Assets for Xcode is the fastest way to turn a single 1024px icon into polished AppIcon catalogs for every Apple platform. The redesigned macOS experience keeps the live canvas, BraveUI inspector, and export pipeline perfectly in sync so you can drop artwork in, preview every platform, and ship with confidence. โ€ข NEW in 5.0 โ€“ Sharper macOS canvas, centered previews, and a refreshed inspector that keeps platform toggles, adjustments, and background controls under one scroll. โ€ข Multi-platform preview board โ€“ See iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and watchOS mockups update in real time as you nudge sliders or change backgrounds. โ€ข BraveUI color workflow โ€“ Anchored color picker with presets, gradient picker, and hex input plus a one-tap transparency swatch so icons always look right on light and dark UIs. โ€ข Deterministic edits โ€“ Crop, Resize, Auto Enhance, and pro adjustments (brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, vignette, fade, highlights, shadows, sharpen) always reapply to the pristine source image. โ€ข Reliable import & export โ€“ Drag and drop, Finder, Files, or Photos all feed the same pipeline, and exports remember your last destination, generate perfect Contents.json files, and open the folder instantly on macOS. โ€ข Built-in guidance โ€“ Tooltips, success/error toasts, and warnings for undersized art keep every run stress-free. Tune once, preview everything, and deliver a production-ready AppIcon catalog in minutes.

About

Headmin!

Features
Read full description

Headmin is a native admin console for Headscale, the open-source, self-hosted control server for Tailscale-based networks. Point it at your own server and manage your entire tailnet from your phone โ€” no dashboard tab required. CONNECT TO YOUR OWN SERVER Enter your Headscale URL and API key once. Your credentials are validated and then stored securely on-device, in your phone's Keychain or Keystore โ€” never on our servers, because we don't have any. Headmin talks directly to your Headscale instance. USERS List, create, rename and delete users in seconds. NODES See every device on your network at a glance: online status, IP addresses and tags. Rename a node, move it to a different user, expire its key, or remove it entirely. Generate pre-auth keys with custom expiry, reusable or single-use, tagged for your ACLs. ROUTES View every subnet route and exit node your devices advertise, and approve or disable them individually. ACL POLICIES Edit rules, groups, tag owners and hosts through a visual editor, or drop into a raw HuJSON view for full control. BUILT FOR SELF-HOSTERS Headmin has no backend of its own and no account system โ€” it's a thin, secure client for the server you already run. Your data stays between your phone and your infrastructure. Requires an existing Headscale server and an API key (generate one with `headscale apikeys create`).
