## What is San Fransymbols?

Looking for an easy way to browse and find the perfect symbol for your iOS and Mac app? Look no further than San Fransymbols - the ultimate tool for exploring Apple's massive collection of over 6,000 SF Symbols.

Designed to help developers and designers easily discover and use the perfect icon for any situation, San Fransymbols includes a range of powerful features. These include automatic SwiftUI and UIKit code generation for each symbol and weight, semantic search, and the ability to preview symbols in different colors.

With San Fransymbols, you can also easily compare different weights of each symbol, favorite symbols for quick access later, and create custom groups of symbols that sync seamlessly via iCloud.

But that's not all - San Fransymbols also provides full support for keyboard shortcuts and pointer interactions on iPadOS, making it easier than ever to navigate the app and find the perfect symbol, with drag and drop support for generated code snippets.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting out, San Fransymbols is the perfect tool for discovering and using the power of SF Symbols in your iOS and Mac apps. Try it out today and see the difference for yourself!

San Fransymbols is created to make it easier than ever for you to search for, compare and choose the right symbol from SF Symbols for every situation, with features such as:

+++ SWIFTUI & UIKIT CODE +++
Automatically generate SwiftUI and UIKit code for every symbol and weight. Drag and drop support means you can drop the code right into other apps (such as Swift Playgrounds) on iPad.

+++ PREVIEW ALL ANIMATION TYPES +++
Easily see what each symbol animation looks like, and copy the auto-generated Swift code in a single tap.

+++ SEMANTIC SEARCH +++
San Fransymbols is smart. If you search for 'fly', it returns symbols such as 'airplane' - making it easier than ever to find the perfect SF Symbol for your app.

+++ PREVIEW SYMBOLS IN DIFFERENT COLORS +++
Choose from a set of system colors or define your own in the color picker. Any change is reflected in the auto-generated code for seamless UI prototyping!

+++ SEE WHICH SYMBOLS ARE RESTRICTED +++
Some symbols may only be used to refer to certain Apple services. San Fransymbols shows a red banner for these, so you can be certain you are using each symbol correctly.

+++ COMPARE WEIGHTS ON THE FLY +++
Compare every weight of each symbol by simply tapping on the desired weight. Will it look better in semibold or heavy? San Fransymbols makes it easier than ever to decide.

+++ FAVORITE SYMBOLS +++
Tap the yellow star icon under any symbol to add it to your favorites. Perfect for keeping track of a list of symbols you want to incorporate into a project.

+++ CUSTOM GROUPS +++
Create your own groups of symbols - perfect for keeping track of symbols you wish to use across different projects. These groups sync automatically via iCloud, so you can pickup where you left off on whatever device is on hand. 

+++ SUPPORT FOR KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS AND CURSOR ON iPADOS +++
Full support for keyboard shortcuts and pointer interactions on iPadOS. Change symbol weight with the keyboard, right-click to set favorite symbols, easily navigate buttons with pointer interactions, and more.

### 5/5 — Excellent - highly recommended!

*2026-03-02, version 26.2*

Update 02/03/26: Thanks for the response to my feedback and changing the app to include What’s New in a collapsible group - great customer support to go with an already great App! 👍

Having Custom Groups & Collections way down at the bottom of the sidebar isn’t ideal and maybe the list of what’s new could be collapsible, but apart from those minor points it’s a great app and good value 👍

### 1/5 — No search

*2024-10-31*

Seems pretty important

**Developer response:** Hi, if you scroll up slightly, you should be able to reveal the search bar - if you want to search all symbols, go into the ‘All’ category. Please contact us at hello@codingcorner.co.uk if you need further assistance. We’d be grateful if you could update your review if this solves your problem.

### 5/5 — Solid app!

*2024-10-10*

Update: As per the response from the developer this sounds like copying the symbol font is in!

It’s a great symbols playground app, a great alternative to the Apple macOS one. However you cannot copy the symbols themselves, only the code to display them. This renders the use case of using the app to copy and paste SF Symbols within iOS impossible. This is really hindering the 5 stars the app should get.

**Developer response:** Edit - thank you for updating your review, it's much appreciated. This feature is now available in v7.0.1. If you have other suggestions or need support, our email is hello@codingcorner.co.uk

Hi, thanks for your review. This feature will be added in an upcoming update. Please note that symbol characters will only render correctly if the requisite fonts are installed - they will not display correctly on iOS by default. Currently, Apple does not allow the distribution of these fonts so they are not included with the app. The viewing of the symbol characters will work if, for example, you are editing a document on macOS with SF Symbols and SF Pro installed. Please contact us if you have any questions.

### 5/5 — Solid app with a fundamental flaw

*2024-10-07*

Update: As per the response from the developer this sounds like it is in the works! Looking forward to the update where we can copy the symbol as a part of the font.

### 5/5 — Can you allow colored icon images to be saved?

*2024-05-22*

Regardless of what I choose, when I save the image it is in black and white. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Edit - this has been fixed in v6.2.2 which will be released shortly.

Hi, thanks for your review. This bug will be fixed in an upcoming update.

### 5/5 — Best. Utility. Ever.

*2024-04-09*

This dev is doing the lords work! I use this app constantly. Keep it up!

### 5/5 — Two suggestions

*2024-03-08*

I would love to see you regroup the main menu of categories a bit. Specifically, I’d love it if Multicolor, Variable, Unicode Data, and Restricted were all grouped together under the heading Traits (or a similar name). And then possibly to split off All and What’s New from the other categories too. The entire list could then be titled Collections, which IMO is more accurate and intuitive.

It would also be really useful if I could filter to show just the symbols available to me for the minimum iOS version I’m targeting for an app. Example: only symbols present in iOS 15.

Otherwise, love the app!

### 3/5 — Viewer Only

*2022-06-18*

Yes your eyes do not deceive you.
I like the app and it is functional and elegant. 
Room for improvement
I look forward to an export style /  PNG / SVG
AND SF Symbols V4 of course.
Thanks Dev team !

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2022-06-13*

I like the "What's new" category, it shows the newly added symbols. There is a sidebar with SwiftUI AND UIKit code snippets ready to go. Recommended!
