Automatically arrange toolbar icons to Apple design guidelines

Upload a screenshot and icon set, and AI classifies and places each icon following Apple's interface guidelines.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each icon in the set.

The problem it solves

You or your designers spend hours deciding where each toolbar icon should sit, second-guessing whether it follows platform conventions. Inconsistent icon placement confuses users and slows down design reviews.

Who it fits

App design teams and product designers building interfaces for Apple platforms.

How it works

  1. A screenshot and set of icons are submitted
  2. AI reviews the screen and classifies each icon's role
  3. It places each icon in the correct toolbar area based on Apple's guidelines
  4. Icons are reordered by how often they're likely to be used
  5. A structured list of icon placements is returned
What you get

A clean layout without redoing the icon work

You upload a screenshot and icon set and get back a placement plan that follows Apple's own interface guidelines.

What you get

A structured breakdown of where each toolbar icon should go, ready to hand to designers or developers.

What you need

A Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
