HOW TO
Customize Your Icons
Ever wish you could swap the icons of your go-to apps for something just a bit more...you? Hundreds of apps let you do just that! To pick a new icon, go to the app’s settings menu and tap App Icon. Here are a few favorites.
Carrot Weather
This is hands down the funniest way to get your local forecast. (“Worst. Clouds. Ever.” or “It’s nice out. A little *too* nice out.”) Not surprisingly, Carrot offers a range of hilariously named custom icons, including Purple Rain and the very colorful Unicorn Barf.
Fantastical
This elegant calendar and task manager helps you quickly organize your sea of appointments and to-dos—so you never blank on a meeting, lunch, or yoga session again. Pick an icon tailored for Dark Mode, or one with a soothing smiley face or old-school 8-bit vibe.
Streaks Workout
Looking for a fitness app that provides maximum motivation? (Every little bit counts.) Streaks Workout lets you choose one of six exercises—including push-ups, squats, and crunches—to appear as its icon along with a selection of invigorating background colors.
Todoist
Todoist is a lightning-fast task manager that makes entering even the most complex to-dos unusually easy. Just type it as you’d say it: “Call dentist next week” (no need to fill out any fields). Customizable app icons come in a range of fun colors.
Grocery
Grocery is smarter than your typical shopping list app. It seriously speeds up your store runs by sorting all your list items in the order you grab them off the shelves. There are over 40 super-playful icons to choose from (including one we especially love!).
