App Icon Fetcher

Search for any app by name, preview its icon and save it as a PNG, or upload it straight to Jamf Pro for Self Service. Doesn't change Jamf Pro unless you click ⬆️ Upload to Jamf.

Use it when you need an icon for a Self Service policy and don't have the app installed on your Mac. To pull the icon out of an app you do have, use Extract from .app in Icons instead.

How to use it

  1. Type an app name in Search for an app… and click Search.
  2. Results come from two places at once:
    • App Store: up to 25 matching Mac and iOS apps, each with its developer and category.
    • Wikipedia: up to 10 matching articles that have a lead image, useful for apps that aren't in the App Store.
  3. Click a result to preview its icon. App Store icons are fetched at 512 × 512 pixels.
  4. Then choose:
    • Save as PNG: saves <app name>.png wherever you choose.
    • Upload to Jamf: opens Upload Icon to Jamf. Enter your Jamf Pro details and click Upload. When it's done you see Icon uploaded successfully and the icon's URL, with Copy URL.

If nothing matches, you see No results found for "…".

Tips

  • Wikipedia images aren't always app icons. They can be logos, screenshots or photos, so check the preview before you use one.
  • Make sure you're allowed to use an icon in your organisation, especially a Wikipedia image.
  • An uploaded icon is added to Jamf Pro's icon library. Attach it to a policy in Jamf Pro, or use Attach to a Policy… in Icons.

Privacy

Searching sends only the text you type to itunes.apple.com and en.wikipedia.org. Icons are then downloaded from Apple's and Wikimedia's image servers. No Jamf data or credentials are sent to them.

Permissions: none to search and save. To upload, the same icon upload access as Icons.
