The latest update for IconJar v1 can be downloaded from here:

Some apps like Keynote and Photoshop don't play nice with SVGs right off the bat. When you try to drop an SVG from Iconjar into these apps, you might see an error pop up. No need to worry, though! You can use our Quickdrag feature, which lets you drag and drop icons in any file format you want. Most apps that don't like SVGs work pretty well with PDF files, so we recommend going for that option. PDFs are scalable and come with almost the same perks as SVGs.

We offer a 20% discount on IconJar for the first year. Discounts for .edu email addresses are automatically calculated and applied during checkout.

If you have a different email address but require a discount for educational purposes you can send us an email with a copy of your student ID.

Sometimes you want the search form to search through your complete icon library. However, there are plenty of usecases I which you want the search form to respect the scope you've selected in the left sidebar. Changing the scope of the search form is extremely easy and is found when you select the input field and click on the little search icon that transitions to the left.

IconJar doesn't support the ability to use your library on multiple Macs natively. We also don't recommend using a service like iCloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive to upload your library to the cloud because they may break your library due to sync conflicts*. However, there's a viable workaround!

* The library will only break when the IconJar library is synced from both machines simultaneously.

Using Git as a workaround

The best way to use the same library on multiple Macs is Git, for example through GitHub or Bitbucket. It allows you to push updates manually, and get your library in sync on other Macs by pulling the changes from Git. As a bonus; it gives you versioning for free!

We recommend using apps like Tower (paid) or Sourcetree (free) since they make it significantly more straightforward (and less scary) to use Git. Here's how to pull / push with Tower, and this is how it works in Sourcetree.

Add support for Git to your existing library:

Note: To complete these steps you'll need a remote repository.

Step 1: Locate the library on your Mac
Open IconJar's preferences → Library → double click the Library breadcrumb. This should open a Finder tab of where your library is stored.

Step 2: Navigate to the library with your Mac's
Type cd and drag and drop your library onto the Terminal window. You should see something like this after you hit return:

Step 3: Initialise Git and make your first commit
Paste the following in your terminal:

Step 4: Configure the remote repository
Paste the following in your terminal and make sure to check the user- and repository names:

Step 5: Push your library to the repository
Paste the following in your terminal and you're done. Make sure to check the branch your GitHub repository is using. In some cases your branch will be called main, but in others it's master.

We understand that you might encounter activation limits for IconJar, which are capped at two per license.

For IconJar 2 licenses:

Whether you have a lifetime license or an annual subscription, you can contact us and provide the following details:

• The email address you used when purchasing your license.
• The license key

Please note that subscription licenses are reset by our vendor, while lifetime licenses are reset by our team. Resetting subscription licenses through our vendor may take a bit more time, and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

For IconJar 1 licenses:

You can reset your license for IconJar v1 on this webpage.

Feel free to cancel your IconJar subscription for any reason. You can cancel it by reaching out to us or simply replying to the order confirmation email you received during the sign-up process.

Your access to IconJar will remain active until the subscription's expiration date after cancellation.

You might find yourself switching to a new Mac or accidentally deleting your IconJar order confirmation email while tidying up your inbox. It's a common occurrence, and there's no need to fret. Just drop us an email and we'll gladly assist you in retrieving your license.

The first thing we recommend doing is to download the latest version of IconJar. It is possible that IconJar can't launch due to an issue with a specific version of macOS which means it will never trigger the update dialogue.

If that doesn't work and you still get a crash, it might be due to malformed/conflicting preferences. Open up Terminal and type the following command: defaults delete com.iconjar.iconjar.

Then hit return, this will remove any preferences you have set and revert back to IconJar's defaults. Then you can launch IconJar again.

A third, and last possibility, would be that your library got broken. To be sure, backup the following direction;~/library/Application Support/Iconjar. Delete the directory and start the app again. You'll notice that your icons are gone, therefore we always recommend people to keep a backup of their icons somewhere.

If neither of these work, please reach out to us for additional support.

We often receive questions from people who want to generate .IconJar files on their website. As per request, we wrote a PHP library that does just that and you can find it on GitHub. The index.php contains an example that should get you up and running in no-time.

Since this library is open-source we highly appreciate it if you contribute by creating pull requests or issues.
