Iconly

Curated inspiration library of real app icons

Product Overview

Iconly is a curated inspiration library collecting the icons of real apps, games, and web apps — more than 2,400 of them, from household names like Instagram, PayPal, and Nike Run Club to award winners like Headspace and Tiimo. Instead of generic icon sets, it indexes the icons that actual products ship, making it a reference for how successful teams solve app icon design. The library filters along three axes: type (Apps, Games, Web Apps), category (around 18 groups spanning Finance, Productivity, Health & Fitness, Social Networking, Entertainment, Business, Shopping, and Travel), and color (11 swatches from black and white through the full hue wheel). Keyword search, a most-popular ranking, and an awards layer that flags Apple Design Award and App Store Award winners help surface standout work, and icons can be saved into collections for later reference. Light, dark, and auto themes keep browsing comfortable. Browsing the first 30 icons is free. Iconly Pro at $39/year unlocks the entire library with unlimited saves and collections, category, style, and color filtering, and new icons added every week. All icons remain the property of their respective owners and are shown for editorial and educational purposes.
