Aegis answers from your real findings ā no dashboards to dig through.

Glyphon finds the SF Symbol you mean ā not just the one you typed. Ask in plain words, in any language, and the on-device Oracle answers with the exact glyph ā plus the reason why it fits: ⢠"I need an icon to represent a game console." ā arcade.stick.console ⢠"a rainy weather app icon" ā cloud.rain ⢠"ä½ććē„ćć£ć½ćć¢ć¤ć³ć³" ā sparkles.2, with the reason written in Japanese The Oracle weighs more than 9,000 glyphs for every ask and lines up alternates you can compare. No account, no server, no waiting ā the AI runs entirely on your device with Apple Intelligence. THE ORACLE ā AI PICKS ⢠Understands context and nuance in any language ⢠Picks from 9,000+ symbols and explains every choice ⢠Feeling lucky? Ask for nothing and draw a random glyph THE HOARD ā BROWSE & SEARCH ⢠Fast keyword search across the whole SF Symbols library ⢠Browse by category, filter by release year ⢠Variants, related symbols, and copy-ready code snippets for SwiftUI, UIKit, and Objective-C THE GRIMOIRE ā COLLECTIONS ⢠Save symbols into per-project collections ⢠Export a collection as a name list when it's time to code PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking ⢠Your searches, AI requests, and collections never leave your device Glyphon is free to download: search, browse, and keep one collection. A single one-time purchase awakens the Oracle ā AI picks and unlimited collections, forever. No subscription, ever. Requires iOS 26 or later. AI picks need a device that supports Apple Intelligence; on other devices Glyphon falls back to keyword matching ā and tells you so honestly. SF Symbols is a technology of Apple Inc. Glyphon is an independent app, not affiliated with Apple.
