folders, but now I am finally able to organize my icons logically!
Maker
sounds like we're on the right path! Do you have any tips on making it even better?
even if you don't make any changes, I'll still be a happy camper. Here are some thoughts though: * opening icons from Iconjar in Sketch, Illustrator, etc. * show a larger preview of selected icon in the far right pane (under the naming controls) * you could also promote icons sets in the app (in-app purchases FTW) * selecting icons and Check out for some ideas too!

Thanks for taking the time to write down some ideas! The larger preview is on our to-do list actually. We originally wanted to use Quicklook but it didn't perform very nice so we're going to come up with something custom
sweet! Looking forward to what you come up with.
Been using for a week and totally in love.

Awesome!
Dude, cool you're also launching today! you'll dig this I think!
Maker
Your product looks really good, man!

Iconjar is a lightweight app that fits right in your workflow because it makes it super easy to search, organise and use your favourite icons.
I'm a bit confused. Are icons copied into Iconjar or referenced to the original folder?
IconJar is a great Application, was waiting for something like this for so long! We just finished packaging all of 8500 icons in Jars and getting ready to deploy this update for our users, Thank you IconJar team!
I love what they're doing with this, but since most icon sets are published as SVG these days, Iconjar must compete with the free-but-capable SVGsus:
