What you get

You can tell your folders apart without styling each one yourself.

You get folders that are easier to recognize by sight, with icons and colors chosen from their names. An invoices folder can receive an invoice symbol, while a music folder gets a musical note. With Folder Watcher enabled, you can give new folders matching styles as you create them, rather than returning later to customize each one.

You can also update existing folders from Finder’s right-click menu or style dozens together. Give a group the same icon, vary their colors, or let each folder receive its own name-based match. When you want a specific look, you can choose from over 11,000 icons and emojis, import an image, and adjust overlays. Your previous icon designs remain available for reuse.

You keep the process on your Mac: name matching and styling work offline, without cloud processing or AI services. Folder-name matching supports 11 languages, including names in different languages within the same folder.

From the developer

Your Mac folders all look the same, and organizing them with custom icons one by one is a chore. Tintd fixes that by automatically assigning icons and colors based on folder names. Create a folder called "Invoices" and it gets an invoice icon. "Vacation 2026" gets a palm tree.
