iOS Minimal Icons

An icon pack to simplify your device and minimise distractions, with an understated and rounded design aesthetic for the most popular apps     

With the latest iOS 14 software, it is now possible to apply custom icons to your iPhone! The same way you might customise with a case on the outside! The pack comes with 4x themes, Black, White, Charcoal (+Mint) and Blossom (+Pink). Feel free to share your custom layouts with me on Instagram! @rousoudesign

77 custom icons are included, although I would recommend keeping all unessential apps off your home screen for a sleeker look. There will be updates to the pack for free, as I'll be adding more popular and requested apps.

There is a process to apply each icon individually, and it may take some time to design your layout, but is simply repetition once you've applied one. Here's a quick 90-second how-to to get you started:

The process is as follows: Open 'Shortcuts', tap (+), tap Add Action > Scripting > Open App, tap 'choose', select desired app, tap '...' (Top of Screen), Tap 'Add to Home Screen', tap the thumbnail and search this pack for the corresponding icon with the theme of your choosing from Files! Finally, name and tap 'Add', or leave blank for a cleaner look!

Also check out 'Widgetsmith' on the App Store for minimal/ customisable widgets and 'Yidget' for transparent widgets:

There will be a shortcuts banner notification when you open each app with a customised icon, here's a video walkthrough of preventing this:
