New features, improvements, and fixes — newest first.

← Back to yIcon
  1. v3.2.6

    Room to breathe

    Improved

    A set's icons all fit in the detail view

    The row under a set used to stop at six. It scrolls sideways now, with every icon in it, and nothing drawn behind them.

    Improved

    Icons without a plate

    Glass styles no longer sit on a blurred colour square in the grid, the detail view or the Studio. Every icon stands on the page itself.

    Improved

    The Studio on a phone or tablet

    The toolbar wraps instead of spilling off the edge, the glyph library keeps one density at any width, and the stage stays within a swipe.

    Improved

    Switching sections in the drawer

    The dropdown is gone; References, Styles and Sets sit in one row at the top of the drawer, the current one marked.

  2. v3.2.5

    Sets save again

    Fixed

    Saving a set on a built-in style works

    Every save on one of the twenty built-in styles failed, however many icons you picked. It goes through now.

    Fixed

    Errors say something you can read

    A failed save used to show the raw database statement in the toast. It shows one plain sentence now, and the details stay in our logs.

  3. v3.2.4

    A readable sidebar

    Fixed

    The sidebar stays legible over the grid

    On narrower screens the filter rail floats over your icons; their colours used to bleed through the glass and wash out the labels. It is solid enough to read now.

  4. v3.2.3

    Sign-in unstuck

    Fixed

    Signing in takes you where you were going

    Since 3.2.0, opening Sets or the Studio while signed in bounced between the page and the login screen. It goes straight through now.

  5. v3.2.1

    Tidier shelves

    Fixed

    Every icon is the same size

    Drawn icons used to sit small inside their card while AI ones filled it. They match now, and a set's cover shows four icons again instead of one.

    Improved

    Icons stand on their own

    No more grey plate behind a circle or a speech bubble. Only glass styles keep a backdrop, and it follows the icon's shape.

    Improved

    One colour for selection

    The blue outline on a chosen subject or style is gone; selection uses the same charcoal as the rest of the interface.

    Improved

    Details fit your screen

    The icon and the row of variations under it both fit without scrolling on a laptop, and the close button sits in the corner.

  6. v3.2.0

    Settled in

    A real address, a calmer Studio, and credit where it is due.

    New

    icon.catforest.dev

    yIcon has a public home. Links, previews and bookmarks all point there now.

    Improved

    One way to say “selected”

    Every switch in the Studio uses the same charcoal pill; the toolbar lines up with the three panels; backdrop and zoom sit on the canvas where they belong; SVG, PNG and platform packs share one Export menu.

    Improved

    Softer ink

    Buttons, sliders and active states use a cool charcoal instead of pure black, with a hairline highlight.

    New

    Solar is credited

    Exports that use a Solar glyph include the CC BY 4.0 attribution as a text file, and the site footer names the set.

    Fixed

    Sign-in stays put

    Signing into another app on the same machine no longer logs you out of yIcon. You will need to sign in once more after this update.

  7. v3.1.0

    A front door

    yIcon now has a landing page that shows what it does by doing it — every icon on it is drawn live from a recipe.

    New

    Landing page

    Six glyphs cycle through ten styles in the hero, a matrix shows a set following a style change, and the AI section prints the exact prompt a recipe becomes. Signed in, you skip it and land in References.

    Improved

    References has its own address

    The catalogue lives at /references now, beside /styles and /sets. Links to the old home still work.

    Fixed

    One selection colour in the Studio

    The chosen style tile matches the blue ring used for subjects and set tiles.

  8. v3.0.0

    Icon sets from one style

    The style is the thing you edit now. Read one out of a real app icon, tune it, stamp it across a set of subjects — and export it exact, or let AI finish it.

    New

    A new home

    One grid, three collections: References, Styles and Sets, switched from the toolbar. Bookmarks to the old catalog and library pages now land here.

    New

    Studio

    Pick subjects from 1,300+ glyphs or paste an SVG, choose a style, and see the whole set redraw as you tune background, material and glyph.

    New

    Read a style out of any reference

    Open a reference and its colours and silhouette are read off the pixels on the spot. Send it to the Studio with a ghost overlay to match against, or ask AI for the full recipe.

    New

    AI refine

    Hand a vector draft to the image model with the recipe spelled out exactly, pick how faithful it should stay, and compare draft and result side by side.

    New

    Export packs

    PNG, SVG, iOS, macOS, Android and favicon sets in one ZIP, rendered in your browser at every size.

    Improved

    Your existing batches are Sets

    Everything you generated before shows up under Sets, untouched.

  9. v2.0.1

    Small polish

    Fixed

    Browser tabs say where you are

    Every page now names itself in the tab and in bookmarks, instead of all of them reading the same thing.

  10. v2.0.0

    A new home

    yIcon moved to new infrastructure. Most of it you will not notice — but you will need to set your password again.

    Improved

    Set your password once more

    The move to a new sign-in system could not carry passwords across. Your account, your icons and your library are all exactly where you left them — only the password needs setting again.

    Improved

    Icons load without expiring

    Image links used to time out after an hour and quietly refresh in the background. They no longer expire at all, so a tab left open overnight still shows your library.

    Improved

    Faster SVG export

    Vectorizing now happens in your browser instead of on the server, so the download starts as soon as you click rather than after a round trip.

    Fixed

    Sign-in options trimmed

    Magic-link sign-in and password reset are unavailable for now — they need email delivery that is not set up yet. Email and password still work.

  11. v1.1.1

    Faster under the hood

    Improved

    Snappier, lighter app

    A framework upgrade makes yIcon faster to build and lighter to run — no visible changes, just less waiting.

  12. v1.1.0

    See what's new

    yIcon now tells you what changed — you're looking at it. Every release lands here as a curated timeline.

    New

    Changelog page

    A release-by-release timeline of what's new, improved, and fixed, always one click away via the Changelog link in the header.

  13. v1.0.0

    yIcon 1.0 — cohesive AI icon sets

    The first stable release. Start from a real iOS app icon, then generate sibling variants that share the same background, style, and palette.

    New

    AI icon generation

    Describe what you want and let the agent produce it. Pick a reference icon and it generates a matching set that shares one background, style, and palette.

    New

    Icon editor

    Dial in prompts, styles, and parameters, reuse a library icon as a locked seed, and carry settings straight over from anything you've made before.

    New

    Personal library

    Every generation is saved. Favorite the keepers, bulk-select and delete the rest, download any icon as PNG or SVG, and page through your history.

    New

    Reference catalog

    Browse the 60fps.design catalog as your reference shelf, filter by Recent and Favorites, or bring your own icon in by URL or file upload.

    New

    Samples gallery

    A curated set of reference icons to explore the tool with, at /samples.

    New

    Flexible export

    Download as PNG or color-aware SVG (vectorized on the fly), or grab a whole set as a single ZIP.

    New

    Accounts

    Sign up and sign in with email and password, with full password reset.

    Improved

    A more alive home page

    An animated WebGL backdrop sits behind the hero, tuned to keep the text crisp and readable.

    Improved

    New brand identity

    A cat mascot logo, matching favicon, and a dedicated social share banner.
