Bold (iOS 17 Icon Set)

Freshen up your home screen with Bold: a beautiful set of friendly and balanced icons for iOS 14.

Nearly all stock icons in iOS 17 were last updated with iOS 7, which released a decade ago. In the years since, the design language of iOS has slowly evolved and reintroduced subtle shadows, bolder typography, and more rounded icons, resulting in a friendlier look that is more aesthetically pleasing.

Bold imagines what your home screen icons could look like if they were redesigned to match the design language of iOS today. If you like Dark Mode or want even more consistency, check out these alternative sets:

• Bold Dark
• Bold Light

How to Use

You can use custom icons by creating home screen shortcuts that open different apps.

Note that custom icons don't have notification badges or Quick Actions, and tapping them opens the Shortcuts app for a split second. 

Repeat this process for every icon you want to replace:

• Open the stock Shortcuts app 
• Add a shortcut by tapping + at the top
• Tap 'Add Action'
• Tap 'Scripting'
• Tap 'Open App'
• Tap 'Choose' and select the app you want to replace
• Tap the ••• button
• Tap 'Add to Home Screen'
• Enter the app's name, and tap the icon to the left
• Tap 'Choose Photo'
• Choose the Bold replacement icon
• Tap 'Add'

Refunds

I do not offer refunds for the simple reason that you would be able to keep using the icons if I were to offer a refund. The complete list of icons is available above, so you know what you're getting. Thank you for understanding.

Enjoy!
