Glyphon finds the SF Symbol you mean — not just the one you typed. Ask in plain words, in any language, and the on-device Oracle answers with the exact glyph — plus the reason why it fits: • "I need an icon to represent a game console." → arcade.stick.console • "a rainy weather app icon" → cloud.rain • "何かお祝いっぽいアイコン" → 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 — the AI runs entirely on your device with Apple Intelligence. THE ORACLE — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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 — and tells you so honestly. SF Symbols is a technology of Apple Inc. Glyphon is an independent app, not affiliated with Apple.
